Using Lame 3.97: First, the ACM directory in the source distro is bad. ACM is empty and acm (lower case) contains the contents, making the Linux compile not work until you rename it.
Second, I've been having a problem decoding a particular file. (It seems, from searching the web, that someone else had the same problem, but they were using a freeformat file, which this is not). % lame Track12.mp3 --decode -o Track12.wav ID3v2 found. Be aware that the ID3 tag is currently lost when transcoding. input: Track12.mp3 (32 kHz, 1 channel, MPEG-1 Layer III) output: Track12.wav (16 bit, Microsoft WAVE) skipping initial 1105 samples (encoder+decoder delay) big_values too large! 403 Can't step back 197! bitstream problem: resyncing... big_values too large! 502 Frame# 1/598 635 kbps bitstream problem: resyncing... Error: number of channels has changed in MP3 file - not supported Error: sample frequency has changed in MP3 file - not supported Frame# 2/598 80 kbps Error: number of channels has changed in MP3 file - not supported etc. Despite appearances, the error isn't the big_values problem. The error is that somehow Lame thinks the file is 32 kHz, 1 channel, when it's really 44 kHz, 2 channel (which mp3info confirms). _______________________________________________ mp3encoder mailing list mp3encoder@minnie.tuhs.org http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/mp3encoder
