LAME 4.0 alpha 13 CLI encoder for TESTING ONLY 20 Options

[lithoc]

I've notice something new on rarewares.

Just FYI,

I'm doing some encoding now, only for testing purposes of course

Not entirely happy with the 3.97b2 encode using -V 2 --vbr-new on my ipod. The 4.0 encode using -V 0 sounds terrific. I've encoded a few more classical piano CDs and the results are excellent.

I think you are likely to get flamed here if you don't provide some ABX-results that show that 4.0 sounds better (to you) than 3.97 b2. You are violating TOS #8.

Well, I'm not sure that jumping up two notches on the quality settings and claiming that it sounds better constitutes a TOS #8 violation. It's common sense! Even when we are talking about a beta vs an alpha of the same codec.

But it has already been said: quality comments on LAME 4.0 alphas are not welcome until public tests have begun.

And besides, this guy just said that he is not "entirely happy" with V2 on the recommended LAME compile. I guess that says a lot (and that does constitute a TOS #8 violation)
