Following memomai's thread on the subject, a poll regarding your LAME VBR habits.
NB: If you use -V5.5, choose the "-V5 (.XXX)" option. If you don't use VBR, don't bother contributing; this poll is for LAME VBR users only. This post has been edited by Synthetic Soul: Oct 21 2008, 19:15 -------------------- I'm on a horse.

I'm using LAME 3.98 (not yet updated to .2) with -V0 for ripping CDs
[edit] the -V0 MP3s are played back with Winamp's MAD plugin at 24bit and sent via S/PDIF to my Denon AVR and I use Winamp's out_lame plugin with -V5 for recompressing them with ReplayGain applied to feed my car stereo mp3 player.

I'm sure you will get comments on this one because you say you recompress mp3 from -V0 to -V5 and that produces poorer results than compressing from CD or lossless directly to -V5. Maybe you're happy with the quality you get right now but consider ripping to lossless once and forever (check out ripping guides for Windows in HA Wiki). Afterwards you can convert to whatever lossy format and quality you want. |

I just edited my posting to further explain my usage and since I don't drive a Rolls Royce or any other "silent" car, V5 is more than enough to substitute radio reception ...  Admittedly, I could re-rip everything to a lossless format, but my CD collection has grown over the years (approaching 1k), so it would be a huge task that I'm not willing to challenge yet, because -V0 sounds splendid on my Denon and recompressing them to -V5 is still great for in car listening. Cheers ! Maggi |
