mpTrim Pro, Nice For Batch Trimming? Options

[FormerlyDFox]

I was looking at mpTrim Pro, is it nice to do it's automatic batch trimming?

I've seen it in action, just drop and drag a directory on it, and it goes to work.

I wondered how nice it worked, and if any quality loss of the mp3 would happen as a result of this, if everything was just left on the Default settings...

But from what I saw it's not just dealing with trimming, it's looking at tags, crc, cbr/vbr, cleaning up unrecognized info, volume/maybe gain adjustment, etc...

So I'm wondering if it might mess up mp3s too?


THANKS

I use mptrim pro a lot and I would like to warn users that IT IS NOT POSSIBLE to trim silence from the beginning of mp3 files encoded with newer versions of the LAME encoder. Of all the mp3 encoders, LAME is the only one that seems to deliberately encode beginning silence in a way that combines it with the audible portion so that it cannot be removed. If frames are removed from the beginning of LAME encoded files with silence at the beginning, the audible portion is BADLY corrupted (a loud chirp or squawk is usually produced.)

Does the problem go away if you minimize the use of the bit reservoir?

Example:
mp3packer -b 320 original.mp3 nores.mp3
(or use the --nores option when invoking LAME)
