I tested 3.100a2 at the -V2 quality level for lead-voice, trumpet_myPrince, harp40_1, and eig_essence (samples are here).
lead-voice which is real bad with 3.99.5 -V2 has improved so much that IMO the result is in accordance with what -V2 users expect: transparency usually and no real obvious issue even on rare occasion. Also with trumpet_myPrince the 3.100a2 result is better than that of 3.99.5. I was able to ABX the difference. Same goes for harp40_1. The obvious spot around sec. 3.0 of eig_essence however got a bit worse with 3.100a2. I was able to ABX the difference.

How is the LAME header written in 3.100? (I'm using a Mac so I can't test the new alpha binary)
There was some controversy when 3.99.1 used "L3.99r1" instead of the standard "LAME3.99" causing some programs not to correctly identify LAME encodes (this was fixed in 3.99.2). Max number of characters is 9. My suggestion was "LAME31001" for an eventual 3.100.1 release. LAME 3.99 discussion -------------------- XLD // FLAC // LAME
