Hey, I found a cd-r of Dookie off the cd I used to once have, but I lost

Now I burned this back in my wee days and can't remember if it was compressed to death or it was a burst cd -> cd-r with no compression.

I'll read off the avg bitrates and can someone tell me if its close to the actual money? thx

here goes (used LAME 3.96.1)

(in chronological order with track list)

-186
-168
-167
-174
-189
-126
-167
-163
-179
-151
-182
-190
-170
-121

kthx guys

here's cover art

it would help alot if you would post the settings that where used when encoding, i.e. --preset medium etc

These are the bit rates I have for the album using LAME 3.96.1 at Preset Standard. The CD was the original audio CD ripped with Exact Audio Copy.

01. 203 kbps
02. 208 kbps
03. 208 kbps
04. 191 kbps
05. 213 kbps
06. 202 kbps
07. 199 kbps
08. 203 kbps
09. 207 kbps
10. 190 kbps
11. 209 kbps
12. 204 kbps
13. 199 kbps
14. 138 kbps

For 3.90.3:

1. 241kbps
2. 238 kbps
3. 233 kbps
4. 213 kbps
5. 233 kbps
6. 233 kbps
7. 226 kbps
8. 234 kbps
9. 245 kbps
10. 226 kbps
11. 240 kbps
12. 237 kbps
13. 239 kbps
14. 154 kbps

thanks guys -- i'm using --alt-preset standard

it appears as if my cd was pry encoded @ 192 or 160, although its possible you and I both had different masterings... oh well, too cheap to buy another copy (that and I just bought Arcade Fire - Funeral so im broke )

unlikely if you look at the bitrates IMO.

you could however use auCDtect to verify the source (or at least get a good indication).
