Hi!

I posted this on another thread accidentally but perhaps this more or less is better off here anyway... So.

I'm new to this forum. I registered because I needed some encoding information for my new-born Creative MuVo TX SE. Since it's only 256MB, I'd like to fill it up with proper encodings.

Sorry if this is the wrong section or something. I tried searching for topics about mp3 player encodings but failed.

So. I use dBPowerAmp which has command line access to Lame, and Lame is the latest 3.97b I believe. The one recommended here anyway.

Since I'm probably going to invest to Sennheiser PX-100 or something similar, I figured -V 6 might be appropriate.

-V6 --vbr-new was in mind actually. Now I have read about this -Y parameter, which cuts everything above 16kHz. I tried it, but it just produced the same results as in normal -V6. Also, I checked the full command line reference, and it was not there. Is this somehow obsolete and/or replaced by some other parameter?

I put my money on --highpass 16 , but I dont think it did anything. Probably not the switch I'm searching for or completely wrong anyway.

I'm not an Audiophile. I was considering -V8 but thought that new headphones might require the -V6 so I was sticking with that. I guess its pretty good.

I can now fit 3 -V2 albums on this player. More is required and that quality is an overkill for me anyway (although I do encoded all my CD's with that).

Thank you for your time!

And the final question is this: The whole thing with --alt preset being ABR, was this true in some versions? I always wanted the recommended --alt preset standard but ended up with bitrates never topping 224kbps. With the latest Lame though, no problems, just curious about why did I had this experience in the past.

A lot of threads have a lot of info here, and I'm really having troubles finding the right ones. I'm not shy to use wild command line commands as long as I understand the parameters given and can create the smallest size for a good sound by my hearing. All the command line options are just baffling.

Dear latuman,

You can find my answer in the other thread: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....ndpost&p=342257


Edit: added the explanation.

Yes, thank you, I know the rules. Did not notice the wrong place until a while ago. One can be deleted if a moderator wants so or not. Conversation can be continued in the other thread in my opinion.
