read the FAQ. as i understand you´ve been banned once, when you will start like this again, watch out

because like this you won´t get many friends around here.
do your homework and browse the FAQ´s and forum a little bit.

There's no excuse for being a 56k modem user. Your question has been asked many, many times. The answers have been given many, many times already. But just for your sake, the LAME version sticky in the mp3 section recommends 3.90.3.
In commandline, just --alt-preset standard is usually enough. If you cannot ABX the difference between --alt-preset standard and --alt-preset extreme or insane, stick with standard. Saves you HD space.
Warning: DO NOT USE additional switches in the commandline together with the --alt-presets as they MOST LIKELY will DEGRADE sound quality.
