Originally posted by CiTay "--quality x.x with x.x between 0.0 and 9.9 exists" Two-digit quality switch is not implemented... yet? On the other hand: the --quality parameter is not restricted to 1 decimal. I was trying some --quality values in combination with --verbose to get an idea what Frank had put under the --quality switch (Just curious:o). I noticed that -q 6.5 gave --nmt 8.9 while -q 6.6 went to --nmt 9.1. Indeed with -q 6.65 --nmt showed up as 9.0. (As did --quality 6.66 :diabolic: ). To skip that discussion, I'll be the first to admid that this won't make an audible difference But hey, it gives the tweakers a hundred times more options. I know that 1.05 is considered beta (or even alpha) but I found that besides giving -q >= 10 it is also possible to give negative values. Something that can easily happen when dealing with command line options, as it happened to me . This will be simple to fix with an input argument check though. Also the switches --nmt and --tmn are still present in this version so this version might be the one everyone likes . From the --longhelp it showed that a new (set of) ATH's was introduced and defaulted: --ltq 10...20: Other ATH with different HF roll-off (dflt) (Does that account for the decreased bitrates ??) Well I guess it's in everyones interest to help Frank and do some serious listening tests with this new stuff. Frank: I'd like to suggest that the option -q is added as an alias for --quality. BTW. I realy like the improved scalability. -- Ge Someone edit: I hate the fact that preview shows the message completely different
