I think I remember a time where #gamemp3s used to encode their CD rips in -V 2, but they switched to -V 1/-V 0 some time ago. I've always encoded my music projects in -V 2 and I'll keep it that way for a while (hell, I think this very thread was where I got the command line from and I've been using it since late 2005).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I use Exact Audio Copy to convert WAVs ripped directly from CDs into mp3 but I use dBpowerAMP for anything else. The latter program requires a crack for you to use it as long as you want, though, so you might want to look for it on a torrent site.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

How do I make it bring up and convert WAV files?

Basically, I need a program that functions exactly like Audacity. =(

Not sure what the problem is there. You tried setting the 'Files of type' drop-down box to All Audio Files?

Chances are you might have a fake version of the program, though. I'll upload mine for you:

How ya doing, buddy?

So I decided I'm going to stop using LAME 3.97 and instead use either LAME 3.98 or LAME 3.98.2. I don't upgrade mp3 encoders often (I prefer lossless over mp3) and to me it seems like 3.98.2 has just a very minor fix.

Would it be just as reasonable to use 3.98 instead of 3.98.2, at least until the next version of LAME (ie 3.99) gets released?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, the fact that #gamemp3s seems to have upgraded to 3.98.2 seals the deal for me, I will start using that then. Thanks.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ugh, all this time I've been using 192kbps as a minimum bitrate in EAC, but no maximum bitrate. Time to go change some settings again.

It's all Kairyu's fault

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
