Note the table named "Technical details of the recommended settings".Īfter all that lecturing, a moment of truth. This is the wiki on Lame and it’s setting.

It is a free world but who are they trying to fool?
NERO POWERPACK LAME MP3 ENCODER ARCHIVE
This makes sense for an archive but not for listening. They obsess to preserve 40 kHz information while the may not be able to pick out 10 kHz in music.

What many audiophiles tend to ignore is by the time they are audiophiles they can't hear even 15 kHz. As we listen to music our ability to hear high notes diminishes but audiophiles are more aware of what they hear. Listening to music exercises the listening center of the brain. Children prefer simple music but as they age many prefer more complex music. A composer may use 100 times the oxygen at the listening center of the brain than a teenager. So even if you can hear 15 kHz in a hearing test you will not be able to hear most 10 kHz notes in music.Ī women's high voice is only about 2 kHz.Īs we age we loose the ability to hear high notes but also tend to use more brainpower to listen to music. One more point is as we approach our high-end hearing limit the tones sound less logarithmically. Women's hearing tends to age a bit slower then men. Listening to loud music hastens the aging process. The reality is we lose the ability to hear high frequencies as we age. There are no perfect settings, if so, there wouldn't be any settings. This is the best reason to keep lossless since with the proper settings, mp3s SOUND the same as lossless. Many maintain a lossless archive just for that purpose. Dreaming up settings to circumvent that process is foolish to me.Ĭompressed files are only crap if you change your mind and want to change the format. Isn't that what you should be concerned about? VBR is the ONLY format that provides a constant quality sound. The beauty of VBR is you set the quality not the bits. It would be great to see a preset tuned for the 256 ceiling, specialy for challenged but otherwise functional players, as it is, I think there is a fair chance of it being the spot im looking to hit, Ill have to wait and see if the -B256 setting produces pesky artifacts with altpreset not designed to accomodate it. If not it would seem to follow to use 256 as the bitrate ceiling for everything except stuff for studio or ultra hifi applications -that pretty much need wav anyway. I have wondered what the purpose of the 320 frames in vbr is since I remmember reading that transparent cd/mp3 listening had been achieved at 256 cbs or is that just a r3mix myth? It seems a perfect compromise then to use the max bitrate -B256 recommended here, combined with the -alt-preset standard or extreme vbrs ,generously & highly tuned by people with better ears and amps than I.Īs well as help fudged mp3 players, this setting will presumably lower the average bitrate of the file a little too. I do like the idea of vbr because in theory it should be more efficient, but Im ripping my cds for fileshare too and compatibility is important to me -It would be nice not to dump all the mp3 players that have problems with vbr. I surfed for ages to find my dream lame setting and think i seen it in this thread so registered just to comment.
