in wiki the links are missing, the wiki contains only the pure lame settings.

Correct since these links should be in the relevant pages around the wiki.

Why is the Wiki list sorted differently ? It is much clearer here. Can I change it so that AltPreset standard is recommended as better quality / size ratio ?

How is it better sorted here?
It should be a direct copy...

Here :
Recommended encoder settings (APS green, APE yellow , API red)
ABR settings
CBR settings

APS is on top, in green in the recommended section.

In the Wiki ( http://doc.hydrogenaudio.org/wikis/hydroge...RecommendedLAME ) :

CBR best : API
VBR (APE, then APS)
ABR Settings
CBR Settings

API appears as the best, then, for the one who understands than VBR is superior to ABR and CBR, APE, and then only APS

ah yes... Yes that should be changed...

edit: problem is that with current css there no difference between <h1>, <h2> and <hX>...
So we'd have to use bold or something now...

Stupid question (must be my work with user-related stuff):

Why recommeded settings aren't distributed with lame distribution files?

It is quite funny that in HA Forums developers say "don't use this or that swithc, use presets" but with the distro comes with "Full command line switch reference" which guarantees the newbies to either
a) "Run! This is for nerds!" or
b) to completely screw up their mp3's

If there is a higher reason for not to put recommeded settings to the first (or only) page of the manual, I would be interested to know.

Ask the lame creators to include these recommendations.

Have you really read the documentation? I guess no

Thanks for the answer, Gabriel.

Yes, I have read the documentation that comes with recommended compile. That's why I ask.

They might be part of documentation but not part of the distribution.

http://rarewares.hydrogenaudio.org/files/l...lame-3.90.3.zip

No link to the sourceforge or hydrogen anywhere on the documentation, just links to http://www.mp3encoder.org or http://www.r3mix.net/, which both go to a commercial site, nothing to do with lame.

The absence of the preset.html from the 3.90.3 distro is my fault!! 

Because 3.90.3 is hybrid compile, I had omitted to think to include the later presets.html doc within the bundle. I have now corrected this, so end of argument!!

I think that the link from index.html to presets.html is missing. Without it, I think that many people will miss presets.html

You're probably right. I'll update that too!!

Edit:

How to

Reencode mp3 (high bitrate with ID3 tags) to mp3 (low bitrate) and include tags to new mp3 file : Try Monkeys Audio http://www.monkeysaudio.com/, or maybe better: foobar 2000, use the CLI encoder: http://www.saunalahti.fi/cse/html/foobar.html




I hope, mp3 to mp3 works with the CLI (if not correct me),
for mpc -> mp3, it worked just great !

Hi, I need a little advice, please...

1. I use RazorLAME, but I haven't updated it since about version 3.90 and I know there are newer versions of LAME. Could anyone tell me the simplest way to update RazorLAME so it runs the latest LAME? (Presumably I can do this without having to reinstall RazorLAME from scratch?)

2. Can anyone tell me what the best place is to check when it's "safe" to download the latest LAME update? (I heard there were a few bugs a few releases ago and I don't want to download a buggy version.) Is there some site that keeps you informed of which is the latest stable version of LAME?

3. I went to a site that says there's a v3.94 alpha version of LAME out (http://www.mp3dev.org/mp3/history.html) but to enable one of the new features that makes it better quality, you have to type "-h". I normally just use alt preset extreme. How would I add this "-h" to the preset, or would RazorLAME do it for me?

Sorry to sound like a big fat lamer. I guess I am. Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask. Thanks to anyone who can help me with any of these questions!

The wiki page and this thread will be updated with the compile we recommend. replace the lame.exe in the razorlame dir with this compile.

There's a reason why it's called alpha. It should be used for testing only. So far quality isn't better than 3.90.3 + alt presets, probably there'll be cases where it's much worse.

is there a lame preset that that would correspond to 160 bitrate?

IE  Insane - 320 ish

Standard - 190 ish

is there a preset that would be about 160 ish?
