The file size should be around 190-200 kbps. I know Lame is pretty fast but I want Xing-speed and Lame quality. Possible? If so, which settings? Now I don't know anything about Gogo, but if it's true that it's basically an assembler-tuned LAME v3.88, I would guess that it sounds quite similar to LAME v3.89 which I happen to know quite well, because I helped to integrate it into MP3Coder, a Win3x GUI for several DOS tools. As this was the last version without the --alt-presets, you're stuck to the older presets, if you don't want to use your own command line options. A good overview of these presets and their equivalent parameters can be found with --preset help on the command line (sorry for widening everyone's screen solution in this thread now):LAME version 3.89 (http://www.mp3dev.org/) Presets are shortcuts for common or carefully tuned settings. Several separate collections of preset profiles are available. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Basic- presets covering a wide span of qualities and bit rates These presets may be combined with -v for VBR MP3s. phone phon+ lw mw-eu mw-us sw fm voice radio tape hifi cd studio =============================================================================================== --resample 8 11 11 11 16 11 32 24 --highpass 0.125 0.1 --lowpass 3.4 4 4 4 7.6 4 15 12 15 18 18 --lowpass-width 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.9 0.9 --noshort yes yes no no no no no yes no no no no no -m -mm -mm -mm -mm -mm -mm -mj -mm -mj -mj -mj -ms -ms -q -q5 -q5 -q5 -q5 -q5 -q5 -q3 -q5 -q3 -q3 -q5 -q5 -q5 -b 16 24 24 24 40 24 112 56 128 128 160 192 256 -- PLUS WITH -v ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -V 6 4 3 3 3 3 3 4 3 3 2 1 0 -q -q5 -q5 -q5 -q5 -q5 -q5 -q3 -q5 -q3 -q3 -q2 -q2 -q2 -b 8 16 16 16 24 16 80 40 96 96 112 128 160 -B 24 32 56 56 112 56 256 112 256 256 320 320 320 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXAMPLES: a) --preset fm equals to: -mj -b112 --resample 32 --lowpass 15 --lowpass-width 0 -q3 b) -v --preset studio equals to: -ms -V0 -b160 -B320 -q2 I've cleaned up this table for my own purposes, so it probably looks a bit different from yours, if Gogo will put out something similar at all. As you can see, your aim is probably best achieved with --preset cd -v, so you would use a variable bitrate with a minimum of 128 and a maximum of 320 kbps, averaging somewhere at 192 kbps. This setting already sounded very good to me, but I did no comparisons with a newer LAME version and --alt-preset standard, because I lost interest in these high bitrates soon thereafter. A little flaw with the high-range presets is also shown in this table: when not using -v together with --preset hifi, cd or studio, the -q setting is defaulted to -q5 which is of course wrong, because it should rather be -q2, -q1 and -q0. But this is not the case when you combine these presets with a variable bitrate.
