Blues 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2003 mat, to my ears both sound abt the same. the iriver is a tad.. slow to my ears.. and the laptop has a sligthly more warmer sound.. but that's about it. in terms of detail, I can't differentiate 192 kbps lame encoded and the original cd out of iriver pcdp.

matbon0013 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2003 Blues Guy, that's interesting! So you are benchmarking at 192k mp3, how good is LAME? Have you tried? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erickoh 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2003 I encode my mp3s using LAME, VBR mode. At about 192k the mp3 is indistinguishable from the original CD. (Check my sig) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matbon0013 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2003 It's another compression option for ripping CD's to mp3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wortel 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2003 LAME is my encoder of choice. I usually rip @ 320kbps - but most of the music I have is ripped by other people But most of my music is 192 - 128 Some 128kbps sounds nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matbon0013 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2003 for Mac Users- I've had this link that I kept but never exercised. Here for the one with iTunes plugin and here for a stand alone LAME encoder. Anybody who has tried it let us know the outcome, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
