My dilemma is that presets such alt preset standard, or alt preset extreme on razor lame and probably other front ends have some advantages such as being preset.

"Alt presets trigger a bunch of code-level enhancements that are not possible to achieve with command line switches. Therefore, alt presets are for our convenience." (from item #6 at http://www.geocities.com/altbinariessoun...r-encoding.htm)

My question is as much as I would like to use Razor Lame and its presets, etc to convert to mp3. It cannot convert directly from FLAC to Mp3 like Foobar2000 can. Since most things I convert are FlAC, I use Foobar. So am I losing quailty by using Foobar to convert using Lame. Or am i just being silly since Foobar still uses lame, and kind of has presets such as V0-245kbps Vbr, V1-225kbps V2-190kbps Vbr. Just dont like knowing that I could be receiving a better quality but same size file if i use razor lame presets (alt preset extreme).

So is their a difference in quailty, even though its miniscule? Is Foobar a good converter in general compared to razorlame? Does it not matter since both use VBR lame? Thanks for anyone who answers :)

There is no difference between the output you get if you use -V2 or --alt-preset standard.

Wiki.Com ^

Hopefully someone found this helpful, but I think this answers my question seeing that foobar uses the V system while razor lame tends to prefer presets. But i guess their the same, thanks....
