I would of replyed to the other thread but it is closed for me since it's over 60 days since a reply. Anyways I have a question for cd-rw.org or anyone knowledgible in Lame. From what I gather in the previous Lame thread, is it correct the alt preset extreme is the best VBR setting; better than anything you can input via command since it was tweaked code not available elsewhere? Here is a command line I just used via cut and past from Razorlame; -b 192 -m j -h -V 0 -B 320 --lowpass 19.7 -q 1
The reason I used some of the variables is I read their is a posibility that LAME could get wrong the needed variable bit rate in certain instances so I put a floor at 192. Now I'm not too sure about the lowpass option, but I thought I read it as mp3's over 20 kHz could not be heard by the human ear. And finally, somewhere, I read the -q 0 was overkill and -q 1 was just fine. Don't know if any of this stuff is correct, so what do you all think. BTW, I just learned of LAME about a week ago, so go easy.

Also cd-rw spoke of lossless audio. Is it truely lossless when you decompress back to wav? I've been messing around with monkey and flac and monkey seems alittle more user friendly; especially with EAC. Will FLAC eventually evolve like LAME since it's open source? One more question, and sorry for being so long winded. What about ogg vorbis I've been reading about? Is it that much better than LAME or is all that just talk? Thanks in advance for any replys.
