T O P I C     R E V I E W Jackie I found out that the interface to lame_enc.dll has been updated so it now also accepts the predefined settings often asked for on this forum. So I have made a test version which can use these settings. Yes, it's true, now you can finally use --alt-preset standard with LAME as internal encoder! http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net/ag183test.zip Here is from the included textfile: This is a test version of Audiograbber. Users should first have downloaded Audiograbber from http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net/download.html Then install it and replace the audiograbber.exe file with the one from this zip file. This version will let you use the predefined settings from LAME with the lame_enc.dll as internal encoder. Modify the following line in audiograbber.ini: MP3QualityMode= Use one of the following: MP3QualityMode=R3MIX MP3QualityMode=VERYHIGH MP3QualityMode=ALTPRESETSTANDARD MP3QualityMode=ALTPRESETSTANDARDFAST MP3QualityMode=ALTPRESETEXTREME MP3QualityMode=ALTPRESETEXTREMEFAST MP3QualityMode=ALTPRESETINSANE MP3QualityMode=ALTPRESETABR MP3QualityMode=ALTPRESETCBR The VBR quality seems to have effect but just a little. For default setting set it to VBR 4. The VBR method seems to have no effect so you can set that to whatever you want. When you run Audiograbber do not click any of the radio buttons for Voice, Low, Normal or High quality. Tomb That's good news - I mentioned this on an earlier thread but couldn't find out how to do it with AG - now I know! I will give the test version a go. No excuse for p*** poor 128 k/bit mp3's now... As for the VBR quality the presets should overide any other settings. jbrooker Can someone tell me, do I need to still do this if I am using the Lame.exe file. I am encoding using --alt-preset standard NeoRenegade No, the EXE version of LAME is great. The whole point of putting Alt Presets in the DLLs was to be more useful like the EXE. Tomb Ripped a couple of CD's last night using the test version of AG and the lame_enc.dll using --alt-preset standard. It works great! Rather than edit the ini file will there be greater support direct from Audiograbber using the lame_enc.dll and the presets in future versions? moonroy quote: Originally posted by Tomb: Ripped a couple of CD's last night using the test version of AG and the lame_enc.dll using --alt-preset standard. It works great! Rather than edit the ini file will there be greater support direct from Audiograbber using the lame_enc.dll and the presets in future versions? I am sure there will be a dropbox with the settings in a future final version. Jackie most likely posted this testversion so you guys could download, test and POST your opinions in this thread! Do not just download, run and sit quiet. Always post your ideas. ------------------ moonroy, Moderator Lgoler If there is no drop down box, how do we know AG is using the presets correctly? What is the compression rate on the AltPresetStandard? Tomb Under MP3 Compression on the Copying Dialog it states Alt Preset Standard Quality (Lame). You can more or less confirm this when viewing the properties of a track with Foobar. [This message has been edited by Tomb on 01 March 2004 @ 07:22] Lgoler Sorry for my ignorance, but what is Foobar? Tomb Foobar is a minimalist player but now rips, decodes, burns CD's (with Nero Present), tags and lots more. See http://www.foobar2000.org/ for more. I recommend the special version. Lgoler I opened the Audiograbber.ini file and added the line ALTPRESETEXTREME where the thread says to. When I rip the track and play it, ITunes shows it as being at 126kbs VBR. Is this right? [This message has been edited by Lgoler on 01 March 2004 @ 11:43] Phoenix42 Lgoler, 126kbs is quite small for a ALTPRESETEXTREME encoded file, I'd be expecting something more like 256kbs. jihiggs is this i tunes free for download or somthing? i hear all this talk about it, while im against windows media type players i want to try it so i can say i have used it when i say its stupid. Tomb Yes Itunes is free. However, for the PC, it is only available for Windows 2000/XP users and is a hefty 20mb download. It's AAC Encoder recently come out on top of a 128 k/bits AAC Test (see forum thread I posted). Get it from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ If you want to try AAC and if you have NT4/Win 9x why not use FAAC (Free Advanced Audio Codec) as an external encoder with Audiograbber instead? You can get the latest windows binary from: http://www.saunalahti.fi/cse/files/ Download FAAC.Zip (encoder), in_mp4.dll (for winamp 2 & 5) and FAAD.zip (the decoder if you need it).

Try it in Winamp or Foobar. nguyen 高田馬場　賃貸 船上ウェディング 妊娠　症状 結婚式 招待状 プライベートエクイティ　転職 不動産　多摩 席札 八王子　賃貸管理 アメリカ大学院留学 相続税対策 ゴルフレッスン新大阪 おもちゃ景品 デザインリフォーム 自動機 酒豪伝説 カラーコンタクト　度あり 都筑区　マンション 帰化申請 中古医療機器　買取 ゴルフ会員権 歯並び 水周り　リフォーム トランクルーム　埼玉 ローテーブル 派遣 求人 風呂釜 英会話 オフィス用品 インターネット広告 助成金　横浜 プロフィールビデオ 婚活　東京 カード現金化　上野 店舗デザイン　大阪 医療用かつら 三田線　賃貸 キャップ 秦野　一戸建て スポーツインナー 賃貸オフィス ハーレー 外国商標 バイク便 ディズニーランド アトピー性皮膚炎 ブライダルエステ　銀座 ボイストレーニング 名古屋 上尾　不動産 ゴミ箱 昭島市　一戸建て 治験　ボランティア フランス語スクール english tutor オーダーカーテン フルコミッション 格安住宅 千葉　宴会 バーチャルオフィス東京 カップリングパーティー 冬期講習 介護　求人 肺がん 胃がん 冬虫夏草 アメリカ留学 脚やせ 賃貸　大阪市 連結　システム
