DreamweaverN Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I want to make a ABR (as they are better than VBR, or so I have read) and am wondering how to do it? I use Dibrom's LAME version as that is said to be the best. I am wondering if this can be done? I want to make 192bit MP3s if possible. Thanks.

Thanks. depends on what bitrate you encode at, 128ABR is better then CBR 128, but -aps VBR is better then ABR 192 for ABR encoding use this switch --alt-preset ### --alt-preset 128 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/77696-eac-ripping-encoding-tutorial/page/2/#findComment-1276328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamweaverN Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Ah so for my ABRs all I need to do is use --alt-preset 192 and that will give me ABR?

insanekiwi Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 --alt-preset standard or --alt-preset standard -Z for me :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/77696-eac-ripping-encoding-tutorial/page/2/#findComment-1277200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raum Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Yup, CDex served me well. Ripped 500+ albums with it to MP3, but now I'm re-ripping my albums in .aac Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/77696-eac-ripping-encoding-tutorial/page/2/#findComment-1488051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Khan Reviews Posted December 18, 2003 Reviews Share Posted December 18, 2003 Yup, CDex served me well. Ripped 500+ albums with it to MP3, but now I'm re-ripping my albums in .aac i still find mp3 the best overall quality but i now have winamp pro with aac and mp3 too so can use either, i also have been using cdex for years using qmode0 in lame and vbr 192-224 and wihtout fail the audio clarity is superb each time, lame version 3.93 btw, rips a 4 min track in about 25 seconds at 12x realtime Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/77696-eac-ripping-encoding-tutorial/page/2/#findComment-1488704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
M/\TT Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I used to use CDex @ 192. I then ripped a few albums at 320 and was very impressed with the quality. I then encoded the same albums using the Musepak encoder in EAC with a variable bit-rate which peaks about 215. They sound great and are so much smaller than a 320 mp3 :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/77696-eac-ripping-encoding-tutorial/page/2/#findComment-1594356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshuggah Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 you know....honestly i disagree about EAC being the best ripping program....in fact i think it is very overrated and ever since i got into the scene i have had problems with the program....and for two years i have been ripping cd's with a much better program (at least in my eyes)... while its not free-ware....i think its a hell of a lot better...and it doesnt have a WIN-DOS pop up....heh Easy CD-DA Extractor ...... here Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/77696-eac-ripping-encoding-tutorial/page/2/#findComment-1626365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted January 31, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2004 -V 1 -b 128 -m j -h -q 1 so is that the best commandline to use? thats the one they gave on the site. I used to use CBR but VBR is so much better but then again the files are alot larger. Just wondering I guess.

morganpugh84 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 i use --abr 192 -b 64 -B 320 -m s -h It produces excellent quality yet with a predictible filesize :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/77696-eac-ripping-encoding-tutorial/page/2/#findComment-1695263 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sach16 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) Hi..all! thanks to err... username mountaineer dude 4 the guide, really appreciated by me, a newbie. Great stuff. I've a question if ya dont mind - I'm encoding a couple of songs at various bit rates lame and ogg to find which is basically the lowest file size that i cant tell from the original. When trying a few ogg encodings to compare to lame, should I use the variable bitrate xxx kbps options or the quality x options? Whats the difference? Also when encoding to mp3 should i use the vbr xxx kbps or the xxx kbps? and whats that alt- preset standard thingymigib? am very confused :( hope someone can help! sach Edited July 23, 2004 by sach16 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/77696-eac-ripping-encoding-tutorial/page/2/#findComment-2542654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
