lame 3.96.1 and eac 0.95b2

I'm sorry I am a noob. How do I exactly use the presets? I can't seem to find it. And is EAC the best ripper out there?

If I this is right, I should put in the additional command line options is one of these commands?

ID3v1:
--alt-preset standard --id3v1-only --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

ID3v2:
--alt-preset standard --id3v2-only --pad-id3v2 --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

ID3v1 and ID3v2:
--alt-preset standard --add-id3v2 --pad-id3v2 --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

APEv2: (requires wapet.exe)
%d -t "Artist=%a" -t "Title=%t" -t "Album=%g" -t "Year=%y" -t "Track=%n" -t "Genre=%m" lame.exe --alt-preset standard %s %d

(You can change --alt-preset standard to any setting/preset you'd like to use)


And I should change the --alt-preset standard to --alt-preset insane?

So If I chose ID3v1 and ID3v2, I should put --alt-preset insane --add-id3v2 --pad-id3v2 --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d to the additional command line right?

And this new switches, added in 3.95.1 does it come in 3.96.1?

What is the highest settting? -V 0 right? And "-V 0" is all I need to put in the Additional Commandline switches?

Unless you fall outside of the bell-shaped curve of HA listeners, "--alt-preset standard" will work well for you.

-V 0 would just replace the --alt-preset standard part, so:

-V 0 --id3v2-only --pad-id3v2 --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

-V 0 is basically --alt-preset insane, while -V 2 is basically --alt-preset standard.

As boojum says, --alt-preset standard is very likely to be perfectly adequate for you.  Try encoding a few songs from different genres at -V 0 and -V 2 and see if you can tell the difference.  I can't.

Considering your quoted commands I would suggest that you use:

-V 2 --id3v2-only --pad-id3v2 --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

Thanks. And --alt-preset standard is VBR right?

Just got my 60gb 4G iPod. Would be useful to have high-quality mp3s.

I know its off topic but why not use iTunes AAC [using EAC with ottos iTunesEncode] I find that 128k setting perfectly fine for my ears and I don't waste as much space as i would by using preset standard. It's just a suggestion

Thanks. Btw, what are these tags for --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d?

lame 3.96.1 and eac 0.95b2

All items beginning with a % are EAC placeholders.

The first part:

--ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n"

is used to set the tags - e.g.: --tn "%n" will set the tracknumber from the EAC placeholder %n.

%s is the path to the temporary wave file EAC creates (the source), and %d is the path to the destination file.

-V0 is --(alt-)preset extreme. -b 320 is --(alt-)preset insane.

Apologies.  Yes.  I always get those two mixed up.

Many thanks for clearing up my mistake.

Out of curiosity (I don't use MP3), is there any difference between --alt-preset standard and --preset standard?

if your using LAME version 3.95.1 or greater then use --preset
otherwise use --alt preset
all they have done is change the naming format
