Title: Looking for VBR 192kbps MP3 Lame.exe command line
Post by: bansheeboy on 2012-09-22 00:45:22
Hi guys, newbie here! 2 part question

1.Just wondering what command line I should enter to rip my cds to VBR 192kbps using version EAC 3.99.5 and lame.exe ?
I read some threads but still a little confused.

2. What settings does this command line that I found, give me:
-V 0 --vbr-new --add-id3v2 --pad-id3v2 --ta "%artist%" --tt "%title%" --tg "%genre%" --tl "%albumtitle%" --ty "%year%" --tn "%tracknr%" %source% %dest%

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You doesn't need to add --vbr-new anymore (since Lame 3.97 or 3.98 is the default) and -V0 is going to give you a higher bitrate then you want. Actually any true VBR mode can give you a different bitrate then you want, but the target bitrate of -V0 is ~245 kbps and not ~192kbps. -V2 is probably what you want (~190Kbps). See the Wiki for more details: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...ncoder_settings (http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Lame#Recommended_encoder_settings)

For tags you can just let EAC do the job, it's the recommended way. If you really want to use LAME, your command line should be sufficient. More information here: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...ame#Adding_Tags (http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=EAC_and_Lame#Adding_Tags)

Ok so how would I type my command line with -V2?
Could someone post a line to copy/paste? Coz the terminology is over my head somewhat

Thanks!!

Well, using EAC to write tags (remember to tick "Add ID3 tag" on EAC configuration) only this should be sufficient:
-V 2

If you really want to use LAME to write tags:
-V 2 --add-id3v2 --pad-id3v2 --ta "%artist%" --tt "%title%" --tg "%genre%" --tl "%albumtitle%" --ty "%year%" --tn "%tracknr%" %source% %dest%

Should work.

-V2 %source% %dest%

Please refer to the EAC/Lame article in or wiki for configuration options.

--vbr-new was necessary for 3.97 but is the default with 3.98. Using the switch with 3.99 will give you an even newer alogorithm.
