--abr 8 and -V0 ? i would say that should obey -V 0 and forget about --abr 8.. (at least it used to be the case with contradictory options).

Anyway, my point was that the Quality entry in the LAME tag was something that was added way back, and that hasn't been reviewed in quite some time. It also used to show values of ~60  for -V 2 , when some comparable CBR option had higher values. It it written by the encoder, and depends on the internal options that the encoder uses ( ath, lowpass filter... etc..)

or: -V 0 --vbr-new
or: -b320

Info to yes10: The quality score stored in the Lame tag (like "97") has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with audio quality, it just indicates which encoding mode (VBR, ABR, CBR, q level) was used. A higher number DOES NOT MEAN higher quality. -B 320 offers the highest quality possible, plain and simple.
