here's a site i use to get lame binaries: http://mitiok.cjb.net/ and another: http://lame.bakerweb.biz/ although that one isn't the latest i guess. there may be better sites too. once you have the lame codec downloaded, the question i have for you is what do you need it for exactly? do you need it to rip CDs? if so, i use it with EAC (the cd ripper) and while a bit complex to setup, its worth it. i rip at 256kbps and unless you have great ears and a great stereo, meaning amazing, you won't notice a difference. i also have a pretty fast system, so i set the quality level as 1. 0 is best and very, very slow, 10 is fastest. i say set it as close to 0 as you can stand. the command is: -q 1 i also use joint stereo. if however, you want to install lame to SS, so it can serve out your stream to anyone outside your house, i would recommend just giving a 128 bitrate limit, if you have a cable connection. what i don't know much about, and maybe someone here does, is if lame writes replaygain tags by default. i assumed it did, but i don't see any replaygain tags in mp3tag at all in my mp3s. its pretty much the last major issue i need to figure out regarding my mp3s, and if i was starting new, i'd like to know for sure how to get good replaygain tags written into my mp3s. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.5.1 (beta!?) - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32038 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
