Perhaps the 'disputants' might care to take a look at a new front end for
Lame, available from
http://www.geocities.com/enlamer/
This has many of Lame's options in the one large user dialog, but I suspect
it will confuse the novice user (and it seems to be able to handle only
single files at present); perhaps it is time for someone who fully
understands all the options/switches to settle down and write a
comprehensive 'Help' file for Lame, - I doubt many who use Lame with a
front-end or ripping utility bother to read the 'Usage' file that
accompanies the exe file and I don't think users of the dll file even see
it.
Roel's site is certainly a good guide for achieving optimal performance with
music - but there are other uses, eg voice recording, not touched on there,
and only barely mentioned in the 'Usage' file.
