I have figured it out. I actually had a two-fold problem. The first one, was exactly what Brendan said. The second one, was that I was setting the compression and the bitrate. Well, the compression essentially trumps the bitrate so that was it. Thanks again Brendan.
Also, when I am finished the code, I will try to get some sourceforge space for it. I will, of course, GPL the code. -David On Thu, 2003-06-19 at 09:17, David Butler Jr. wrote: > Thanks a lot, I will give it a try and post the results back. > > -David > > On Wed, 2003-06-18 at 22:52, Brendan Cully wrote: > > > That was supposed to read, you should call lame_init_params after > > lame_set_brate, not before. > > > > On Wednesday, 18 June 2003 at 22:43, David Butler Jr. wrote: > > > No. I actually do all initialization in the constructor of my main > > > window. > > > -David > > > > > > On Wed, 2003-06-18 at 22:31, Brendan Cully wrote: > > > > > > > On Wednesday, 18 June 2003 at 22:28, David Butler Jr. wrote: > > > > > I am currently coding a project for the Creative Nomad IIC mp3 player. > > > > > Essentially will allow you to re-encode an mp3 to a lower bitrate than > > > > > it is stored on your hard drive and download that re-encoded mp3 into > > > > > the nomad player.
