To be honest I haven't really kept up with LAME, though it appears that a rather impressive amount of work has been done on it.
In iTunes I recommend using VBR with a "maximum quality" setting which gives the encoder the most freedom to go up in bit rate as PE demands. The bit rate you choose is the minimum- I personally like 160. I also suggest you give AAC a try! -Bill on 10/21/03 11:50 AM, Richard Brockie at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Bill Kincaid said: >> Don't bother.
