Hi
I will try to answer your questions:

>1. I want to know about "-k " key in preferences of LAME 3.85
>|  This is key to OFF all filters it`ll better with him or not?


You should not use this -k, because, with lower bitrates( that uses -k),
there is not enough bits to encode a frame, so filters encode high
frequencies ( mostly inaudible to our ears) more poorer, so then more bits
are available for lower frequencies(which are audible very good  for our
ears). Using -k will make an mp3 quality more poorer. With higher
frequencies there is enough bits for frames, so all frames are encoded
equaly.

>2. I want rip CD-music at 224 kbps - what a setting is bestest with it?
>|  (255-its so Big)   -h,  vbr-off, Stereo. Right ?

the best settings with LAME would be "Lame -b224 -h -mj".  I am not sure,
but how much I know joint stereo is better than stereo for lame.

>Above 192kbps is much better MPEG 1 or 2 Layer 2.


MPEG-1 layer 3 files are best suited when creating files for higher bitrates
(above 80 kbps). MPEG-2 files are best suited when creating files for lower
bitrates (such as 32-80 kbps). so for bitrates higher than 80kbps you shoul
use mpeg 1 layer 3.

the best settings with lame at at 192 and other constant bitrate
settings(CBR) are (-h and -mj). in this case it would
be:"lame -b192 -h -mj". I am not 100% sure if at higher bitrates it is
better to use joint stereo or  stereo, because I use variable bitrate mode
(VBR), with which joint stereo (-mj) is better to use.

If you want good mp3 at good size use "lame -V 1 -b 128 -h -m j -q1".

Better check out www.r3mix.net for information on encoding, ripping,
settings and so on. Also don't forget to take newest lame beta versions at
http://www.chat.ru/~dkutsanov/~index.htm.

Hi Jaroslav!

[...]

--highpass 0.02 --highpass-width 0.01
   LAME will ignore this, so it makes no sense with LAME's actual filters
   (LAME's highpass filter is not very useful, don't use it, better use
some special tool to prepare your waves for encoding)

*** Lowpass is only for DC bias adjust, is no matter on that


-V7
   this will not give you an average of 192 kbits
   did you mean -V1 ?

*** no, -V7, because quality is enough for tape with that settings. Or use
--abr 144

-v 
   is redundant if you give -V7 anyway

*** ??? why

-q n 
   is meant for internal testing, its behaviour may change from day to day,
   so get out of a habit using it


To answer Alexander's question, using -h will be the best.

*** -q 1 with lame 3.85beta works fine

Ciao Robert

Some notes about your suggested command line:

--strictly-enforce-ISO
   why, do you have some device needing this?
   if not, this could decrease quality

--highpass 0.02 --highpass-width 0.01
   LAME will ignore this, so it makes no sense with LAME's actual filters
   (LAME's highpass filter is not very useful, don't use it, better use
some special tool to prepare your waves for encoding)

-V7

Above 192kbps is much better MPEG 1 or 2 Layer 2.

For cassette:

Before encoding, you should use some phase corrector, see
http://www.chat.ru/~lrsp/

single line:

lame -m j -v -V 7 --strictly-enforce-ISO -q1 -X6 --cwlimit 11.5 --highpass
0.02 --highpass-width 0.01 --lowpass 16 --lowpass-width 1 x.wav x.mp3

or use --abr 144 instead of -V 7

SURE! (but not for <80kbps, here are still better mp3enc31 and l3enc too)
