I disagree. From a functional standpoint, changing an option to cause it to do the exact opposite of what it once did is confusing at best, and disrupts expected behavior. People upgrading from one release to another will find that their "great" sound mp3s will now be horrid, and their horrid on

I would like to voice my opinion in support for 0=low 9=high. However, reversing the numbers would make -V4 change to -V5 so the default setting will have to reflect this. Ross. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Greg Maxwell Sent: Wednesda

I also think 9 for high and 0 for low is a more natural. Lame has a lot of options, so whoever uses it would know to use it correctly or at least check the usage file. Besides, it seems to me that lame is al about change. - Original Message - From: Jeremy Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[E

Yes, please don't change the current set of options. Rename "lame" if you do something that drastic. :-) Instead, perhaps we could migrate to a new set of options that is easier for novices to understand at the command line. Then we could slowly deprecate the options we have now. This could be
