if lame writes a 16 bit crc for every frame (using -p switch), doesn't that mean there are 16 less bits for sound data for each frame? couldn't that affect sound quality? is this getting carried away a little too much? :) On Thu, Oct 05, 2000 at 09:30:23PM +1300, Ross Levis wrote: > -p & -F

Hello... I've been lurking on this list for awhile now and I've really started to become interested in some of the more advanced aspects of lame such as the experimental modes and stuff. Basically what I am trying to get out of lame is the highest possible sound quality short of using 320kbps
