I believe that the Lame encoder just processes mp3's with the maximum bandwidth possible. What this does is include frequencies in the upper part of the sound spectrum which are above most peoples hearing ability. By setting the Maximum Bandwidth setting to 22khz, I see high frequency roll-offs very close to that produced by Lame. Of course this deviates from one of the original "ideas" behind mp3 which was "throw out what we cant hear. I guess the question is - are these MP3s he's comparing the same size?
Well, for one thing, he doesn't seem to say what options he used when encoding with lame. It's generally acknowledged that all the newer alt-presets are higher quality than r3mix, with the higher alt-presets being substantially better with accompanying larger file sizes.
Not at all. Clearly spectrum analyzers are the correct tool to judge the accuracy of a pychoacoustical model. Did he even use Lame?
It says the filter settings plainly as you encode. But not only that, you can use whichever ones you want! I own a registered copy, so I am able to rip most CD's at greater than 8x. It is wonderful to be able to rip a stack of CD's with full ID3 info in under an hour!
Also it has very easy to use tag editing functions and flexible file naming ability. Which EAC does. For free. If an mp3 is ripped using VBR, the track time will seem to jump around. Feb 17, 6, 1 0. Frankly, I can't tell the difference. Agent Senior member. Mar 22, 0 0. Lame is a codec:Q I always thought it's an encoder. I know mp3 is a codec, owned by Fraunhofer. Also when people say the lame is better than Fraunhofer, it means lame is a better mp3 encoder. JeremiahTheGreat Senior member.

Truth be told, anyone distributing LAME binaries exe or dll is infringing on Fraunhofer's patents if the patents apply to the person's home country. They continue to improve their algorithm and are generally considered to have the benchmark encoder. A demo of an older command line encoder can be found here. For this test I used Audioactive Production Studio v1. Note that the Audioactive Production Studio does not have a kbs encoding option. The Xing encoder is one of the most popular encoding engines because of its speed.
AudioCatalyst is what I used for this test. Blade or BladeEnc is a freeware encoder by Tord Jansson. Jansson set out to write Blade in order to increase the processing speed of the reference code while preserving audio quality. There are several front ends for the Blade encoder, e. The source code is available under the LGPL license. For this test I used Bladebatch with BladeEnc. Source code is still available, and the BladeEnc. I used one previously that would only do up to 56 K or 48 K or some other low bit rate, but was free.
It really wasn't much of a contest between the two, LAME was a hands down 5 second comparison winner, even when the encoding was adone at the same level. Is Fraunhofer giving away a better one free now? This was around 4 years ago though, so I'm sure a lot has changed.

Also did you notice any difference between using the "fast" tag or not it may not be available for -api? Don't know many specs about it, though it does go to kbps and has an ABR option and 10 Hz filter.
