MP3 creation with the LAME encoder
##################################################################################
To save yourself reading everything, just know that with the following applications you can make the best mp3 possible for free:
-->
3.97 beta 2 is the LAME version you need >
download the LAME 3.97 beta 2 bundle from this page**
--> Use the '
-V 2 --vbr-new' switch
--> The BEST way to rip CDs to mp3 is with
EAC. The following three
EAC guides are very good:
------>
Guide 1 - The Coaster Factory
------>
Guide 2 - Essential Ripping Guide
------>
Guide 3 - Teqnilogik
--> The easiest way to convert WAVs is with:
ALL2LAME or
LameDropXPd v2
Audiophile geeks have tested these applications for months, so you know it's going to be the best advice.

Hydrogenaudio are widely regarded as THE digital audiophile site on the web. Most of the audio codec developers are members of the forum, and the information detailed there in stickies & posts, IMO, is the best available anywhere on the internet.
** for converting mp2 files to mp3, you'll need to use the
lame3.97b2exe-fixed.zip compile, as it correctly accepts mp2 input for decoding.
