    I don&#39;t mind LAME.....can you use LAME with CDex?
    Yeah you can and if a new version of Lame comes out, you can just download the Lame .dll file and replace the old one in CDex&#39;s main folder.

    The same goes to a bunch of other encoders. [/b][/quote]
    Just PMed ya.....cool...downloading now.

    Actually.....don&#39;t know which one to download.

    Check CDex forum, FC.

    It looks like deja vu&#33;

    Ripping a CD with it now guys.....need to play with it awhile and will get back and let ya know what I think...really do not see a difference in the two.....I mean they use the same encoder.Will take picks of what encspot shows after I rip a CD with CDex and then the same one with PowerAmp.

    Ok.....I have ripped a few songs with both rippers.....useing the same encoders(Lame 3.92) and I can not tell the difference between either one of the songs or the actual CD.That is what is important.....the quality,I still say to each his own...and from what I can tell both are good.

    Let me go to the bathroom and clear the wax out of my ears.....rip 2 whole CDs...burn them to audio and put them on the home stereo cranked up.I still do not think I will hear a difference but you never know.Now remember this is an older man who has been to a few shows in his day and my hearing might be getting bad.....maybe we should have a 15 or 16 year old do a test?

    Whatever you do DON&#39;T use the new Lame 3.93&#33; :x
    I&#39;ve heard that it has some serious quality issues&#33;

    I&#39;ve also heard some people saying that the Fraunhoffer encoder is better than Lame.

    Is it?

    hello DATA ...

    concerning your question about mp3 encoding look here

    it is a german website, but you can "see" the test results of encoding a wave with bladeEnc, lame and the reference frauenhofer encoder (12/1999).

    the result said, that lame and frauenhofer are nearly the same, but with the aspects of price/licence/speed and quality, the lame encoder is favorite.

    If you&#39;re just ripping the audio from a CD for yourself, don&#39;t bother encoding it&#33; Just rip it as a wav and you&#39;ll keep the original CD quality. The LAME encoder just squeezes it down to mp3 size with not much quality loss, but you do lose some nontheless. mp3 format is for filesharing because of its compression:quality ratio, but just copying a CD for yourself should not include further encoding.
