i have been encodding mp3 for a long time and since alot of saturn games are
ISO/MP3 and most of the rips have been done with the shityest encoders and cd
rippers out there i thought id show you a wicked way to encode mp3. So you can
have the smaller rips with VERY minimal loss in quality
--First off is EAC (Exact Audio Copy)
the only Win9*/NT/2K ripper that ensures you that your rips are 100% pop and click
free. Others rippers might be faster, but sound like shit when you listen to your
rip. There are clicks in the music among other things
EAC uses complex reading algorithms, as reading the same data over and over,
to get the best possible copy to wav. If it reads a complete album and reports
that "no errors occurred", you're sure that the rip is clean. When faults
do occur, it'll try to minimize them and signal you where they were detected.
Other programs might read fine for you, but when you read over a scratched cd (or even a normal cd to fast)
they won't tell you that the music you copied might be damaged. Good digital
music starts with good source .wav files.
If EAC doesn't work on your computer, you should try installing an ASPI layer
--Next is Lame
If the highest music quality is your goal, then this should be your encoder.
Is considered to be the highest quality and best optimized VBR mp3 encoder
availabe. Since version 3.60 ~> 3.70 the quality of the CBR encoder has
superceded the Fraunhofer codecs available. Simply put is is the BEST. hehe
--RAzorLame
Win32 front-end for the LAME encoder. Allows you to batch-process the wav ~> mp3
encoding process.
I Hope This Helps the scene  |
