0 nomis_nehc Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Heh, by the title I thought you wanted to know how to tell which encoder is used on mp3's. I would've suggested EncSpot, heh, oh well, something for you to know. :) oh yea, Fedr0: whatever happened to your kitty kat pic?

0 Chism Posted July 12, 2002 Author Share Posted July 12, 2002 Thanks username. I take it that you haven't found anybody that knows of a way to change it from joint stereo to full stereo? Yashiro, will you post the one you wrote? Nomis_nehc, thanks for the info! I knew that program was out there, but I forgot the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MxxCon Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 there's absolutely no need for you people to keep using that hacked radium codec. get newest LAME ACM and be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Scorcho Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 better yet, just get the latest version of CDex and use the latest alt-standard presets in LAME using it's built in on-the-fly encoding (no more temp .wav files on your hard disk as the cd is directly converted to mp3 before it hits your Harddisk). for those who don't know what CDex is or where to get it, please go back to your Google 101 class.

0 Chism Posted July 13, 2002 Author Share Posted July 13, 2002 I have CDex installed on my system, but wanted to be able to use the LAME encoder with WMP8 also. What do you do with the LAME ACM? I found the 2-2-2002 version and have no clue as to what to do with it? Are any of the WMP MP3 encoders that Microsoft links to any better than the one from Binks Windows XP site?

0 AJCrowley Esq Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned DBPowerAmp yet. I've had nothing but good experience with it, it's free, and you can choose your codec (my preference is for Lame CBR 224kbit). Cheers, AJC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
