-V 2 --vbr-new --add-id3v2 --ignore-tag-errors --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tg "%m" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

-V 0 --vbr-new --add-id3v2 --ignore-tag-errors --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tg "%m" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

-b 320 --add-id3v2 --pad-id3v2 --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tg "%m" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

V0 is what "Scene Groups" use to encode.

http://jiggafellz.isa-geek.net/eac/ has a guide on properly ripping CDs and encoding them. Following this tutorial will give you a perfect rip.

both guides worked for me thanks.

but I have a question how do I enter my own bitrates?

I entered this line in the command line; -V 0 --vbr-new --add-id3v2 --ignore-tag-errors --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tg "%m" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d but where do I enter my own bitrates?

The "-V 0" is specifying your bitrate in this case, or rather it is specifying a quality setting that will determine what bitrate you will end up with (220-260kbps according to the excellent LAME documentation here). These so called presets are one of the things about LAME that make it the highest quality MP3 encoder around as they have been extensively tuned to provide the highest quality output, though if you wish to force a bitrate then you can simply replace "-V 0 --vbr-new" with -b <bitrate> where <bitrate> (bitrate in kbit/s) must be chosen from the following values: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, or 320 or replace the "0" in "-V 0" with a lower value, thus retaining the tuned vbr nature of the encoder but lowering the bitrate used. I personally use -V 2 but many people find values as low as -V 5 perfectly acceptable, especially if the resulting files are destined for a portable player.

It's all in this page anyway so browse and learn. I would also strongly recommend using EAC to rip as Sir Phlegyas suggested.

one more question. :/

I can now encode an audio directly through lame command line (CMD) by typing this lame.exe --preset extreme armed.mp3 loaded.mp3. but the problem it doesnt copy the id3 tags. what will I have to add so that it copies the id3 tags as well?

and how can I encode an entire folder or many mp3s? do I have to encode each mp3 seperately?

Just download LameDropXPd and save yourself trouble - http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lamedrop.php

I know you want to do it with command prompt, but unless you're ready to actually read instructions on HA wiki and some other pages, then use something more convenient. Don't know why would you force yourself to use command line anyway.

The reason there is no tag because you did not include add tag command in your switch.

    • Ah so it's not in the .ISO it's self but it changes the definition in the OOBE update during setup?
    • They always have. This just updates what's included out of the box during the initial install.
    • So basically their prebuilding it into the ISOs?
    • Microsoft shares Defender anti-virus update for new Windows 11/10 ISOs by Sayan Sen Following the one for Lumma last month, Microsoft has also published a new Defender update for Windows 11/10/Server installation images this month. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 (Enterprise, Pro, and Home editions), Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0 was released this past week adds threat detections for various backdoor exploits, trojans, among others. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.431.155.0 at the time of writing.
