Hi Shen, Lyn, Erik, and Others,
Yes, I should have replied to your post on MP3, but I think I missed
it in the deluge of posts from the viphone list at the time. You can
click to change this setting in the GUI interface after routing your
mouse cursor to this selection. I'm sure you can also do this by
pressing the trackpad button, clicking a mouse, or by pressing "5" key
on the numeric keypad with Numpad Commander enabled. I bet you can
also do this with Daniel's trick of holding down any of the arrow keys
and pressing the number in the top row of numbers to get the
corresponding Numpad Commander function, but I haven't tried this.
If I rip to high bit-rate MP3, I usually use the LAME encoder, and an
iTunes plug-in, but Shen's solution of clicking with the mouse after
routing to the bit-rate selection in the iTunes menu for importing
should work. I'll point to one of my archived posts on the LAME
encoder and the download of the LAME plug-in for iTunes. I don't know
whether this still works for Snow Leopard. Also, the Mediafire link
is one of those download sources where you may not be able to download
if you try at peak times and are not a paid subscriber.

(Re: A question about max and musicbrainz)
You'll note that in that (February 2010) post I mention that I can
click the buttons to rip to an MP3 file at a higher bit rate in iTunes
by using VO-Shift-Space. I don't know whether anyone else on this
list uses the LAME 3.98 iTunes plug-in to rip to MP3 files. This is
one of a handfull of replies which appear to fall into black holes,
and I never know whether anyone has used the response.
HTH
Cheers,
Esther

Hello,
I put a shout out to the list last week with the same problem but no
one responded.
As far as I can tell, you cannot change the bitrate using the
keyboard. I think it's a bug in iTunes, not VoiceOver.
I have been able to change the bitrate if I put the VoiceOver cursor
on the bitrate I want, then put the mouse over it, and perform a mouse
click using VO-Shift-Space Bar.
This seems to do the trick. It works, just annoying and a hassle.

Thanks Eric, will go and look out for the max program and give it a
shot
then. Thanks for that.

This happened to me. I put a shout out to the list but got no
definitive
solution. Being a serious ITunes detracter to begin with I
abandoned the
attempt and switched to max. It's a better ripper anyway and if you
really want to you can import to your ITunes library using max.

Hi everyone,
I have a quick question if anyone could clear things up for me
here. I
am having problems changing the bit rate in I-tunes. I would
like to rip
my CD's at 320 KBPS but whenever I set that option i n I-tunes, the
settings never take effect after applying the changes. What am I
doing
wrong here? I managed to set i-tunes to rip at 192 KBPS but why
can-t I
rip at 320? There must be something that I am doing wrong here
and for
the life of me can't figure out what it is.
Thanks for your suggestions.
