Hello Chris!
Already did that. Even cbr 320 gives this "error". It is really
strange as this makes the song sound like played on "regular"
equipment. Those really expensive devices don't have this problem...
and this is what the encoded song sounds like.
Plase read my message one more time. I think I stated clear enough
that ALL mp3s encoded (all with lame, didn't test another encoder as all
the net is stating lame is the best) had this problem, independent of
bitrate or quality/algorithm.
I want this for archiving - saving time and space with more albums on
one CD. In the end they might be restored back to cdda... but I want to
have my music sound about the same on both versions.
From what I see there aren't many options besides mp3 and ogg... things
like Monkey are windoze only.
