[mp3encoder] lame & id3 tags

2007-11-10 Thread Marty
I have a bunch of mp3 files that are already tagged. I want to re-compress them with lame to make the files smaller, but the id3 tags are lost while encoding. Is there a way to retain id3 tags with lame? Marty ___ mp3encoder mailing list mp3encoder

I have a lot of mp3 files that I want to re-compress with lame into smaller mp3s. I want the input name to be the output name with _24 appended to it. How could I use a script to do this in Linux? This is the lame command: lame -m m -b 24 input.mp3 output_24.mp3 Marty

[mp3encoder] conversion from low to high

I'm wondering if by using the following: lame -b 128 --resample 44.1 low.wav high.mp3 if a 96 kbits stream audiodumped to low.wav by mplayer would actually be a higher quality and better sounding mp3 (high.mp3) that would have 128 kbits?

I do have --decode ability and it makes a nice wav file that contains no static. When I resample the wav file at b 24 and 22.05 kHz I get static in the resulting mp3 file. I am using Fedora Core 6 on a Athlon 64 and LAME 3.97 for 64 bit pcs. Marty On Thu, 16 Nov 2006 18:46:58 +0100 robert
