MP3-Compressor HELP!
 

offline AphexAcid from Sweden on 2006-11-23 07:40 [#02006684]

Feels as if I've searched the whole net for a compatible
compressor, but I can't find anything!

So could everyone help me with a good freeware
MP3/WAV/whatever-compressor that compresses, for instance,
wav:s to MP3:s in a 192-224 format (or higher), for
instance? (and perhaps mp3:s to wav, etc ...)

Thanks!

Tolstoyed, the one you recommended ("this one works nice for
me") - is it only possible to use it five times, before you
have to pay for it?

(it's this one : LAZY_TITLE

you need the lame encoder, everybody uses it:
http://lame.sourceforge.net/index.php
also you need a 'frontend' for this to make it work, i use:
http://www.dors.de/razorlame/index.php

how does the lame encoder work, in "layman" terms?

you can also use Foobar as a shell for lots of different
command line encoders(mp3,aac,flac,vorbis,speex,wavpack and
others). It can be a bit tricky to set up the parameters at
first but I like how it all works in one program

for the latest lame version go here

there's also a small app you can use as frontend. it's
called lamedrop. it's the most idiotproof way to convert
files (wav/ogg...and possibly even other formats like flac).

latest stable one

I've made a step by step guide that even retards could
probably follow:

Step 1 & 2: Download, Install and run winLAME (download from
here) -> http://winlame.sourceforge.net/download.php
Step 3-> Click the open folder
Step 4-> Select the file(s) you want to encode, OK -> NEXT
Step 5->Select the output Folder, OK -> NEXT
Step 6->Select default, NEXT
Step 7->Select either constant, or variable bit rate and the
quality setings you want (and I always use Q0 under
algorithm quality too), NEXT
Step 8->Click the Play button, they'll encode

done.

It's free BTW. I cannae believe you "searched the whole net
for a compatible compressor" though. I typed "free wav to
mp3 converter", first result is a review site listing all
the freeware mp3 encoding tools.

See the wiki at hydrogenaudio for info on LAME:
LAME wiki.

If you want more info on audio related things, check the
forums at hydrogenaudio, they are ace.

My net's pretty small. :)

Anyway, thanks for the retard-step-by-step-guide.
I'm quite worthless with some programs, so ... :D

I use LAME with the Razorlame interface and it is superb. I
then use "mp3 tag tools" for labelling.

I like it when the best bits of software for a job are free.
