--> The easiest way to convert WAVs is with: [url=http://members.home.nl/w.speek/all2lame.htm]ALL2LAME[/url] or [url=http://rarewares.org/mp3.html]LameDropXPd v2[/url]
Audiophile geeks have tested these applications for months, so you know it's going to be the best advice. Also, the TMB admin also use and/or recommend the above.
[url=http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/]Hydrogenaudio[/url]* have officially announced a successor to their previoulsy recommended LAME mp3 encoder version 3.90.3.
The recommended version is now [b]3.97 beta 2[/b].
See [url=http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=37574]this[/url] post for details on the 3.97 beta [url=http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/]Hydrogenaudio[/url] recommendation. See [url=http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=28124]this[/url] post for the [url=http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/]Hydrogenaudio[/url] recommended LAME settings.
