Encoding MP3s

Software used: lame

command:

lame -h -b 128 --tt "Song Title" --ta"Artist" --ty "Year" --tc "Ripp and encoded by Me" --tg "Genre"audio.wav audio.mp3

## Encoding mp3 at constant bitrate of 128 kbits. To encode mp3 at VBR, use this command:
lame --alt-preset extreme audio.wav audio.mp3

## there are other --al-preset options. See 'lame --help'. Still not really sure if I should encode using VBR or CBR. Haven't read enough. Read one person's view who likes VBR and the next who said that VBR sucks.... go figure. I can't hear the difference. As long as my dear Ipod can play the song.
