those signed herein propose that a quality standard of
--alt-preset standard
using the currently recommended lame compile (by developers/hydrogenaudio.org) become the new high-quality standard of the mp3 scene. the benefits of vbr over cbr regarding the ratio of quality to size are now abundant using this compile. this benefits both the end user and the siteop. since it is now commonly known that vbr far outweighs cbr regarding disk usage, bandwidth, and quality, vbr uses a sites resources to its fullest potential. the end user who uses a portable device or a personal computer also benefits from having the smallest possible file size (given the sample complexity) at the highest possible quality. the only true concern regarding vbr was the lack of zipscripts that support it, but this is no longer the case since zip scripts have been created that fully support vbr. note that vbr is _STILL_ a .mp3 file, it just uses different settings than the previous standard.
this current recommended compile of lame can be obtained at the following url:
* http://rarewares.hydrogenaudio.org/files/lame-3.90.3modified.zip (this zip includes both lame.exe and lame_enc.dll)
while eac remains the recommended ripping software, we do not propose that it become a standard due to hardware conflicts and limitations of some drives.

for those that wish to encode to mp3 after ripping the entire cd, razorlame is recommended. razorlame is a gui front-end for lame that works on windows platforms.

for a complete guide on the encoding with the alt-presets and VBR overview peep the following url:
