View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif Especially considering that filename and length are pretty much all it'll have to go on, without the TOC info from the CD.īTW, I think I'll link back to this thread that XaiaX and sonik and I wound up turning into a rather nice discussion of audio compression format testing methodologies. I don't know how you mean to look up song info for actual already-encoded MP3s in CDDB automatically, or if you just worded your request poorly. If you grab the album info off freedb with a simple click on the CD Info button before ripping, you can easily configure it to generate filenames and directory names and ID3 tags (v2, v2.4, whatever) automatically, based on the album info. (1) getting info on a single MP3 (or a batch of them) from CDDB or freedb, and suggesting a tag based on it,Īnd (2) the ability to rename filenames based on the tag.įor the last time, you don't need a tagger with EAC. If an mp3 is ripped using VBR, the track time will seem to jump around.įor the tagger, what's a good program to use that retains the same functionality? By functionality, I mean

It is wonderful to be able to rip a stack of CD's with full ID3 info in under an hour! Also it has very easy to use tag editing functions and flexible file naming ability.įirst, I want the track play time to be displayed properly.

Plus it automatically downloads and enters ID3 info from the CDDB (CD Database). I own a registered copy, so I am able to rip most CD's at greater than 8x. MMJB also has many other features that make it a must for me. Since scalfaq (IIRC) doesn't work properly above 16 or 17Hz, you've also replaced actual music with huge amounts of worthless data or been forced to up the biterate (try this with LAME VBR and see what happens, bitrate usally jumps 20+ KBps PER KHz you add to the filter). I suppose actually reading the docs would be too much work for our reviewer.īy setting the Maximum Bandwidth setting to 22khz, I see high frequency roll-offs very close to that produced by Lame. Wah? Did he even use Lame? It says the filter settings plainly as you encode.īut not only that, you can use whichever ones you want! I believe that the Lame encoder just processes mp3's with the maximum bandwidth possible. View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif Well I too have run some tests using the spectrum analyzer functionality of Sound Forge and did not see the same results.Ĭlearly spectrum analyzers are the correct tool to judge the accuracy of a pychoacoustical model. Of course this deviates from one of the original "ideas" behind mp3 which was "throw out what we cant hear."

By setting the Maximum Bandwidth setting to 22khz, I see high frequency roll-offs very close to that produced by Lame. What this does is include frequencies in the upper part of the sound spectrum which are above most peoples hearing ability. I think this is where the Lame encoder has gotten so much attention. In this window there are two settings which are very important to MP3 audiophiles. But for the interim I would suggest that you try encoding mp3's using MMJB the way that I present here and then compare the results to Lame your self. I currently do not have that data ready for presentation, so for now you will have to take my word on it. As a matter of fact, the roll off of high pitched frequencies were almost identical between MMJB and Lame. Well I too have run some tests using the spectrum analyzer functionality of Sound Forge and did not see the same results. This opinion has primarily founded on the technical documentation displayed at the site. The buzz for the last to years has been that nothing approaches the sound quality of the two tear method of using Exact Audio Copy along with Lame Encoder to produce mp3's. Ran across this piece, which essentially claims that there is no real difference between MusicMatch (which uses the latest Fraunhofer codec) and LAME.
