There is a bit of redundancy in the arguments, but it works very well for me.

Just out of interest, how long does lame take to encode files using your settings? (and what spec is the machine?)

I just find it hard to believe that on my 300MHz P2 (with 384MB RAM!) lame is still estimating 40 minutes to encode a 6 minute .wav - admittedly it's running Win98SE, but even that can't be the problem!!

I know about the reported problems with Audiocatalyst, but it ripped and encoded a CD faster than the playing time. EAC & lame (at the minute) is taking about 5 hours to do one disc... it's getting to be an overnight job to rip a couple of CDs!!

I must be doing something very wrong!
