#40746 - 08/10/2001 08:09 Gapless encoding with Lame
tms13 old hand Registered: 30/07/2001 Posts: 1115 Loc: Lochcarron and Edinburgh	What's the best way (on Linux) to add the VBR headers to tunes encoded with `lame --nogap`? (Remember that lame 3.89 can't do `-t` with `--nogap`). Does it work to re-encode the MP3 file using `--mp3-input` at the same quality setting? Will this produce the same bitstream, or will it degrade quality further? If nobody knows, I guess I could look at it using mp3x, but I was wondering if anyone else had researched this yet. DoeS aNyBody know of a stand-alone Linux utility to add the VBR header? -- Toby Speight - 040103385 _________________________ Toby Speight 030103016 (80GB Mk2a, blue) 030102806 (0GB Mk2a, blue)

I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know for sure. The general attitutude towards reencoding mp3s is that it will degrade the quality. I don't know how the mp3 input switch works though. You can use mp3trim to add a vbr header. Sean Edited by Terminator on 08/10/01 05:21 PM.

Er, 3.89 is the latest alpha, AFAICT http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=290. Anything newer than that is still in the CVS, which is as good as on the moon given our firewall policy. -- Toby Speight - 040103385 _________________________ Toby Speight 030103016 (80GB Mk2a, blue) 030102806 (0GB Mk2a, blue)

According to http://www.mp3dev.org/mp3/download/download.html, the CVS version is archived daily as http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/lame-cvsroot.tar.gz.
