Hey, I was wondering if any of you could recommend a good and fast MP3 encoding program(.wav to MP3). I downloaded one but the bugger took over an hour to do a 5 minute track......seems way too long considering I'm on a pentium 200. Don't worry about me copying obscure Autechre mixes and putting them up on my page or anything. I just want to do a couple of my own tracks so ya'll can hear them Rob Codec! http://www.mindstorm.com/codec LogiQ http://www.sinless.com/logiq

It depends on the bandwidth you choose to encode it with. The generally accepted standard is 128k 44khz stereo, which will give you near-enough CD quality. Some people choose 112k. I think 176k is standard CD audio bandwidth. If you want to compromise, then a track will still sound reasonable in 56k 22khz stereo, although your listener needs a decent 16-bit sound card otherwise it will sound a bit hissy. 56k is far from perfect, but as a way of previewing tracks, it's ideal. I've a P200 MMX and it usually takes me about 15 minutes to encode a 5 minute track at 128k/44khz/stereo. The only problem is, if I'm encoding from CD to MP3 then I have to go through MSCDEX drivers, which give clicky sound. If I encode an MP3 from another source, such as tape or vinyl (routed into the line-in of my AWE64), then I get no clicks at all. Let me know when your tracks are available to listen. I hope to put my new ep out as an MP3 playlist/files, completely free of charge to all. Autechre fans should enjoy it. Should have it done soon. /\/)ark

Do you use CD-DA (cd direct audio?) this slurps the digital bytes right off the cd without going through any processing.
