RE: Sunday HA Session

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

"oops" :)

VBR is Variable bit rate, which uses the appropriate amount of bandwidth
to
accurately encode the music... so a very simple passage of the music
will
only take 120kbps or so, whilst highly detailed passages get the extra
detail required to describe them accurately...

LAME is an encoder application (a codec) which is massively
configureable
using command line switches. I think most MP3 users agree that LAME
produces
the best sounding MP3s (although there is  much debate on the
settings)

"reference settings" is a shorthand way of making LAME choose a
set of
options which are generally regarded as a fine trade-off that won't
have
golden ears people howling, or have those of us handling storage tearing
our
hair out either...

Ok ok as per usual you 'old timers' and 'experts' have left me standing
in your trail of dust! Could some one explain:

VBR, reference settings, LAME...

and what I need to achieve these settings.

Many Thanks
Rob
