Audacity -> Lame -> vbr mp3...Grr!!

[joey1211]

Am trying to export a vbr mp3 from Audacity using the lame compressor. There are no vbr options in Audacity so I take it that I need to put a switch (-v) in the lame compressor file somewhere.

I have tried inserting the switch into the .bat file, but the resulting mp3 stays at a constant bit rate of 128.

What am I doing wrong? EAC makes vbr mp3s and uses the same lame compressor?

Anyone?

you have to pass fairly complex command line options to lame for it to work. if there is no such option in audacity, save the file as a wav then process it afterwards?
