hi

whats the best mp3 encoder that can rip from my audio cd's and get the track info of the net?

what does everyone use?

thanks
 
I use Audiograbber with LAME codec.

I use VBR on setting 4, which gives MP3s typically around 192 average bitrate, but assigns quiet parts lower bitrate and complex parts a higher bitrate. I have some songs as high as 210 kbps, some as low as 67.

MP3s should ALL be VBR as far as I'm concerned, since it makes NO sense giving silence 320 kbps!!!
 
Thanks guys,

I have just been playing with Exact audio copy and lame but I cant find the option for changing the bitrate to CBR To VBR?

seems it needs abit of tweaking
