Audiocatalyst v2.1 is old software, and Xing is one of the worst encoding engines out there! It's quick and nasty. I don't know how many sites have bagged Xing. It all depends on what equipment you listen to your MP3's on though.

Thanks every-1, I downloaded Lame and it does seem alot better (sound quality) and options alot better than the encoder posted on here. Swamper, how about posting this up instead of Electric Cosmo>? This program seems alot btter (faster encoding also). Thanks again every-1 for your help.

Originally posted by flystyler Well i always use musicmatch jukebox, but obviously i need to change, but it is very easy to use, especially the new 6.1 version, and can be used for playing, and recording, so i can use it more multiple things, which saves having about 3 or 4 different pieces of software.

old good threads kick ass!!!

yeah, i use musicmatch jukebox....but now will get lame....musicmatch is so easy to use..and it was my first ripper, encoder whatever....

but i guess it's time to upgrade

>JM<

***EDIT*** ok just upgraded to, and used LAME...and the sound difference is noticeable

I've used them all, and CDex (http://www.cdex.n3.net/) is the best ripper/encoder for Win32. it uses LAME which is the best, by my ears and others.

set the prefs to "r3mix settings", pop in the CD, and click a button. you got your Mp3s.

BTW AudioCatalyst uses Xing encoder, which is very bad. encode something and listen to it with headphones. warped. fraunhoffer is pretty good, but lame is best! take it from me I've done the research.
