It is much faster, and creates better quality mpegs. I use 'lame -V 1 -b 128 -h -m j -q1 infile.wav outfile.mp3' Which is fairly slow, if you stick to CBR (vs VBR) and turn off HQ mode you should be able to make it go substantially faster though. If you are running -current you can do dd if=/dev/acd0t1 bs=2352 | lame -r -x -V 1 -b 128 -h -m j -q1 - track_01.mp3 Which is pretty neat ;) --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
