Re: Fastest MP3 Ripping Program?

Thanks. Is the Lame Mp3 encoder much better (faster, higher quality, etc.) than the one built-in to WMP?

Better... it depends on your preference really. As far as being faster, depends on your computer hardware and how fast cd-rom can rip digital audio as howie See Profile mentioned.
Quality though will vary with the bit rate settings, the higher it is, the longer it will take.

By far, LAME with the --alt-presets is the best. Don't bother with CBR, either. It's pretty obselete in comparison to the --alt presets for any given filesize.

Windows Media Player doesn't have an MP3 encoder built into it. It encodes WMA files. MP3 may be better than WMA at a given bitrate, but many people can't tell the difference.

Re: Fastest MP3 Ripping Program?

Isn't it the other way around?

I avoid the issue by using vorbis....

No, listening tests have not backed up MS's claims that WMA sounds better than MP3 at the same bitrate.

I'm thoroughly confused, but it's good that you use Vorbis (wish my iPod could play Vorbis files).

The latest Windows Media Player 10 for XP does have an mp3 encoder in addition to wma. You can make the change in Tools > Options > Rip Music.
