Problem with mp3 ISO Compatibility encoding

[carpetemporem]

I have R14 and the newest releases of everything installed.

My settings for mp3 are: VBR -V2, Encoding Slow and Force ISO Compatibility.

For the ripped files Winamp and Foobar show CBR with 32K. Foobar immediately aborts playback when you try to jump to another location in a file.

Any mistakes on my side?

Why do you need Force ISO?

Re: Problem with mp3 ISO Compatibility encoding

Because I have trouble playing mp3 in my car's player.

Is there an inherent problem in ISO compatibility?

And by the way: it's the default setting. Took me a long time to figure out that it works by disabling that.

It would not be on by default, try a CBR setting, which is more suitable for the force iso switch.

Re: Problem with mp3 ISO Compatibility encoding

In my case it was on. Perhaps because I installed over R13.

I had nasty problems with dynamic naming in R13 and never got an answer nor a bugfix. So I stopped using dbpoweramp. Now I bought the new R14 and most of the bugs are still there after 2 years and a new major release. But that's another thread.

If I understand you correctly for this issue, there's another bug in dbpoweramp and mp3 encoding with enforced ISO compatibility produces corrupt files.

Or is it a bug in lame so the VBR with ISO compatibility enforced doesn't work?

Or is it a technical issue so that it can't be done at all?

If so, the options should cancel each other out!

Re: Problem with mp3 ISO Compatibility encoding

You have two conflicting options set.

Re: Problem with mp3 ISO Compatibility encoding

Spoon, I come from software development in huge projects.

If two options are conflicting then it's the job of the software to forbid that.

Or you can't drive your Mercedces-Benz in the future because you ordered it with two conflicting options, my software didn't forbid that and now it's your problem?

My critics don't mean to insult but to improve.

And I'm very critical because my customers are too. And they are right because they pay their money to me to produce good software!
