Thread: LAME and ABR preset

  1. #1

    LAME and ABR preset

    I use LAME with "--alt -preset 128". I would like to try dbPowerAMP but it is not clear how to get the exact same settings.

    I see how to select Lame alt preset ABR, but what settings on the slider would amount to alt preset 128?

    dMC uses the Lame dll, unfortunately that option is not avaliable.

    Thanks. Is there a setting I can use that comes close?

    OK, so I downloaded the PowerPack and Generic CLI in hopes of being able to use "--alt -preset 128" and when I kick off a convert, I get a codec error.

    The only thing I am entering into the command line field is:
    --alt -preset 128

    I gather this is not enough. What else do I need?

    You need [InFile] [OutFile] at the front to pass the filenames.

    --alt -preset 128 should be --alt-preset 128.

    Thanks. I corrected the typo and still have the same problem.
    Here are the steps I took.
    1. Ran Generic CLI Encoder Creator
    2. Entered LAME info (Name, path to EXE, version 3.92)
    3. Right click on MP3 file (I am transcoding from "--alt-preset standard" to "--alt-preset 128" for use on iPod) and select "Convert To"
    4. Select CLI I just created.
    5. dBPowerAMP Music Convert dialog is shown.
    I enter --alt-preset 128 in command line.
    I select a folder for the output. I leave Preserve ID tags checked.
    I press Convert>>
    6. Status box is shown with progress until around 10%, but then another dialog is shown with message "Errors Whilst Converting:". There is a multiline edit box with the following text: (the single double quote at the end is not a typo)
    Codec Error "

    I think you need:

    [InFile] [OutFile] --alt-preset 128

    with a space right at the beginning.

    That's exactly what I use and it works

    Any chance of a hide/show CLI box toggle in the generic CLI options?

    That was it. It worked. Thanks!
