Directory to store Determines the directory in which the Wave files are saved
ripped [WAV] files
- Encoder Determines the settings for the encoding:
Select encoder Select desired encoder software; you can choose between the Lame
Encoder (a good, fast encoder) and the Dialog Medien Encoder (you
should only use this if you have problems with Lame) You can also
install a different make of encoder as an external encoder. For this you
will have to enter the path to the program and various command line
arguments.
Select Bit rate Here you can determine the bit rate (between 32 KBit and 256 KBit).
The higher the bit rate, the better the quality – but also the larger the file.
Mono/Stereo Here you can switch from mono to stereo encoding. The default setting
is stereo. If you would like to reduce the amount of data or encode
speech, you can switch to mono. The amount of data will then be redu-
ced by a half.
Downsample to 22 kHz Here the sampling rate (see glossary) can be reduced to 22 kHz.
Delete wave files Here you can determine whether the original .WAV files on your hard
after MP3 is created disk are automatically deleted after they have been encoded.
Use external encoder Here the encoder of another supplier can be implemented as an exter-
nal encoder. In this event you must define a path to the program and
enter various command-line arguments.
- Ripper/CD ROM
Default filename Here you can determine the provisional name of the ripped wave files;
the tracks on the CD will be consecutively numbered (e.g. from wave-
dump1 to wavedump14). It is important to be able to change the default
name if you want to rip more than one CD at one go and the files are
to be saved in the same directory. By altering the default name you can
prevent the music tracks from the first CD from being overwritten.
