Which encoding method should I use?
You want MP3s that sound exactly like the original CD right? But you don't want the huge files that you get when choosing 320kbps?
Use the advanced options of the online encoding system and select Lame alt preset standard. This encoding method is likely to become the new standard for high quality MP3. It creates MP3s based on the LAME Alt Preset Standard switch that was developed by a group of audiophiles. It was designed to create MP3s that sound exactly like the CD original, even to audio freaks using equipment that cost more than your car.
It uses variable bit-rate (VBR), which makes the bit-rate fluctuate based on the complexity of the music. More complex sections of music get higher bit-rates. Simpler sections are given lower bit-rates, while still maintaining CD quality, to minimize the file size. This way you get files slightly bigger than a Constant Bit Rate 192kb/s MP3 but with a much higher sound quality.
How to:
- Once you have clicked "Order selected songs" a window pops up
-
Now choose MP3 en .standard (~190 kbps) like in the example below.

As you will see there is also an extreme and insane quality. Believe us, this will only produce bigger files. You will not be able to tell the difference in sound quality.
