<DIV><FONT size=2>I have a hardware mp3 player in my car (RioCar) so I am
thrilled that version 0.12 supports mp3 encoding. I am pretty picky,
however, about how my mp3 files are encoded. I prefer using VBR and have
encoded all of my CDs (pre-Myth) using lame 3.91 with the "--r3mix"
preset. This preset has been replaced by "--alt-preset standard" in newer
versions of lame.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>How can I modify MythMusic to use this preset? I have
looked at the source code and it looks like it is using CBR. There is a
variable to turn on VBR but I haven't yet found (or spent much time looking)
where this variable is set. It would be great if I could specify the
encoding command line via a text file or MySQL, but I am willing to modify the
code and recompile if necessary. It shouldn't be that hard since the
preset is built into lame.</FONT></DIV>
