[mythtv-users] Ripping MP3 in Myth

[Matt Hannan]

Just to wrap this up, it seems that I did not have MAD (now madplayer)
installed.
I had to wrestle with the LibID3tag and LibMAD settings, too. Even went
so far as to rpm --nodeps -e mythmusic and then reinstall mythtv-suite,
but it is now working.

Thanks for your help on this.
One more thing that MythTV is good for!!!

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I have a portable MP3 player that does not
do Ogg.

For MP3 encoding (if you've selected CBR in the setup):

Poor = 128 STANDARD CBR (and forces VBR -> false)
Medium = 192 STANDARD CBR (or STANDARD VBR)
Excellent = 256 EXTREME CBR (or EXTREME VBR)

Don't ask me what the 'STANDARD' and 'EXTREME' presets are.

"Perfect" uses the FLAC encoder, which is lossless, or nearly so.

-JAC

PS- Unless you share your mp3s with other people/devices, I'd consider 
using Ogg instead.  Also, if you have the disk space, FLAC ("Perfect" 
rip) is the way to go.  If you have a FLAC collection, you can always 
transcode tracks to any other format.  This is what I would do, if I 
had the disk space. (As it is, my collection of mp3's & oggs is inching 
towards 40GB).
