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 |
- 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. |
