  "not what you're looking for"

  by hmazuji on August 23, 2006

  Pros: didn't freeze up my system and i didn't have to resotore the operating system

  Cons: didn't do anything. something kind of command line flashed open and then closed. i couldn't find it to run it. not in the installed software list. want to convert audio cds to ogg, and don't think this program is what i'm looking for.

  "Preferable to MP3"

  by william2012 on February 28, 2008

  Pros: Used Lame for a while, but the MP3 player stopped recognising MP3 files. Whilst this was an annoyance at the time I discovered that it recognised Ogg files, thus the conversion began.

  I use this in conjunction with Exact Audio Copy and the results are excellent. Much more versatile than MP3 and Open Source. If you want to know about bit rate etc see "Filter's" review above.

  Cons: So far nothing and I doubt that I ever will find anything that bothers me. Anything less than five stars would be an injustice.

  One possible gripe is that you have to know how to use this and research is required, but all that was worth it for the outstanding results.

  "Ogg Vorbis rules .. get it"

  on July 5, 2002

  Summary: Most people will be happy with MP3 but now they want better quality, better bitrate, and thus bigger filesizes. There have been some alternatives introduced to offer the quality people desire at lower bitrates, i.e. decent bitrates around 128-160K... read more >>
