but like I always say, unless you must use MP3, it's best to use either AAC or Opus at this point in time since they give you better quality at lower bit rates as if your using high bit rates, say around 190kbps (or more), it does not really matter what lossy format your using. you want to use a minimum of LAME v5 (130kbps) and to be safe try LAME v2 (190kbps). so unless you got a boatload of music to convert, it takes a minimal amount of ones time. MP3/AAC/Opus etc) it will be nice and simple as a typical album would convert in no more than about 1 minute on most CPU's still in use. if possible, I would suggest keeping a copy of your music CD's in FLAC format as this way in the future when converting to another lossy format (i.e. although you can use Foobar2000 but EAC is safer for ripping CD's. but as far as getting your FLAC files from say a original audio CD in the first place, I would probably suggest using EAC (Exact Audio Copy). Track Name Here" and then put those into a folder in relation to the album title (for example, "Artist Name - Album Title (2010)" (with "(2010)" being the year of release of that particular album)) etc.įoobar2000 is my general 'go to' program for converting FLAC to MP3/AAC/Opus etc. " section) as I usually have mine appear like "01. but one may want to tweak the 'destination' info a bit (which you will see once you enter the "Convert >.
Linux best mp3 encoder windows#
just add your lossless files into the active window (a simple drag and drop from Windows Explorer into the Foobar2000 window will work) and then select them (left click a file, hold CTRL (or shift to select a bunch), click what you want to select what you want to convert) and then right click and select 'Convert' and the rest I don't expect you to have much trouble figuring out. That gives you the newest LAME encoder which seems to be the standard for encoding MP3 files. you can't really go wrong with that as, while I don't know for sure, I would imagine Foobar2000 is one of the more popular general audio playback/conversion programs on Windows based PC's in general as it's simple and effective. Quote best mp3 encoder with something better than a command line interface?įoobar2000 with the Foobar2000 'Encoders Pack'. Just get a GUI calling fastenc for you, if that's what you're after. I believe the "best" MP3 encoder in terms of perceived audio quality, is fastenc from FhG, but I might be wrong, I haven't looked at any ABX test for quite some time. one that either calls the command line program (and there's tons of those, as this is often a programming exercise for novice programmers), or simply uses libmp3lame internally (this is by far the standard). Your question doesn't really make sense, but given what I've explained, and that LAME is kinda the best encoder over all (including availability, etc.), I'd suggest get a GUI for LAME. Things like foobar either use libraries or call encoders, too.
Many graphical encoders (which I assume you mean by the term "better"), either use the command line program by calling that underneath, or using whatever encoding library directly.
Command line encoders like lame are really just interfaces to the library libmp3lame.
