Questions / Re: Ripping CDs to MP3 at 256/192 bit rates - Older Newbie

« on: April 27, 2022, 08:58:24 PM »

Have now sorted it and ripping new CDs, its quite a learning curve for an old newbie, as so many excellent variables. Trying to sort visual side now so its like media player as like it simple.
Perhaps be good to have a Basic setup quide for Windows Media Player to MB converts, Tagged to top, or perhaps you already have this somewhere.
Many many thanks for all your help     GroovyJohn in Nottingham UK. I am sure I will be back, and make sure I am in the right section.

Thanks for all your input, and will have another go later today by typing in 
 --cbr -b 196 --noreplaygain - [outputfile]   
 --cbr -b 256 --noreplaygain - [outputfile]
--cbr -b 320 --noreplaygain - [outputfile]

but do i then hit reset, apply, save, as per  sveakul s   instructions ? or something else

Have just uninstalled as i got it via Windows site, so downloaded via MB site and codec has Lame on the MP3 section (which i downloaded separately)
All the other codec options are present ie Wave has multiple options, but MP3 is back to same with 3 VBR options and 1 at 320   --cbr -b 320 --noreplaygain - [outputfile]  If I alter this line to 256 as when i do i apply,  then save, then it just defaults to 320 again, most frustrating

Thanks but that reference is far to complected for my elderly brain. I just need to rip to MP3 at 256 if you can suggest the line to put in the box,  cheers

Thanks for info but found all that, and seems to be no other CBR options in settings other than  --cbr -b 320 --noreplaygain - [outputfile]
The  Lame is 3.100.2.0   which is in the box, do i need to do anything else

Questions / Ripping CDs to MP3 at 256/192 bit rates - Older Newbie

Need some newbie advice as been using the outdated Microsoft Media Player for a long time, all my CD are ripped to MP3 format at either 196/256 bit rates as found this and ideal compromise. So just trying to rip my latest CDs via MBee as a test and their seems no option for this. Just (via lamf codec) VBR which is terrible and the higher 352 which takes too much space up. Am i missing something ?  Also while on, how do i get all my Cover thumbnails in a full alphabetical visual grid which i can scan down and down (have 1000s), like Media player. Been at both for hours with no luck, any advice welcome
