Creating Mp3

[Warrent]

I would like to create some mp3 files.  I do not know anything about creating mp3, therefore something that is simple to use would be nice.  What would be recommended or should I just forget trying to do it?

"What machine are you using ?

If its x86 then use DbPowerAmp..."

4000/060.  Still waiting for my XEG4:-)

"It's not a fast process, on an 060@50MHz, it takes approx 1 hour to
encode a typical song. You can run many copies of LAME at the same
time, so just set up lots of seperate encodes and leave it running
overnight."


Thanks for the tip.

"Bloody hell ... 1 hour for ONE song I love Amiga as much as the next guy but the ANCIENT bx system I'm running here typically encodes 1 song in about 75 seconds !!"

I am not sure, but I am now coding a song that is about 3 mintues. It has been about 7 mintues and Lame is saying it is 25% done??

Next ?  Without me looking over the docs, can I code more than one song in the same shell?

"1 Hour LOL takes here about 12 secs to encode a 4 min song to mp3/ogg/wma directly from cd."

Humm then you could do about 300 in an hour!!

Oh, where is my XEG4?? I am not sure how much faster it will be, but it will be better than one song per hour I hope.

"You can run more than one of anything in a shell by sticking "run"
in front of it.

EG:
run lame insong.aiff outsong.mp3

That will spawn a new process for each task."


Yes, I do know about that.  I was wondering if there was something in the command line of Lame.  Like Lame xxx.file, xxx1.file, xxx2.file ect. and then each of those files would be coded?  I don't see that, so I can use the run and enter the next file.

Thanks,
