I'm not sure if here is where I should post this question but here goes.
I've been using Cdex to rip my CDs and I was wondering about the MP3 Codec it uses. Which is the best MP3 codec and which program uses it?
Also in the settings of Cdex there are some terms with which I am unfamiliar. Can anyone explain the terms and the difference:
MPEG Version (I, II, II.5)
Mode (Stereo, J-Stero, Forced Stereo, Mono)
VBR Method (VBR Default, VBR Old, VBR New, VBR MTRH, VBR-ABR)
VBR Quaity (0 = highest? or not?)
Now this is for the LAME encoder.
I'm sure you guys will just say google it but I have and no site really explains all these. At least none I've found. Can anyone help?
