this is the point, why i surely think, that it's part of a quality ripping,
simply to put the
- name of the encoder, i.e. "LAME"
- version of encoder i.e. "3.91"
- primary settings i.e. "standard"
- ripper i.e. "EAC" or "cdex140b9"
into the comment field of the ID3 TAGs and have a look that it is
not truncated due to the limited length of that TAG.
btw. cdex offers this feature in its settings and i think all other
tool will have it too.
and as usual, this idea is not really new
if you search for
"LAME r3mix", you will get a lot of results for this
- maybe in future it's "LAME standard"
@bitrate:
i suppose, that since mp3 is coded in frames, that the p2p tools simply
take the bitrate of the 1. frame. if you look in winamp (double click on the
title display) you get an average bitrate.
i really dont know how it gets it. if the first frame is a silent frame, it's
default allowed to code it with a very low bitrate,
regardless the value you set as lowest bitrate.
@search:
i think one, must differ between textual search and search
in download window:
- textual search (in search window) goes after parameters
like titel, artist, comment etc. (maybe there's even a way to search
for the signature, that would be fun - search in download window looks only for signature,
so i'm sure that it's useless to enter some parameters into the dat files.
