pepsi_max2k Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 this is a copy of a message i posted on the razorlame website, i figure maybe you lot might know more about it. it's just about my problems trying to transfer, to md, an mp3 i encoded using the LAME codec and razorlame front-end... apparently lame's kinda good and stuff, so i'm finally using it instead of nero to make mp3s . so there i am with razorlame cos it's simple for simple people, and i set it for 96kbit and mono and leave the rest cos it looks confusing like, and i hit encode. all goes fine, i've got a lovely little mp3 of a live recording of sleeper playing inbetweener at oxford or somewhere posh, and it sounds lovely. then i go into real player to transfer it to my minidisc (using their atrac sony plugin thing) and then it says it refuses to let my portable music player actually portate (um...) my music. something to do with it being the wrong file type. only thing i can see different from it than any other mp3 i've ever transfered onto it is that it says it's mpeg layer 2.0 instead of mpeg layer 1.0 . so after scratching my head a little i use the "--alt-preset standard" command and other than changing it to variable bit rate (obviously changing the bit rate higher than 96) i see nothing different from the other one, but it'll go onto my minidisc no problem . ( I also tried making one using --alt-preset cbr 96 and it did the same as the first try, real said no no no ) so what's up with that? i figure if it was the layer 2 then it wouldn't work for either, and if it was it not being vbr then none of my other mp3s should work. maybe it only likes mono vbr files. maybe it's just being a little shi... EDIT: i've had a look through previous posts, and i think they say i should only be able to transfer files at 128kbit / 44khz and above, but i've transfered 96kbit fils in the past and the vbr file i tiried above (which worked) is 22hz.

Christopher Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Has to be 44hz; if you do not get an answer here please try hydrogenaudio.org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
