Hey,

I was waiting for LAME to finish my Orbital discs and started flipping through the online manual when I came across the --new-vbr setting:

Invokes the newest VBR algorithm. During the development of version 3.90, considerable tuning was done on this algorithm, and it is now considered to be on par with the original --vbr-old.
It has the added advantage of being very fast (over twice as fast as --vbr-old).

I've been using this with the --alt-preset standard for a bunch of CD's and it sounds really good, and it's *super* fast. Has anyone else tried this? I'm using the lame 3.91 btw.

later,
ajay
