This is where my friend, Cliff Ravenscraft of Podcast Answer Man, can say, “I told you so,” and ignore our conversation about all of this in his episode 125 in which I defended and explained LAME. It's still free, and this guarantees compatibility and high quality with everything. You can also delete the uncompressed WAV and delete the files from iTunes if you want.Īlthough this is many more steps and leaves a little cleanup behind, it still took only a quarter of the time to use iTunes than to encode directly from Audacity. Search your iTunes library for the new MP3 file, drag it out of iTunes back into your folder, and now it's ready to be tagged and uploaded. Right-click your imported WAV and click Create MP3 Version. Go to the Edit menu (Windows) or iTunes menu (OS X) and click Preferences, click Import Settings… under General, set Import Using to “MP3 encoder,” Setting to “Good quality (128 kbps),” then click OK and OK. But however you drag the WAV into iTunes is fine. I suggest for creating a playlist or smart playlist to hold your new files. In Audacity, go to the File menu and click Export, name your file, change your format to “WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM,” and then click Save.

LAME is terrible at constant bitrate (CBR). LAME versus FraunhoferĪs I explained in more detail in episode 6, LAME is the best MP3 codec for quality, that is, when you use it with variable bitrate (VBR).

Extensive study revealed a few portable digital audio players that have trouble with VBR, and even some minor issues in iTunes.

LAME is still the best MP3 encoder, but further tests and conversations reveal that it just may not be the best for podcasting.
