Lame settings for Audible AA files

November 6th, 2005 · No Comments · Music

formats

So the best mappings appears to be these settings from afterdawn

Audible Format Audible Khz
Format 1 Mono 8Kbps proprietary
Format 2 Mono 16Kbps proprietary
Format 3 Mono 32Kbps proprietary
Format 4 Mono 11KHz 32Kbps CBR MP3 format wrapped by Audible DRM

Many folks by the way are using Goldwave and MP3PO from Nerdex to do this. It was designed to take big MP3 files and split them. I probably will keep using MP3Directcut for this mainly because I know how to use it.

Given this, the right setting would seem to be format 4 and then the lame settings would be given the many lame switches

_lame -m m—highpass 11—mp3input -abr 32

However, if you are using DBPowerAmp, its interesting to note that if you don’t supply any parameter at all (!!!), it appears to work about right. Somehow the thing figures everything out and you have about the same length .mp3 as .aa. Wow!
