- Goldwave can NOT handle VBR encoded *.mp3's ???? Lame-Encoder question
- Posted by Peter Hanke on September 27th, 2003
I wanted to increase the volume of a given VBR 163 resp. VBR 244 encoded mp3 file.
For that I loaded the mp3 into GoldWave 5.05. After having performed the
volume operation I saved the edited file and had to recognize that
the VBR encoding was replaced by a lower quality fixed 129 kbps mp3 file.
Why doesn't GoldWave detect the VBR encoding ?
Do I have to enable a certain option ?
I put the newest lame encoder DLL into the Goldwave directory. How do I
find out if Goldwave really use this lame encoder ?
Do I have to switch on explicitely an "use lame" option?

There's really no encoding for GoldWave to detect. The first thing it
does is decode the file to wav so you can work on it. You are right in
that it would be nice to have an option to somehow "re-encode at original
parameters" but I don't believe you'll find that option anywhere in any
wave editor.
Better to adjust the volume (if that is all you are doing) with a tool
that does it without decoding to wav and then having to re-encode the
file at all. Both MP3Trim and MP3Gain (both freeware) will do this for
you, as will some other utilities.

According to the FAQ
http://www.goldwave.com/faq.html#mpeg
you just need to copy lame_enc.dll to the Goldwave program folder.
mp3gain will adjust the volume of mp3s without decoding and re-encoding.
Not only is this much faster than loading into Goldwave and encoding but
it avoids the losses caused by mp3 encoding.

Why not use MP3Gain: geocities.com/mp3gain.
Then you don't have to switch between wav and mp3,
the program changes volume in mp3's.
