That sets the nominal bitrate. What you are seeing is the actual bitrate for sections that don't need to be encoded at 128. In other places it will go above 128. Play your .ogg on xmms and watch the bitrate display. I don't use the -b switch when I encode. I normally just use -q 5. Jan On Tue, 2004-07-06 at 04:19, Atte Andr?
