[Abcde-users] abcde using LAME options different from LAMEOPTS

[Bruce Albert]

This is abcde v. 2.9.3 running on ubuntu linux 20.04.

the LAMEOPTS line in .abcde,conf says:

LAMEOPTS='-m j -V 0 -q 0 --vbr-new'

But what I see in mediainfo run on a file ripped with it is:

-m j -V 0 -q 0 -lowpass 22.1 --vbr-mt -b 32

That isn't what I asked for.  Ripping the same file with RipperX produces:

-m j -V 0 -q 0 -lowpass 22.1 --vbr-new

which is what I wanted.

And yes, the spectrograms on the files are slightly different.

This is NOT a question about whether it matters or why; what I want to know is why abcde isn't doing
what I ask for, and is there some option I have failed to set so that it will use the options I specify?

Thanks.
