In the settings of gtkpod at on the conversion you can add the following parameter after the flac2mp3.sh -q<NR> Replace <NR> with the following options 0 Target Kbits: 245 Bitrate range kbit/s: 220...260 1 Target Kbits: 225 Bitrate range kbit/s: 200...250 2 Target Kbits: 190 Bitrate range kbit/s: 170...210 3 Target Kbits: 175 Bitrate range kbit/s: 155...195 4 Target Kbits: 165 Bitrate range kbit/s: 145...185 5 Target Kbits: 130 Bitrate range kbit/s: 110...150 6 Target Kbits: 115 Bitrate range kbit/s: 95...135 7 Target Kbits: 100 Bitrate range kbit/s: 80...120 8 Target Kbits: 85 Bitrate range kbit/s: 65...105 9 Target Kbits: 65 Bitrate range kbit/s: 45...85 Lame will enconded in VBR, no CBR supported for this script. Installation: Go to the gtkpod scripts directory, in my case /usr/share/gtkpod/scripts Make a backup of the convert-flac2mp3.sh file. Run this command : zcat convert-flac2mp3.diff.gz | patch -p1 Peter |
