The following command will generate flac files with the defaut compression level of 8 and mp3 files with a constant bitrate of 320 kbps. The album will be designated as an LP by the "-l" switch and the generated mp3's will be copied to the directory "D:\My Music\Artist\Various Artists". Since the artist name of "Various Artists" is used the "-A" switch is not needed and the script will automatically recognize the album as a compilation, extract the artists names for each track from the tracknames in the "info.txt" file and flag the ablum as a compilation with the compilation id3 tag.

J:\Raw Audio\Various Artists\Debut LP Magazine\Debut LP Magazine - Issue 02\WAV>encode.pl -lfmc 320 -P "D:\My Music\Artist\Various Artists"
