Re: What mp3 quality do you want?

When I record the wav I have sound forge set for mono so there is no second track to remove. I do have audacity but I find sound forge more user friendly.

I use audiocatalyst for converting to mp3, which I think is lame [no pun]. I'll have to go back over the posts to understand what this -q0-v2 thingy is. Thanks.

It seems to me that what we want is for the BBC to throw open their archives and let us make pristine copies from the original recordings (including all those bits they edit out from the broadcast versions).
