Quality: (Quote From the Vorbis FAQ)<br>
"For now, quality 0 is roughly equivalent to 64kbps average, 5 is roughly 160kbps, and 10 gives about 400kbps. Most people seeking very-near-CD-quality audio encode at a quality of 5 or, for lossless stereo coupling, 6. The default setting is quality 3, which at approximately 110kbps gives a smaller filesize and significantly better fidelity than .mp3 compression at 128kbps."<br>
<br>
Basically:<br>
* 2 is "Fast"<br>
* 3 is "Good"<br>
* 4 is "Best"<br>
* 5 is "Near CD Quality"
 
Anything above 4 only a serious audiophile could possibly tell the difference.
 
The bitrates are in BITS per second, so if you want 192 kbps, you have to type "192000".
