[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 786815] Re: [wishlist] add support for LAME presets on CD ripping

[knkillname]

@Kamus I think this bugs are not related. The one you are referring to
appeals to the experienced users who already encode mp3 comand-line
style (and know AVB, CBR, ABR, ID3, ID3V2, KBPS, "lowpass filter",
"replay gain"  and other tech-words). On the other hand, this one
appeals more to "human beings" by simplifying the UI with four well-
tested presets (see http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=LAME
).

The presets description are well written in plain understandable English:
Medium: "This preset should provide near transparency to most  people  on most music."
Standard: "This  preset  should  generally be transparent to most people on most music and is already quite high in quality."
Extreme: "If you have extremely good hearing and similar  equipment,  this preset  will  generally provide slightly higher quality than the standard mode."
Insane: "This preset will usually be overkill for most  people  and  most situations,  but  if  you must have the absolute highest quality with no regard to filesize, this is the way to go."

Also, just let me point out that this requirement is easy to implement:
Medium, Standard and Extreme presets are aliases for 5, 7 and 9 in the Banshees VBR quality setting.
The Insane preset is obtained by a constant bit rate of 320Kbps.

Title:
  [wishlist] add support for LAME presets on CD ripping

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  LAME defines four MP3 encoding presets: medium, standard, extreme and
  insane. As documented in LAME man page, this presets are meant to be
  future-safe and transparent to the end user (no need for "AVR" or
  "kbps" technobable). This presets should appear in the LAME
  configuration dialog of Banshee. Also, the "Standard" preset should be
  set to default: it is designed to be both high quality and small
  sized.
