Ogg settings/build type for the Cheapo

Greeting gents, could someone point me in the right direction here.

I want to Transncode (?is that right  ) some MP3 (lame 3.9.1 --preset standard) to Ogg format for use on my P900 mobile.

Here size is the issue not quality. As i am too cheap to buy sony duo stick memory for the phone 

I have encoded using Lame CBR 32kbps, and encoded Using the latest ogg -2 (o.o1 ? besweet program)

For the life of me the Lame mp3 comes out at a lower file sixe than the ogg, while that is no a problen there is a program OggPlay which I prefer using on the P900.

Also CDex seems to be the only software that can do this ok (tried Be sweet and various GUI but no luck) is there anything else

Any suggestions/help

thanks
Cordobes

I guess foobar2000 is useful for transcoding. Just donwload it and try it out, I don´t remember the process step by step, it´s just a matter of setting the target codec and encoding options, loading all the mp3s you want on the playlist, select them, right click and transcoding with the proper option.
I guess you need some vorbis command line encoder in FB2K´s folder for this (check out http://www.rarewares.org/ogg.html )

BTW lame mp3 @ 32kbps is really low quality (even lower transcoding from higher bitrate mp3s), what are you trying to transcode? (speech maybe?).

Thanks for the reply, I have Foobar and have used it to transcode.

I am doing two things;

1. transcoding some of my MP3 collection (lame 3.9.1 --preset standard) simply for listening on the move with my mobile phone. Space on the phone is a BIG issue and since I am on trains and subways etc.. I dont really care for quality as it would be wasted.

2. As you guessed  I am encoding voice. I use audacity to capture internet radio streams of talk shows to listen to later whilts commuting. I know there are possiblly other methods to directly capture a stream to a file, but audacity does it for me at the moment. From audacity I can directly save as an MP3 or OGG or to WAV.

I was led to beleive that OGG would produce smaller file sizes, but I can get smaller sizes with lame. There is not a lot of documentation (in fact none that I have found) that tells you the syntax of the oggenc.exe use. oh and as I mentioned I prefer the OOGPLAY program on my mobile phone, so this has led me into looking at the Ogg format.

--help   

thanks for your time

but wen you trancode to lame at 32kbps it autoresample the file to 16khz or lower, check the samplerate off you 32kbps files, diferent builds or version diferent resamples, you can obtain 32kbps with vorbis  resampling the file to 22050 hz and using q -1
