Hey everyone. I recently changed the settings in grip on how lame should encode my MP3's. Since doing this it will no longer encode (whoops). I assumed I could just remove the preference folder for grip and it would go back to it's default settings.

Well, I've removed the .grip folder and the .grip-lame folder from within my home folder. When I open grip every option is changed back to the default... except for the one with the encoding options, which is the only one I wanted to change.

Can anyone tell me a way to put it back to the default setting? Or if someone with the defaults can tell me what it was. I would appreciate it. Thanks.

You just need to tell Grip where to find Lame. In the text box where it just says lame, replace that with /usr/bin/lame and it should encode again.

I've got that part ok. Encoder executable is set to /usr/bin/lame. Encoder command-line is what I want to reset. Mine is currently set to --vbr-new, but was previously set to something like "-h -b %m %w" or something like that.

-h -b %b %w %m

Thank you very much Uk Madman

Always happy to help. Once thing I suggest is to change %b to 192b. %b will give you files encoded at 128kb, which can sometimes sound tinny or clipped. Changing it to 192b will encode the file at 192kb, giving a much better sound.
