Keep in mind, some people will have the information sink in so far before it gets thrown off with a new youtube video with that monkey/kitten/person doing something silly. 
Using Lame 3.98.2, I presume?
I was re-encoding my whole library from source files into Lame 3.90.3 --alt-preset standard (alias -V 2), but it was a long needless process. For the time it took me to encode 700~800 files, I encoded 2,000 files with Nero AAC 1.3.3.0, so I begun the process of re-encoding from source files into the new lossy library until that one magical day when I have room for and own 4 x 1tb hard drives to run a Raid 1, or Raid 5. |
I was using the OGG Vorbis aoTuV Beta5.5, for quite a while - but, once I got my Zune 30, I gave up on Vorbis and went back to LAME, for the compatibility (looks like it's 3.98, in Jaunty). AAC is not an option either, for compatibility reasons - not supported on my Cowon D2 or Sansa Clip. My LAME settings are V1, min 64 max 256 - I had considered V0 / max 320, but it seemed like overkill.
I actually use a tool called "gnormalize" to do transcoding and normalization. It all depends on the source files, and how much clipping is present - if the source is bad, I drop the gain a bit or else the transcoded MP3's clipping is even worse.
