i felt bad not haveing touched my art project organizer since i’ve been so busy with work, so i took the hour out of my sleepy time to finish building the index pages and finishing the full project view. i spent a few minutes puzzled about why my join wasn’t working when i switched from comma syntax to inner join syntax until after scanning the mysql docs a few times and realizing mysql didn’t support inner joins that took join conditions until recently (v3.23.16).

my first test of lame 3.86b will be the gattaca soundtrack. i’ve decided to tweak my settings a bit:

-h --vbr-old -V 1 -b 128 -m j --add-id3v2

i’ve upped the minimum a bit, sticking to the old vbr code which i’ve been using, but also switching from regular to joint stereo and adding id3v2 tags. less work to do in helium and mp3ext that way. (eac is the last part of my rip/encode setup, in case anyone’s interested)
