Yea, that definitely sounds better.

But - sorry for objecting your work - one thing is strange: the so-generated 
ogg file sounds much better than the one I did before (using -b 128). 
Nevertheless, the new one is a bit smaller in size. Or to put it the other 
way round: "-b 128" gives you less quality at bigger filesizes than "-q 3.5". 
That way I would say the bitrate-management in RC2 was more useable than the 
new one. (Sorry.)

Let me render something clear just once again: I'm admiring the work of the 
ogg vorbis team. I don't want to "complain" at all - I just try to be helpful 
by giving you hints for possible improvements.

Anyway, thank you for the solution for my problem. I will now start again and 
vorbize my whole cd collection.

Thanx again.
