My OperaEar confusion continues

Well, LAME 3.97 hasn't made things easier. It's a little bit sparklier than 3.96 but not by much. And I'm coming to the conclusion that more of my old rips sound OK, particularly on headphones - I suspect that the cold I had last week wasn't helping matters.
Yesterday I ripped a few albums at LAME's recommended 192/VBR, and while they sounded OK through the stereo, they still sound flat through headphones. So today I've dumped them, and am giving Windows Media Player another chance. I'm ripping a few new albums so I don't get bored and will see if I can live with the results. Avoiding huge files will help with keeping down the size of my library to fit the laptop's drive and help the iPod's battery life, too, so fingers crossed...!
