Mp3 Encoding (and Virtual Machine Software for Wheezy?)



Hey folks,

I've run into a small predicament.

I just purchased a Sony E-Series Walkman, & don't have any album artwork showing on mp3's i just encoded using my Debian Wheezy system (my lame libraries are from debian-multimedia.org).

Some of the mp3's i added were actually showing artwork, so i ran those files through my hex editor and discovered the problem was the version of lame i was encoding with. The mp3's i encoded using my Debian (Wheezy) system, the artwork was not showing. But the older mp3's i was adding... their album's artwork WAS showing.

So there it is. Possible solutions?


Install a virtual machine, load the older libraries, & do my encoding there. However, my issue is i don't know of any virtual machine software available for Debian Wheezy (amd64). Do you guys know of any?

Or, is there a way to install an older library, encode with it, & not have it interfere with my system's current configuration? Please Note: the newer encoding libraries perform better than the older ones (obviously), so i don't want to roll back any of them unless i'm left without a choice here.

Any help's greatly appreciated, & i hope you're all doing well out there!
