These options control the "file size -vs- quality" trade-off. better quality at the cost of a bigger file (increased bitrate); or you can get a smaller file at the cost of
reduced sound quality (decreased bitrate). The "algorithm quality" is yet another way to control the quality.

Instead, the algorithm quality controls the "encoding speed -vs- quality" trade-off. That means, you can get
a better sound quality at the cost of increased encoding time (higher algorithm quality); or you can get a
faster encoding speed at the cost of reduced sound quality (lower algorithm quality). Note that while the
algorithm quality does influence the encoding speed, it does NOT influence the decoding speed at all. Also

The LAME algorithm quality is an integral value between "0" (best/slowest) and "9" (worst/fastest), but NOT
