--alt-preset standard is high bitrate VBR with bells and whistles. Read the manpage for details.

There's a very good page on LAME bitrates here:

Personally I use -V2 that is just the new syntax for --alt-preset standard

and added --ty for year tag

Fixed album option (as noted by msoap) and added options for V2..V0 and 320CBR. Made the default V0.
