Change log
- v0.983 beta
- fixed a bug with the ini-file that only occured when used in German language Windows
- enlarged the buffer of the file open dialog
- the command-line for ttaenc changed in the 3.x series (-f for output file was changed to -o)
- removed mpg123 and added mpadec
- v0.98 beta
- changed FAAC command line syntax so it works with FAAC 1.24 (but not with older versions).
- can encode .cda, .cdda, .raw and .bin files (if encoder supports this).
- frontend doesn't crash when output directory cannot be created.
- some small internal improvements (code clean-up).
- v0.973 beta
- Bugfix: Multi frontend froze when encoding was going on. Now fixed I hope.
- Codec name in DOS-window title bar (Win2k/XP only).
- v0.972 beta
- Changed the way go.bat is started.
- Process prioriy class can now only be normal or idle (high and realtime priority can be dangerous for system stability).
- v0.97 beta
- Added option to close the DOS-window automatically when processing is finished.
- v0.96 beta
- Selection of process priority class. This feature works only in Win2k/XP (and newer).
- New tab control in the Locations window (the file tabctl32.ocx is no longer used).
- Some minor grafical changes when resizing the main window.
- v0.952 beta
- Added QuickTime/Qutibacoas.
- v0.951 beta
- v0.95 beta
- Two transcoding methods: "on-the-fly" and "intermediate wav files".
- Option to delete the source files.
- Option to sort the codec list in alphabetical order.
- Adding tags to LPAC files made possible, because foobar2000 can read them and the LPAC decoder skips them.
- v0.94 beta
- It's now possible to choose whitch codecs you want to see in the codec list.
- Added FAAC, OptimFrog DualStream and TTA. Removed aacenc_mpeg4.
- Transcoding from OptimFrog to anything is now possible.
- Transcoding FLAC and Ogg-FLAC to Ogg Vorbis is now done directly by oggenc (requires oggenc 1.01 or higher).
- win2dos.exe is no longer needed for Windows 2000 and XP.
- Some other minor changes.
Error
If you get an error when you try to run the frontend, you need one
of the following files (the error message indicates which one):
Binaries
- mac.exe 3.99 (modified and compiled by Jason Jordan; this version can be used for transcoding on-the-fly)
- mpadec (compiled by John Edwards)
- Many hard to find audio programs can be found on Rarewares
