Quality setting in CLI (aoTuV) Not working

[MikeCerm]

I've got the CLI encoder pointed to oggenc.exe, and conversion works with no problems, except my quality selection is ignored. The string that I'm using is, as Spoon suggested:

-q 4.35 -a "[IDArtist]" -t "[IDTrack]" -l "[IDAlbum]" -d "[IDYear]" -G "[IDGenre]" -N "[IDComment]" [InFile]

I've tried every other possible integer after -q and invaribly the output file is the same size, with a nominal bitrate of 112 kbps (which corresponds to q3, strangely enough). Furthermore, none of the tags are preserved, despite the long string used.

I originally used: -q 0 [InFile]

It produced the same exact result. Evidently, my CLI is not getting read at all, and it's just doing some sort of default conversion.

Any suggestions?

Hmm, I feel a bit like a moron. I seems that I've gotten it working by adding "oggenc" to the beginning of my string. Ok, I don't feel that stupid, because I thought the the Generic CLI codec would do that part for me.

The Tags? Well, that's another issue entirely. It appears as though the files I was transcoding (APE -> Ogg) were not tagged at all. That explains why the tags weren't preserved: They weren't there in the first place.

So, in the case someone else reads this and I'm not just talking to myself and answering my own questions, I will give you some advice: My initial insticts were right. Add the filename of the encoder to my original string, and it works, tags and all.

The full string: oggenc -q 0 [InFile]

Of course, feel free to subsitute your favorite quality in place of the 0. Now it will actually work.
