Hello!
I'm currently trying to move my batch conversion process from Sonic Foundry's Batch Converter 5.0b. I've moved to Sony's Sound Forge 8.0 using their hacked up batch converter process with limited success (crashes). I've since discovered you and while the basic functionality is there, I do have some feature requests that would definately be useful in my environment. Otherwise, I'll have to keep looking. :( We are a commercial shop and I'm giving your software a shot.
It might end up that I'll have to write our own software, but I'd like to avoid it. (I'm not being paid as a programmer, for one.. )
1) Encoding settings saved. I do not want to have to manually enter encoding settings every time I encode (from wavs btw). I read another post where it seemed the user wanted the same thing and it's not available. Will it ever be?
2) Batch encoding: multiple settings: I encode all my files in 5 different formats. I see you have a dual conversion add-on, why the arbitrary number? Sound Forge's batch converter allows me to chain together events (converts to each format from the original). This would rock hard if I could get all my encodings done in one pass, using saved settings as in my suggestion in 1 (i.e., open up my "All_bitrate" settings tab, select the directories to encode, and go). I frequently encode between 1500-2500 tracks at a time, so you can see where doing this would save a lot of time... I could leave the process running overnight and let it complete while I'm at home...
3) Any word on the robo-ripper? I have 2 Plasmon devices (120 disc and 80 disc) that I'd love to be able to directly rip/encode from without the many steps currently involved (right not we use something called Kill-Copy, and then have to rename files).
Thanks in advance!
