It does not appear that mono files are being handled properly. When the input is a mono mp3, the output says "2 channels," which I guess means stereo. That wouldn't be a big problem, except that when...

Bitrates below 64kbps fail with this error: Error converting to m4a FDK (AAC), 'C:\Users\Mike\Documents\Podcast_355.mp3' to 'C:\Users\Mike\Documents\Podcast_355.m4a'
Could not write to the worker...

Commonly, you'll find a "folder.jpg" file, but it's not embedded the way it can be with MP3 and WMA.

In CBR mode, where bits are used inefficiently in many frames, it is useful to save those bits for more complex frames. It is my understanding that, when using VBR, the bit reservoir doesn't really...

Yes. LAME MT is a project aimed at creating a multithreaded version of LAME. You can use it with the CLI encoder.

Supposedly, multi-CPU support is a feature limited to the "Reference" version. However, it works fine with my dual-core system (Powerpack, registered). It does depend on what formats you're using. ...

It should also be noted that, in the download from Nero, there's a file called "neroAacEnc_SSE2.exe", which I assume is an SSE2 friendly build of the codec. If you rename that to "neroAacEnc.exe"...

When using the Multi Encoder with a WMA file as source, and WMA as one of the targets, with "Original Folder" as destination, the conversion fails, and the original file is deleted. This is the...

So, the mapping applies only to the naming of that comment-element (tag field) within the comments, not whether or not the contents are transferred. I think I've got it. It doesn't sound like the...

So, when you say "disable mapping of vorbis comments", what exactly do you mean? Is that to disallow conversion from ID3 tags in, lets say, an MP3 to Vorbis comments in a supporting format? If you...

Got an error for you. I'm encoding from/to a mapped network drive in Vista. I also tried a non-mapped network location. The "native" codecs handle this fine (WMA, Ogg Standard). The "quasi-CLI"...

Hey, ask and ye shall receive! Thanks Spoon, and if I have any luck, I'll submit my plug-in. The last thing I submitted was the Ogg Vorbis aoTuV encoder and GUI, and I'm really happy to see it's...

I know Spoon's working on tagging wave files which would be cool, especially if other software could properly interpret the tags (as well as my Creative Zen Vision:M), but I'd still like to have a...

Of course it doesn't! It's just an audio compression codec, no different from any other codec. Time-stretching can be handled by the library above, which is also available as a binary, but it only...

I found an open-source time-stretching/pitch-shifting library. It can be found here: http://www.surina.net/soundtouch/
I don't have a lot of programming knowledge, but it should be pretty easy to...

Both PowerAmp and Music Converter could benefit from time-compression/expansion. I listen to a lot of podcasts. I always download MP3s, or Ogg when available. I always convert everything to...

That the answer that I was looking for, because I'm definitely not interested in analog ripping CDs. Thanks a lot!

Problem (somewhat) solved. Deleting registry entries worked, and the program ran. Then I was able to duplicate the problem. I went to Options, Standard CD Emulation, Audio CD Parameters, and...

Right... HKEY_CURRENT_USER... I've already tried deleting everything (applicable) in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, but I didn't even think about HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Maybe that's why I wasn't able to find much...

Spoon, thanks for the reply. In my previous posts, I did make it clear that the program will not start even with no CD in the drive. Furthermore, the program never even attempts to access the...

No, the program doesn't start, even without a disc. Like I said, it hangs before it even tries to access the drive. When present, the disc in the drive never spins up, the light on the drive (a...

Yes, I've rebooted between all uninstallations and reinstallations. I can't "point" to any drive because the program will not start at all, but I only have one drive, so that can't really be the...

Now that I think about it, I might have fudged up a setting the last time I used Audio CD Input. The CD that I was ripping had a really long last track with a "hidden song" at the end that I wanted...

So, about 30 minutes ago I could use the Audio CD Input with no problems. No, when I try to start it, my CPU usage jumps to 100%, but cdgrab never actually starts. I tried doing a reinstall, and it...

The iPod shuffle is dirt cheap for a 512 MB/1 GB flash player, and very small too, but for that many songs, how are you supposed to navigate without a screen! In the same price range, I'd rather...
