And of course, bug fixes are always welcome. They upped it to 3.98 in 1.08, and it's good to see them keeping up.
#Freac encode to single file crash upgrade
I'm still using v1.0.7 on my main ripping machine, because to me, it's already awesome and incredibly capable, and I'm used to the v3.97 encoder results and am pretty much happy with things just the way they are in 1.0.7Īnyway, that said, the upgrade to Lame v3.98.1 is probably something that most users will appreciate. I guess I would have expected a more comprehensive overhaul if one was going to be made. I'm not sure why the dialog interface was reworked the way it was - I mean, there are a lot of areas of redundancy in existence throughout the interface. Bonk Encoder is best of breed and you never have to fork out a single penny. All this and it's absolutely free.ĭbpoweramp is so far in the rear-view mirror that it ain't even funny. Kausch for making this already great program even better. Two very, very useful additions to an already awesome application. I just uncheck the "Encode To Single File" option and start the process. So, I have 20 files and I want to convert / re-encode them to the above specs. Maybe you end up with 20 files.įor Audiobooks and most spoken word recordings, 32 kbps, 22.05 kHz, 16 Bit, Mono works very well for me. Say you used a splitter program to cut one of the Audible books you purchased into manageable chunks. Just answer when prompted and type in the name for each set of files and you are good to go. Just click that "Encode To Single File" option and each disk ends up ripping to a single file, which might be CD01.mp3, for instance. A 20 disk book can end up being 2000 files. You buy an Audiobook and want to rip the CD to MP3? Well, what do you do when there are 99 tracks per CD (very common with audiobooks). You don't have to use CALC anymore to make sure that all the small files you are wanting to combine do not total more than 74 minutes (so I can listen to stuff in the car)Īnd, the "Encode To Single File" checkbox on the main page is totally convenient and a big time saver (no more menu searches to confirm the status of that setting). The "Total Length Of All Tracks" addition is awesome.
