TAudioConverter 0.9.7-Multithreaded Audio Converter-Extractor CD ripper

I see. Since these files aren't raw and ffmpeg seems to be able to identify them, I can use ffmpeg to extract duration info.

[ozok]

I've made some progress on some of the thing I wanted to implement. I need them to be tested before a release so I'm sharing TAC.exe+TTagger.exe so you can do some testing. Overwrite old exes if you want to try them.
-Tagging is improved. Monkey's audio, TAK, TTA now has tagging support. Also number of tag fileds for aac encoder has increased. It is done by a tagging tool I'm writing called TTagger. I'll release it as a seperate tool and provide information about how to use it because it has a strange way of doing things.
-Cue sheet support. It is limited and might have bugs because I don't have much samples. If you encounter problemsi please feel free to send samples as there is still room for improvement.
-Playback speed change option. You can change playback speed of audio files. This will effect the duration of output file and it is applied after trimming.
-Trimming works for "Extract audio" too now.

It works pretty well, except with titles which contains: ?, *, >, /, \
TAC shows in the file list window that such files are converted but in fact they are missing.

@, #, $, %, ^ are accepted.

Tag cannot be written to flac output file if the title contains non ASCII characters.

@kleen try these:

Latest ttagger.exe is here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9617171/TTagger.7z
extract it and overwrite older ones. TAC wrote temp tag files with ANSI coding now it writes them with UTF-8 coding. It tried Japanese and Turkish tags. Also tags for QAAC and REFALAC will be written by ttagger too now.
I think these chars aren't allowed in file names. I missed that I'll fix it.

TAudioConverter is crashing while converting video to audio. I am attaching the bug report file.

[ozok]

Are you trying to convert to mp3? What is the number of channels of source audio? A possible fix:

I am using today's update, the output format is wma pro 48 kbps i am attaching the input videos media info.

Another question the problem with *.aac is still not fixed.

[ozok]

I used ffprobe to get duration information from problematic aac samples Brazil2 sent me. Although ffprobe can extract duration from these files, it is wrong (ffprobe gets 1:52 while their true duration is 1:47). However it is better than nothing so I added ffprobe to package. But I used shared builds so the size of whole package wont change much. Links below include both TAC.exe and ffmpeg+ffprobe files. Please note that ffmpeg.exe is now located under ..\tools\ffmpeg folder. It used to be located under \tools\ folder.

Edit: Files may not be uploaded yet thanks to my crappy internet provider.

Since the location of encoder keeps changing i suggest add a setting option where we can manually specify the location of the encoder thus we will be able to test both stable and beta versions from same folder.

Thank you for the fixes the latest build is able to encode *.aac and video to audio.

[ozok]

Location of encoders don't keep changing. I moved ffmpeg to this folder because it comes with shared libraries and I wanted to keep things tidy on that part.

Edit: If I had changed location of other encoders in the past, it was probably asked by a user or similar case as above was present.

[ozok]

I've just released a new beta, build 2204. You can get it from https://bitbucket.org/ozok/taudiocon...rter/downloads . It includes a new GUI layout, track replaygain for aac encoders and lame. Both 32-bit and 64-bit portable versions are available.

[kleen]

Thanks Ozok for the update. I found two issues as yet, when converting from MP2 (48 kHz) to FLAC (44.1 kHz), using a cue sheet:

1. PERFORMER tag is ignored and not written into a file name. TAC writes "unkown" (typo!) instead, and next correctly grabs string from TITLE tag. So the file name looks like # - unkown - TITLE - Song TITLE.

2. Codec setting is ignored, at least for flac. I set sampling rate to 44.1 kHz, and but the output file is like the original 48 kHz.

[ozok]

1) Naming pattern is this: TrackNo - Artist - Album - Title. I'm guessing your cue file stores artist info in performer field. I had written a wrapper around this library and since cue files are just text files I think I can extract that information. If artist field is empty, performer info can be used instead.
2) It looks like even though I carried sample rate and channel options to a different window, you still needed to enable filters under "Audio Effects/Filters" window.

Thanks for typo warning .

Edit: Can you send me your cue file so I can see it for myself?

[ozok]

I've uploaded a new beta to bitbucket, build 2245. This adds replaygain support for flac encoders and musepack. Also fixes a bug where you had to enable filters to change sampling rate and channels even if these options are no longer listed under "Filters" window. As usual you can get it from here: https://bitbucket.org/ozok/taudiocon...rter/downloads

[kleen]

for prompt reply, and another fast update.

Cue sheet doesn't contain ARTIST filed but PERFORMER or rarely SONGWRITER. Please check specification at http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Cue_sheet

I use very basic format. I changed file extension to .txt as .cue can't get pass through Doom9 approved attachment.

[ozok]

You are right. I used artist in my code so that's why I got confused. My test set includes performer field and they are handled properly.

[ozok]

A new beta build 2303. Changes:

-Added: "No delay" option for Qaac
-Added: Numbers will be used for temp wav file names to prevent unicode file path problems
-Added: A few improvemetns to cue sheet handling (should solve kleen's problem)
-Updated: Skinning component

You can download it from here. If you have the previous build (2245) you can just download exe.

[Capsbackup]

Just tried downloading your latest build but the file cannot be opened by 7z.
Also, TAC(0.9.0.1930)portable_64bit does not recognize my .dts or .ac3 files to convert / reencode to mp4!
No problems with 8.9.1871 though.

[ozok]

I can extract build2303 here. Are you sure you are not using a very old copy of 7zip or Winrar? In any case, I'm uploading rar file to dropbox. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9617171/tac64bit_beta_2303.rar

Using 7-Zip 920. I have no problems opening other files.
The new download does not have the same 7Z icon like previous ones, but is generic white / blank. When I try to right click/open it and select 7Z, nothing happens.
