In fact for Nero AAC I need to run a tagger.

The problem is: To use such a tagger for all files (instead of encoder-specific tagger), that tagger would have to support:
MP3, MP2, AAC/MP4, Ogg/Vorbis, FLAC, Monkey's Audio and so on...

This includes at least ID3 tags, MP4-specific meta data, Ogg-specific meta data and APE tags

MP3Tag. I use it to correct FLAC tags in bulk, and it supports *EVERYTHING*.

Have no idea whether it'd work for you though, but the developer is German, which makes contact easier I suppose.

One thing that could be implemented is freedb reading (remote and local), to do tags for CDs (MP3Tag has such support for it) and other random things, but I have a more immediate suggestion.

Read the metadata from the input file, keep it in memory, then write within the output file?

Will have a look at that. If it's not too hard to integrate it into the current structure of the program, I might add it...

For the moment I try to fix the lack of WMA support. Of course input support only!

WMCmd.vbs might be the ticket, both for encoding and decoding.

It does depend on WindowsScriptingHost plus WindowsMediaRuntime, right? If so, it's totally useless for my purpose...

Inventive Software · 13th August 2008, 14:52

Yes, but it's called from the command-line.

I can't think of anything remotely useful that's standalone. Short of building your own utility using the WMF SDK.

John from RarWares is working on something now, based on a stripped-down ffmpeg

Right another Test version, WMA support has been hacked in

a quick question. does this support multichannel audio using neroaacenc? if so, is there a way to select stereo from multichannel sources like ac3?

edit: i just noticed it doesn't support ac3 as input

If the Nero AAC encoder supports multi-channels and your Source has multi-channels too, then the re-encoded file will have multi-channels too.

There is no "Stereo Downmix" option yet. At the moment the Encoder decides whether it requires the Decoder to downmix the source...

It does support AC3 for sure

~bT~ · 15th August 2008, 10:12

^ it doesn't say on your webpage

Quote:

Accepted input formats are: Wave, MP3, MP2, Ogg Vorbis, AAC/MP4, FLAC, WavPack, Musepack, Speex and APE.

I must have written the info before I hacked in the Valib Decoder (AC3 Filter)

Now you can append WMA to that list

~bT~ · 15th August 2008, 10:16

^ so can we see downmixtostereo soon

Can you provide a simple CLI tool that accepts a Multi-Channel Wave as input and puts out a Stereo Wave ???

I'd add it asap...

~bT~ · 15th August 2008, 10:22

^ ahhh, i was thinking maybe u can use avisynth. anyway, no probs. i'm sure u will be doing it in a future build

cheers for the great lil tool!

edit: can't ac3filter downmix the channels and pass it to neroaacenc?

I need to look at this. My internal decoder interface does have a "downmix" option, but the individual decoder will have to support it as well...

~bT~ · 15th August 2008, 11:55

^ thanks for at least considering my request

Oh man, why the heck WMA support? This is ultimate evil. MS fails horribly at producing any audio/video formats.

Because many people have WMA files. That's a fact. And why should I prevent people from converting their existing WMA files to some "useful" audio format? In fact they reviewed my software on Softpedia and the biggest flaw they mention was the lack of WMA support. Also keep in mind that I support WMA only as input, never ever as output
