Yup

Furthermore, even if we leave the legal issues aside for now, what if they stop their service tomorrow for whatever reason? Sure, any "online" service may shut down tomorrow. But the chance that a big and well-recognized service stops their business all of a sudden is much lower. At the same time, making your software depend on some rather "dubious" service, like this one, is not what we want. Last but not least, after a quick look at your code, it seems you are not even using an official API to fetch the covers. Instead, it looks to me like you are parsing their HTML code. So, even if we assume that this is a legitimate service, using the service in that way might easily be a violation of their ToS (Terms of Service). And, of course, you will have to constantly adapt your code to any change they make to their site. Again something we certainly don't want.

hi Lord_Mulder,
I'm using the latest stable build v4.11 Final-1 build 1700. I'd like to request a feature for the usage with qaac. right now you can't use the --cvbr option of qaac which is actually the ABR method of this encoder (while --abr is basically a constant bitrate with small leeway). I tried to use the manual commandline option but since lamexp already uses --tvbr, --abr or --cbr I can't add --cvbr on top of it, the encoding process then quits with an error ("Encoding mode options are exclusive.") Is there a solution for that problem or could you add another option (or replace --abr with --cvbr for qaac)? and another thing.. do you plan to add lossyflac to the encoder selection? I would love to see that addition. ps: thanks for the tool and the work you put into it. it's really useful and convenient |

Adding yet another (ABR) bitrate mode seems difficult, as QAAC would really be the only encoder to which this mode applies. I see two options:
1. Generally make "ABR" synonymous for "--cvbr" instead of "--abr", when it comes to QAAC. 2. Add an option to the advanced options dialog, which makes QAAC use "--cvbr" instead of "--abr" in "ABR" mode. I need to think about it, but if "--cvbr" is considered the "actual ABR method", is there any reason to prefer "--abr" over "--cvbr" ???

I don't really know, I guess not. I could only imagine that it is useful for some really restrictive standalone player. but in that case one could use the actual constant bitrate method --cbr instead of --abr, there is not much of a difference between those two.

works fine, thx for the quick update. I did a little search on that matter and found some official apple documentation about the different encoding modes:
https://developer.apple.com/library/...1-SUBSECTION11 this gives the following order for the bitrate variation (high to low): --tvbr, --cvbr, --abr, --cbr according to this document cvbr uses the bitrate setting as a lower limit. so I'm not sure which one should be the correct choice, maybe I misled you. in terms of hitting the target rate --abr is the appropriate choice. --cvbr allows more variance but definitely results in a higher bitrate on average than the user selection. it's your decision in the end but I think regarding the user expection for the setting "average bitrate" the option --abr should be prefered (or you add a switch to the advanced settings like you suggested). sorry for the confusion but hopefully I shed some light on qaac's encoding options.

So, I tested LameXP the other day, uninstalled it but the context menu entries in explorer remained. What gives?

This code is surprisingly complex, because the way how Windows manages file associations is surprisingly complex — file extensions are registered to file types and shell operations are registered to file types, so we need to figure out all file types to which at least one "supported" file extension is registered and then we must register our operation to each of these types (removing the Shell Integration requires the inverse process) — so I have no plans to replicate this code in the Uninstaller. Instead I have now added a new "--uninstall" switch to the LameXP main program, which will be called by the Uninstaller, in order to remove the Shell Integration. Please try again with this test build: http://sourceforge.net/projects/muld...5.exe/download

Thanks, but I've already removed them manually and it looks like I'm gonna stick with Foobar cause it also converts FLAC.

Thanks LoRd_MuldeR for the new stable version...
Works well on my ancient computer, even feels a little faster than the previous version. One small cosmetic bug I found: When converting to the APE format and having MetaData unchecked, LameXP still runs its tagger app after the conversion and finishes with an error (at least one tag must be specified). The converted file is perfect, though. Cheers manolito |
