At 288 DPI none of your apps are usable.
What do you mean with "usable"?
The highest "scaling" setting Windows allows me to select with my frumpy "Full HD" screen is 175% (probably equivalent to 168 DPI), and even with that setting I can see no serious problems with that setting:

Is that Windows 10, or is that Windows 7 with some "Windows 10 Lookalike" theme?
Anyways, I think Windows 10 made some improvements on "High DPI" support compared to Windows 7. Looks pretty "okay" to me with Windows 10 and the "175%" settings:

For StaxRip rendering font symbols into bitmaps at run time has been working out well, fonts are vector graphics based I guess.
mkvtoolnix gui which is also qt based uses images, it does run time scaling I would guess, it looks OK:

Have you looked at CUETools (http://cue.tools/wiki/CUETools) yet?
I have now. What I don't like is that I can't set the output directory path to be the same path as to where the cue file comes from.
I've found the forum and will post a query there about this issue.

I noticed that if I extract the audio from a flac cue file and recode the extracted WAV files to FLAC and then do another cue file, the audio files from the first cue file are done again, resulting in song (2).flac files.
Instead of doing that, might I suggest that the user is warned that such-n-such file has already been encoded and then get shown these typical four options: No - No to all - Yes - Yes to all
Yes, the easiest way around this is to clear the list before doing the next one. But, if you forget, there is no way out of it. Just a user friendly suggestion.

Is it possible to force the output format *.aac? FDK, QAAC gives *.mp4

Привет!

The correct file extension for AAC stored in MP4 container, which is what all encoders create (by default), is ".mp4".
You can use the "Advanced Options" → "Rename Output Files" → "File Extensions" feature of LameXP in order to rename the files from ".mp4" to ".aac", but the content of the file would still be AAC stored in MP4 container!
If ADTS (https://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php/ADTS) (Audio Data Transport Stream) format is what you desire, then you can try to use QAAC encoder and manually add the "--adts" option to "Custom Encoder Parameters".

Thanks! It turned out that it is better to change to *.mp4a (Jet Audio does not see a simple *.mp4).
Is there a cover shutdown?
The option of the AAC encoder is available > check the availability of the update > sometimes I get a connection error with the server (maintenance at night?)> reboot LameXP v4.17 Final - AAC is blocked (unlocking occurs after a successful connection with the server).

Are you referring to the LameXP "auto-update" feature?
Well, I have to rely on a bunch of "free" web-hosting offerings, which can be slow or even unavailable at peak times. Therefore, LameXP has a built-in list of many update mirrors. It will continue to pick a random mirror from the list until it has found a "working" one. That is why you may see individual mirrors fail, but sooner or later the update check should always succeed.
Anyhow, I don't see how all that is related to AAC encoders! If LameXP finds a supported AAC encoder in its install directory during startup, then the AAC encoding option will be enabled. Otherwise it won't. That's it ;)
(Launch LameXP with option "--console" for more details)

Again, not quite sure what you mean :confused:
To make it clear again: LameXP looks for one of the supported AAC encoder in its install directory at startup. If and only if a supported AAC encoder is found, then AAC encoding support will be enabled. Otherwise it won't.
Note that if multiple encoders are available, then QAAC takes precedence over FDKAAC, FDKAAC takes precedence over FhgAacEnc, and FhgAacEnc takes precedence over NeroAAC.
(As said before, launch LameXP with option "--console" to get more details)

Interesting...
What are these "precedence" decisions based upon? Audible encoding quality?
I think there is general consent that QAAC beats all its competitors, but FDKAAC above FhgAacEnc? Highly questionable. And NeroAAC getting the red lantern is also disputable. At least at "normal" bitrates it is certainly every bit as good as the Fraunhofer offerings.
Just my two cents...
LoRd_MuldeR

Interesting...
What are these "precedence" decisions based upon? Audible encoding quality?
Inspired by listening tests (e.g. see here (http://listening-tests.hydrogenaud.io/igorc/aac-96-a/results.html))
As you say, most people seem to agree that QAAC (Apple AAC) is superior these days. And Nero AAC consistently takes the last place, when compared to QAAC and FhG AAC.
Not quite sure about "FhG" flavors (FDKAAC vs. FhgAacEnc). But considering that FDKAAC is available as OpenSource, whereas the FhgAacEnc DLL needs to be "exfiltrated" from old versions of Winamp and hasn't been updated in years...
Anyhow, the precedence is not all that important! It's only needed for conflict resolution, if more than one encoder happens to be present.
LameXP will always show what encoder it is using, on the "Compression" tab. You can easily correct things, if it is not using the intended AAC encoder. Just install whatever AAC encoder you wish to use, and that's it ;)

I have been using LameXP to convert a bunch of wav files to mp3. I noticed that it appears to be assigning a track volume. I am not sure why it is doing this since I don't have normalization checked and haven't changed any of the default settings.
I converted a test track and it assigned -10.0dB. I converted the same track with Audacity and Foobar and it left that tag blank. I am viewing the tags in MediaMonkey. When played the LameXP converted track is quieter than the other two as expected.
I can delete the tagged value and the song returns to normal volume, but any idea why this is happening? I expected a raw conversion with no added tweaks to the sound.
manolito

This made me curious, so I converted a WAV to MP3 using standard settings. No normalizing. The log looks like this:
lxp_lame.exe --nohist -q 2 -V 1 --tt "The Jam" --tc "Kodiert mit LameXP" --tn 1 "D:\The Jam.wav" "D:\The Jam.mp3"
LAME 3.100 64bits (http://lame.sf.net)
CPU features: SSE (ASM used), SSE2
Using polyphase lowpass filter, transition band: 19383 Hz - 19916 Hz
Encoding D:\The Jam.wav to D:\The Jam.mp3
Encoding as 44.1 kHz j-stereo MPEG-1 Layer III VBR(q=1)
Frame | CPU time/estim | REAL time/estim | play/CPU | ETA
Writing LAME Tag...done
ReplayGain: -4.9dB
Exited with code: 0x0000
So Lame obviously writes a ReplayGain tag by default. My TagScanner software just does not see this tag (maybe the version is too old). Since I do not use any player software which honors this tag I never had any problems with it. But there is a command line switch in Lame.exe which disables calculation of the ReplayGain value, maybe adding "--noreplaygain" to the custom MP3 parameters in LameXP will fix it for you.

It is important to understand that the ReplayGain tag that LAME is creating (by default) is nothing but a meta information. It does not alter the volume of the audio file at all!
ReplayGain normalization happens, if at all, at playback time. So, IMO, there are only two possible situations:
If you do want ReplayGain to normalize the volume of you media files, then you need a playback software that supports ReplayGain and your media files need to contain proper ReplayGain meta information.
The latter is exactly what LAME is doing (by default). In other words, LAME prepares the created MP3 files for ReplayGain processing, but the actual processing happens in your playback software.
If you do not want ReplayGain to normalize the volume of you media files, then use a playback software that does not support ReplayGain –or– just disable the ReplayGain feature of your playback software.
Either way, as long as ReplayGain is disabled (or unsupported) in your playback software, the ReplayGain meta information that may be present in the media file will simply be ignored.
tl;dr If you don't like ReplayGain processing, then disable it in your playback software ;)

I would rather just not have to deal with it. It's not always obvious if a particular player is using ReplayGain and how to disable it. Foobar and Audacity are not adding the "meta information" to the best of my knowledge and both are using the LAME encoder. So I assume it is a LAMEXP default and not a LAME default. Looks like I will just use Foobar from now on and have to go back to the files I've already converted with LAMEXP and remove the track volume info.

Nope, it really is a LAME default. LameXP does nothing to enable ReplayGain tag generation. Though, LameXP does northing to disable this default behavior of LAME either.
See LAME manpage:
https://linux.die.net/man/1/lame
--noreplaygain
Disable ReplayGain analysis.
By default ReplayGain analysis is enabled. This switch disables it.
Manually add switch "--noreplaygain" to custom parameters, if you really wish to suppress ReplayGain tag creation.

After clicking "Ignore" there is another message that the update check was declined (accompanied by a very silly sound clip).
Please, if you are too busy to release a new stable version within one year, could you please add an option (maybe hidden in the settings file) to skip this update reminder? It really annoys me to no end... :mad:

Not quite sure what is happening.
What I can say for sure is that the shell integration code, which would be relevant here, has not been changed since some time around 2015:
https://github.com/lordmulder/LameXP/commits/master/src/ShellIntegration.cpp
What this code does: For each "supported" file extension (.wav, .mp3, etc. pp.), it will lookup the file type that is currently registered to that extension. Then, for each of those existing file types, it will add a custom command ("ConvertWithLameXP"). The standard "open" command of the file type is not modified. Also, for file extensions that already are registered to a file type, the file extension to file type mapping is not changed.
If and only if one of the "supported" file extensions is not registered to a file type at all (which rarely happens, but is possible), then a mapping to the our own "LameXP.SupportedAudioFile" file type is created for that file extension.
Works as expected for me. This is on Windows 10 v1909:

Hi LoRd_MuldeR.
Thank you for your work on such a great program.
I would like to make some suggestions.
Please support Freeware Advanced Audio Coder
Please support the input file TrueHD Audio, DTS-HD MA.
Please add an option (tools -> configuration ->) to skip the update reminder (remove pop-up and annoying music).
Please add an option (tools -> configuration ->) splash screen disabled. Or a DisableSplashScreen = false or true line in the LameXP-Portable.ini file.
Thanks for everything!
Regards.

Please support Freeware Advanced Audio Coder
FAAC is a subpar AAC encoder. And, to the best of knowledge, development is long dead. We already support much better alternatives, including NeroAAC, FhgAacEnc as well as QAAC (Apple AAC).
Please support the input file TrueHD Audio, DTS-HD MA.
Well, if a suitable CLI encoder was available, I would be able too look into this. Unfortunately, development of Valdec (AC-3 Filter tools), which is currently used for AC-3 and DTS decoding, seems to be dead too.
Please add an option (tools -> configuration ->) to skip the update reminder (remove pop-up and annoying music).
The regular (14 days) update check can be disabled, as always. The notification about using a deprecated version can't be skipped, an that is for a reason.
Please add an option (tools -> configuration ->) splash screen disabled. Or a DisableSplashScreen = false or true line in the LameXP-Portable.ini file.
Technically, this is not easily possible. The splash screen is not shown for entertainment purposes (only). Some fundamental initialization work is actually going on while you are seeing the splash screen ;)
In theory, it would be possible to simply show no UI at all while the initialization work is going. But be aware that this would not speed things up at all!
However, I think it would be confusing for the users, if they start the program but nothing is showing up. It would take several seconds (or even longer for some people), until the LameXP window finally pops up.

I have many AAC encoders and I would like to put in the LameXP directory, each one in its folder, so I can choose which one to use.
List includes: FhgAACenc, neroAacEnc, Qaac, fdkaac and ffmpeg with fdk-aac.dll.
Do you think it is possible?

Using latest release, which I installed a little bit ago, on my XP-SP3 system (ya, I know, but this computer has a purpose).
While extracting a .cue file, a song was skipped and a reason was not given. I couldn't find a log file. If I play the .cue file via VLC, the song plays just fine. I skipped to it, played several seconds and then skipped to the next song. No issues.
What could cause LameXP to skip a song?
Update: While adding some more .cue files, one skipped two files and the next one skipped 13 of 19, 13 of 19 and 14 of 19 (3 disc set). Ouch!
OK, this is getting downright nasty. Disc 1 and 2 of a 2 disc set skipped all 20 tracks (each disc).

Just for the notes: I use the CUE sheet import function all the time to import .cue files produced by EAC (Exact Audio Copy) and didn't encounter any "skipped" tracks yet.
Anyway, maybe you can see something in the log.
BTW: Is this a CUE sheet with just one big WAVE file that will be split into tracks, or does it use a separate WAVE file for each track? In the latter case, it could be that some files were not found for some reasons.
(For example, if you choose the "wrong" character encoding, it is possible that file names containing "special" characters are interpreted wrongly)

Great, did that.

I've done others as well.

All I get is: Splitting has failed !!!
It shows the details for the track, but gives no reason for the failure.

Sorry, I should have stipulated that it is one big flac file.
This is really weird. I went back to one of the discs where all 20 tracks were skipped and now it only skipped 7. Same with disc 2 of the 2 disc set.
The HDD is local, not networked (as in a NAS).
You have an XP issue. Something is failing internally when the program is run on an XP SP3 32bit system. I installed it on one of my Win7-64 bit systems and the flac file imported and split just fine. The earlier beta build that I had worked just fine on the XP system.
BTW, I thought that LameXP was 64bit as well. But it installed in the X86 location.

@MrVideo,
Can you upload your .cue sheet?

I restarted the splitting on the Win7 box. All was good until I got to this disc, in which track 14 was skipped:

MrVideo, I tried with the second .cue file you provided, and apparently it was imported just as expected, with all 21 tracks:
(since I don't have your original FLAC file, I simply used a dummy WAVE file of appropriate length, but otherwise the .cue file is totally unchanged)
Looks like the CUE sheet parser found all 21 tracks, and they all have a positive length:
https://i.imgur.com/6zCbtGB.png
Also, all 21 tracks have been imported successfully, with all 21 imported files being non-empty:
https://i.imgur.com/f82OBOg.png
Does importing that same .cue file look differently on your side? If so, can you please provide screenshots showing the same phases as above?
