Beta-2 is out
This version contains a few minor improvements and completes the "Advanced Options" tab. The "normalization", "resampling" and "bass/treble adjustment" filters should be working now. Furthermore this version introduces a "true" portable mode, which will keep the configuration (INI file) in the same folder where the EXE file is located. In order to enable the "portable" mode, simply rename the 'LameXP.exe' to 'LameXP-Portable.exe'. However you have to make sure that the application folder is writable for non-elevated processes! (Therefore using LameXP with "portable" mode from a location in 'C:\Program Files' or 'C:\Program Files (x86)' will not work correctly on Vista/Win7)

Beta-3 is out
This version adds shell integration (explorer context menu) + support for additional input formats + ability to import playlist files. I also created a poll, so people can vote for their favorite UI style now: http://mulder.brhack.net/temp/style_poll/ (If enough people vote, I will the make the most popular UI style the new default style)

That's because I consider the "Meta Data" fields as something that you'll have to update (re-enter) for every album/collection you convert anyway. If I would save these information, there is the danger that the user forgets to look at the "Meta Data" tab and thus some old and completely unrelated meta information that were saved from a previous encode long time ago will be embedded... (BTW: I see you are from Turkey. Would you like to translate the software to Turkish language? ^^)

then can you set track field to (not specified) instead of generate from list position? also comment field from encoded with lamexp to blank? Because it overwrites previous comments.
And i can help to translate. |

However, in contrast to the other fields in the "Meta Data" tab, it might make sense to save/restore these two fields on program exit/launch. So that will probably be the way to go... Nice. Then please see the LameXP translator's guide here: http://mulder.brhack.net/public/doc/...translate.html If you have any questions, feel free to PM me at any time... Quote:
I probably could create my own QStyle class, mixing aspects from QPlastiqueStyle and QCleanlooksStyle, but that's something I'm not currently planning... (It would probably require digging into a lot of "low level" implementation details of Qt)

Just tried to test the current beta3, but no luck here...
I just get the debug console, CPU load stays at 90%, no other window appears. My system is WinXP SP3 with all current updates. I have full admin rights, and all compatibility options also make no difference. I do have a couple of VC++ redistributables installed (from 2005 to 2008). Do I need to install some other libraries first? If so, could you provide download links for them? Cheers manolito |

So what does the console say? At which point it stops proceeding? And are you sure you aren't in "Mark" mode ("Edit -> Mark" or a simple left-click with QuickEdit enabled) in the console? As long as you are in "Mark" mode, the application will be frozen! Also: In my experience poor "Anti Virus" software can slow-down the start-up process significantly! It's quite possible that you just have to wait a little longer... (In my personal experience Avira Antivir is pretty fast, Microsoft Security Essentials is slower but still okay and NOD32 is slow like hell) Windows XP with Service-Pack 3 is one of my test platforms. And I have not experienced any problems so far... Quote:

But the pre-compiled LameXP binaries have been linked against the static MSVCR libraries, so you do not need to install the VC++ Redistributables. (It certainly doesn't hurt to have them installed, but the pre-compiled LameXP binaries simply won't be effected) Quote:
All dependencies have been linked statically for maximum ease of use. Still you might want to verify this with Dependency Walker, if you don't trust me

Hi,
Firstly, Thank you for such a nice software. I've been using it for few days and I think it is one of the best audio encoding software. Secondly, I'd like to address an issue that I noticed. I'm not sure whether its only happening to me. I'm using v4.00 Beta-3 (Build 290) on Windows 7 Home Premium (x64). While encoding flac files to AAC using Nero AAC v1.5.4 (Quality level 0.50) I get an error and the log reads as follows: Quote:
Keep up the good work! |

Can you please test with and without having "write meta tags" enabled? Can you also test with "write meta tags" enabled and having some custom tags specified on the "meta data" tab?

So far the only other time that a program window just refuses to appear on my system is the Windows version of Devede. It uses the Python GTK library, and it just won't run on my machine. But according to their forum I am not the only one. Maybe the Qt library does not like my system, too. I should mention that my machine is quite ancient. My graphics card is an ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP 2x, DX9 is installed, and according to DXDiag everything works without problems. Cheers manolito |

Best solution, of course, would be debugging LameXP on your system. But if you don't know how to do that, I could send you a "special" build with more debugging output. Maybe we could locate the exact line where it stops responding... Quote:
It injects its own DLL into the address space of any running process, which reproducible caused MSYS to crash for me I assume you did a clean reboot after uninstalling ThreatFire? Quote:
So your problems with Qt- and GTK+-based programs are most likely unrelated. However did you try other Qt-based software on your machine? For example SMPlayer or Avidemux 2.5? Also: Did you make a clean "format + re-install" of your system recently? This sometimes works wonders with "unexplainable" Windows bugs Quote:
After all, LameXP works fine even on my Windows 2000 machine, although Windows 2000 is not officially supported by Qt 4.7. It even works under Linux/Wine.

Build #298 fixes a bug in the CPU detection code that could lead to an infinite loop on some systems. Thanks to manolito for the report!
(Unfortunately people who are effected by this bug will have to update manually, because the application will stall before auto-update gets a chance to run)

2. Normalization is restricted to -0.5 db in order to protect against clipping. I think pushing the normalization up to the maximum amplitude isn't a good idea.

I totally agree with you on the iPod gimmick part. Unfortunately this gimmick is now followed by most of the companies. Honestly I really never care for the album art before but now it really bugs me out when I see a stupid headphone symbol or an empty square in my pmp. I usually don't add the entire album to my pmp so I add album art to each of the files. Its like they have enforced something cool which we really never cared for in the first place.
And about Normalization, by definition, applies a constant gain to the selected part or the entire track without exceeding 0.0 dBFS, or 100% (0 dB). For example in Audacity, it analyses the track for the peak amplitude and then applies the normalization filter ensuring that this peak amplitude does not cross 0 dB, hence no clipping.

Mulder, images should be embedded in an ID3v2 tag, so you should be able to read and write them relatively easily: http://www.id3.org/Developer_Information The link has plenty of information and I think there's even a GPL library that reads and writes id3v2 tags easily so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
