Short: GUI 4 Ncode, MusicIn, Lame, BladeEnc, Pegase, Mpega, MP3Enc Author: Daniel Westerberg (deniil@algonet.se) Uploader: Daniel Westerberg (deniil@algonet.se) Version: 2.01 Type: mus/misc *** Now using MUI! *** This is a Graphical User Interface - GUI that you can use to simplify your work when you're encoding Mpeg Audio (MP3) with some of the most popular CLI-based Mpega Audio encoders on the Amiga! You can easily create a filelist and then execute it to encode alot of file over the night or so! You can at the same time set ID3Tag's to your files, if you are using an encoder that supportes ID3Tag's! Tagging also works file with the list where it uses the filename as ID-Title. The GUI can be totally, or partly hidden (only showing progress) when encoding! Registration: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TheMPegEncGUI is Key-mail Ware which means that you have to send me an e-mail with your name to get a key-file so you can get rid of all annoying requesters and text! :-) It's absolutely free, I just want to know how many cool users I've got :-) Your name will ofcource not be used for anything else than to create your personal keyfile which will be sent back to you ASAP. - And don't forget your NAME! Otherwise I can't generate a keyfile! NOTE: If you have problem to get TheMPegEncGUI started, it's probably because it can't fit on your screen :-( It's virually impossible to get all Lame and Mpega settings to fit in 640*200 or similar. Features: ~~~~~~~~~ * NEW * The progress time report has been rewritten and now works quite well I must say! * NEW * You can now choose what flag(s) you you would like to use when sending break to an encoder. Before it was just Ctrl-C. * NEW * Now the application get properly iconified if you close every window, before the windows was just hidden! * NEW * Included a 147 items long genre list for the encoders that support ID3-tagging! * NEW * TheMPegEncGUI has been tested with the latest Lame v3.70. v2.0 ** Now TheMPegEncGUI is finally in MUI! Please give me your suggestions on improvments of the layout of this new GUI. ** The encoders are now executed completly asynchronus and can therefor be interrupted anytime by pressing a button in the GUI! ** Added a few more options of LAME v3.63 ßeta. v1.53 * TheMPegEncGUI became key-mail ware. * Fixed a bug which cause files to be deleted after they where played by Mpega! * Lame commandline was incomplete! Fixed. * Fixed alot of other bug. (I haven't had the time to do extensive bugtesting for like 8 month!) * Added two "undocumented" switches for Lame. * Colours added to the date/time info that is written to the output when encoding. v1.52 * The opened/closed state of the console is saved. * Fixed the bug with the config which made mostly Pegase and BladeEnc to get the wrong settings! v1.51 * Now you can use the ID3 TAG settings when encoding with Lame (v3.50)! v1.50 * Now supporting BladeEnc! * You can open and close the output (console) manually if you want! * I have made a little "process manager" to use when breaking an encoder or something! (If someone knows how to extract the name out of a CLI process I would be glad to hear..!) * Actual parameters is shown in the GUI! * It doesn't specifies default values unless you want it to! * Ncode is now supported! * Lame(r) 3 supported! * You can have the files saved in the same drawer they came from when using the list, instead of having all files end up in the same drawer! * You can set the stacksizes of the encoders! * You can select many files in a list and encode them in one stroke! * You can have the source-file(s) deleted if you want! * You can have date and time written in the output to be able to see how long time the file(s) took to compress! * You can select output, to send it to KingCON och to a file..! * You can print the commandlines to the encoder if you want to compress your files without the GUI! Currently supported encoders: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * MusicIn - (68k and PowerUP) http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminet/dirs/aminet/mus/misc/MusicIn.lha * Pegase - (68k, WarpOS) http://perso.pacwan.fr/kakace/pegase/ * Ncode - (68k, PowerUP and WarpOS) http://studserver.uni-dortmund.de/~su0583/NcodePPC.lzx http://studserver.uni-dortmund.de/~su0583/NcodeWOS.lzx http://studserver.uni-dortmund.de/~su0583/Ncode68K.lzx * Lame - (68k, PowerUP and WarpOS) http://csc.smsu.edu/~strauser/archives/LAMEbin.lzx * BladeEnc - (68k, PowerUP) http://csc.smsu.edu/~strauser/audio.html * MP3Enc - (68k) http://ftp.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/mus/misc/mp3enc.lha Currently supported decoder: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Mpega - (68k, PowerUP, WarpOS) http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminet/dirs/aminet/mus/play/mpega.lha http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminet/dirs/aminet/util/libs/mpega-WarpUP.lha What systems these encoders actually work with am I not quite sure of, so don't be alarmed if it says (above) that an encoder doesn't work on a particular system (PowerUP, WarpOS..), cause it might, or might not..! There might also be other ports of some encoders that this program is not fully compatible with! If anyone would come up with some other encoder I don't know about and you want a GUI for it, just tell me where to get it and it might end up in TheMPegEncGUI v2.1 :-) -- Other programs by Deniil 715! can be found on OnyxSoft homepage at: http://www.onyxsoft.nu/ Feel free to mail me if you found bugs or have suggestions!
