Anyway, only AAC and APE files are tagged with Tag.exe.[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=335374"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Well, I'll probably need to transcode my library (about 9k songs) from mp3 + WMA Lossless to HE-AAC PS for the Nokia N91 (the 4GiB mobile phone / music player) I'm going to buy next year. And of course I'd like to keep the long tags. Let's hope tag.exe will be be able to write ID3v2 tags until then .

nice work as always!

a tag-mapper would be nice, eg id3v1->ape, idv2->mp4 and so on
when transcoding mp3 to aac and wrapping it up in mp4 it tags the aac with an id3 and imports into mp4 afterwards

I will try it. And the issue you mentioned is an issue I haven't ever noticed.

Hi,

thank you optimus for the great software.

I have one question.

I want to transcode my whole music collection to AAC+ V2, but i find it difficult to choose output folder again, i mean the songs are allready arranged in collections, so is there anyway that i can choose destination folder to be "same as input folder" and "delete original files after conversation. Is there any way that if this is not possible you to implement it. It would be very usefull for large set of files.

Keep up the good work, and i send you a lot of greetings from Bulgaria.

Simply leave the "Output folder" blank and that's the "same as input folder".
I just released a new PowerPack (the one released yesterday is a broken version, the current version is build 471) and added the function you need.

A Win9x version released. The limit is that MPlayer source is disabled.

EDIT: PowerPack updated. The installer will install different version on NT and 9X system.

Excellent job on rolling out the Windows 98 version!  Transcoding to AACPlus is excellent.  Looking forward to the final build later so I can experiment with Lame and Ogg as well.  WavPack-to-AACPlus is working great!

Many thanks for your great tool - its a real winner.

I've uploaded an update for Win98. However, I still haven't got a chance to test it on Win98. Please try it to see if it can solve your problem.

Build 505 works for transcoding to AACPlus, however the update fails to produce a file at all.  It doesn't allocate a file type ie: aac or mp4. 

I will continue testing the original build untill you are able to test for yourself on a Win98 system.

Cheers

Hello Optimus,

I have 6,020 MP3 songs encoded at 320k. Will your program (recommended to me on this forum)  allow me to reencode to
160k MP3 in 1 (very long) session ? Will all tags remain including album art ?

I need this for Ipod usage.

If no then your opinion on the best method to do such would be valued.

Regards

@optimus: I am currently working on substituting the tag.exe with a PHP script (which uses getID3), currently my script it is able to read the ID3v1, ID3v2 and the ASF tags (and also convert the UTF-16LE encoded ASF tags to ASCII, adding other tag formats should be easy). Writing tags (getID3 can write ID3v1, ID3v2, APE, Ogg Vorbis comments and the FLAC comments, see http://getid3.sf.net for more details) shouldn't be a big deal too, I'm going to complete this tomorrow.

Optimus, for some reason, your Mediacoder powerpack 0.30 version, build 505, don't work. Precisely, I can't encode Wav audio files and any other audio files. Mesaage is: Nothing has been transcoded.

Fix that ugly bug soon, previous 0.28 were good.

All tags (including title, artist, album, track, year, genre and commet) will be preserved. However, currently it does not support writing ID3V2 tags.
To do you job, follow these steps:
(1) click "Add folders" and choose the root folder of your mp3 collection
(2) set an output folder
(3) click LameMP3 tab, set "Rate Mode" to ABR or CBR, and drag the bitrate slide bar to 160 (you may need to use arrow keys)
(4) click "Transcode"

That's a great news. If you can help improving the tagging function, I will be appreciated. I will also take a look at getID3.

Please, first choose File -> Revert All Settings, and then choose MPlayer as source. If it still doesn't work, please choose Wave/PCM File as source.

Found also something:

When "Winamp Input Plugin" is selected as a source, then selecting the plugins properties button (right from the source drop-down list) closes the program.

Otherwise plugins and audio encoding works...

Are you using Windows 98? This is a bug on that platform.

No XP Pro sp2 (english version), MediaCoder is 0.30 b537 and Winamp plugins
from 5.11
Bug is repetable every time and didn't exsist with previous version (505 ?).

PowerPack 0.3.1 released, with following updates:
(1) added WMA encoding, including WMA standard/WMA voice/WMA lossless, you will need to install Windows Media Encoder first.  There is a link on my web site.
(2) Helix Producer now can eat all kinds of formats (e.g FLAC/WV/APE -> MP4/RM)
(3) improvements on Win9x, all encoders except for Lame should work on Win98 and even Win95 OSR2, I still haven't caught up what's wrong with Lame.

EDIT:
(4) Helix Producer included in PowerPack
(5) added support for iTunesEncode, now MediaCoder can transcode to LC-AAC with iTunes.

Please check out the download page.

There is one thing you can do to help to find what is going wrong. All winamp input plugins are in "codecs" folder. Please try having only one plugin in that folder each time you run MediaCoder, and see which plugin causes problem, or simply each one does.
