T O P I C     R E V I E W hans-jürgen This is a simple copy & paste from my posting in the CDex forum, because I don't remember the exact placeholder names in Audiograbber for each tagging switch etc. But you could e.g. look them up on Tomb's website where he explains how to use FAAC as the external encoder in Audiograbber: http://www.arax12.dsl.pipex.com ---- The new command line Windows version of FAAC v1.24 from Apr 15, 2004 is available on RareWares now: http://www.rarewares.org/aac.html So far all new tagging switches have been tested OK, the bug with --comment in the previous compile is fixed. You can find an overview of all available options on two help screens, either with --help or --long-help. An example command line for using FAAC v1.24 in CDex as the external encoder would be: - -o %2 -q 100 --artist "%a" --album "%b" --title "%t" --genre "%g" --year "%y" --track "%tn" There are other tagging switches like --cover-art that will add any GIF, JPG or PNG file on your HDD to the output file. This command line would also use the "on-the-fly encoding" feature of CDex (i.e. no temporary WAV input file) with - instead of an input file name, so you have to enable that option as well as "send WAV header to stdin" in the GUI (see also the CDex help for external encoders). Also use either the *.mp4 or *.m4a file extension for the output file name with these tagging switches, because *.aac files cannot be tagged with MP4 tags. The bitrate drop-down list in the GUI is disabled with this command line, because FAAC should rather be used with its default VBR quality setting in percent, i.e. -q 100 or more or less like you need it. A table with recommended -q values can be found in the Wiki of Audiocoding.com, the homepage of FAAC and FAAD2, the decoder: http://www.audiocoding.com/wiki/index.php?page=FAAC ------------------ ZZee ya, Hans-Jürgen
