Hi Eamonn, I think cdex (the CD extractor) can batch-convert wav to mp3. I also use ffmpeg for transcoding audio in all sorts of formats and for extraction audio from video files. It doesn't have a GUI though, so you'd need to be handy with the command line to use it. --Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: eoconnor@xxxxxxx To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 11:46 AM Subject: [vicsireland] audio encoders wanted Hi folks, I need advice on obtaining audio encoders, please. when I used goldwave's batch converter to convert .wav to .mp3, I got an error message saying no encoder could be found. The same process with Nero, told me that I could only use the mp3 pro encoder once more before having to pay for it. I could check out the homepages of these respective programs, but I don't really know what I'm looking for! I've heard of Lame, but don't think I have it.
