Aac Encoding Absolute Path!

Why does this not work @ dos prompt

c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\programming>aacenc -internet -if c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\audio.wav -of c:\music\encoded.aac

Im trying to encode a wav file from c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\ to c:\music\

Can you encode without moving the audio files to the same directory as aacenc which is in this directory c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\programming\

...For the simplest way, simply use Ivan & Menno by Speex..
Don't know why you want to use the dos prompt, better use the frontend.
And, WHY are you using these directories?? ..
Personally, i prefer puting all my audio related programs at c:\audio or d:\audio.
Like, c:\audio\AACEnc, c:\audio\MPC..
Anyway, my opinion...

I know it can be done with that front end, but i need to find out how to do that without a front end.  Using the command prompt

And do yourself a favor, use different folders.

Paths with spaces always require quotation marks, so change that to:
aacenc -internet -if "c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\audio.wav" -of c:\music\encoded.aac
