The second beta release of WavPack 4.0 includes the following:

• decodes and plays legacy WavPack files (vers 1.0 to 3.97)
• sources available with new decoding library

Sorry I didn't answer you before, but yes you can use other tools to transcode to and from Wavpack4. If you stick to the 3.97 options, you can use any of the other multifrontends/transcoders without changing anything apart from copying over the latest wavpack encoder and decoder files.

If you want to use the new modes though, you need to either modify the scripts that usually sit behind these tools to make them work, or simply add what you need in the custom command section.

eg, I used Unifront 1.1 Beta today to transcode to and from Wavpack 4. If I used the old modes, I didn't have to change anything apart from copy the new files in. I wanted to encode into -hb320x3 though so I simply chose Wavpack encoder, and then turned off the built in options, and entered -hb320x3 into the "Add additional options" box. Worked a treat.

Hope this helps.

Den.
