This tool is designed to convert (encode) .WAV files to MP3 and MP4 (AAC). But the most important advantage is andavced configuration for MP3. It uses LAME and FAAC librarys.

your site looks dead and you sound very very vague, general and nondescript.

Please elaborate about what "advanced configuration for mp3" is...

sorry for link, I updated it


in general, the advanced options are this, that common user dont use, like in lame mostly are used simple presets, yes the presets are for user that don't wanna mess with difficult options and this is good, but EncoderPro is designed for adv and common users

i don't now software (free) that offers more configuration options in easy way like EncoderPro

Try It!

In other words, it will allow me to mess up the optimally tuned presets and in exchange give me an "OMG my self-tuned music sounds so cool"-placebo effect.

Right, and those which dont have a good reason for this: there is no need to, unless you are a codec-developer/tester. But codec-devs/testers can handle commandline encoders. So the main "advantage" of your app is that it allows uneducated users to mess with settings which they do not understand.

If you think so, but this is not true. This software was developed for users that are intrested in advanced tunning and i don't see any point to continue discusion in this way. Command line tools also offers lots of options and u don't use this, but there are for some purpose. The purpose of options is to let users them self to chose optimal settings. Personaly i dont like prestes in lame for eg. and i use different settings for my encodings. But if you dont need this, then don't use and stick with other software, it's free wolrd of free choises.

Flaw detected. Optimal settings are already available via the presets. Unless I misunderstand the meaning of the word 'optimal'.
The app is nice but there are many options that the uneducated users (myself included) don't understand. That way we can screw things up. There isn't a manual or documentation which to explain the settings.
So unexpereienced users can mess things up instead of getting better results.
Experienced users are the ones claiming the presets are the optimal choice and I seriously doubt they would want bad sounding music SO they would use presets themselves. That leaves all those advanced options to be used for the purpose of an experiment/test or something, and not for main encoding
LAME developers and testers have spent a lot of time to make the presets as optimal as possible.
I myself thought I could do a better job at defining my encoding settings. After a while I realized I was getting bigger sized files without hearing ANY difference at all. (That compared my settings vs presets). So I switched to presets.

I agree and I don't say that lame presets are bad, like i write before. The point was to make app that wrap most off lame options in one place and most of default settings are more like lame settings, with small differences. It is home made software, for most of time tested and used by couple of people and i put it on the net having in mind that it will be useful for someone.
I put this app here, to get opinions of users, that have knowlege to test this app, and i take all criticism with full understanding.

Looks like a great tool!  Also if presets give very good results!

I really don't understand why there are users who bash all tools which have more options than the presets! I know that they give best quality in most cases because they are already tuned, but hey, you don't have to use this tool if you don't like it. You should support freeware programmers (also with constructiv criticism if you want) and not bash it. Just my 2 Cents. (Between there are no general "optimal settings"! Sometimes other athaa-settings give better results for example, ask guru...)

I downloaded this and from the look this is just a frontend. There is nothing more here than what has always been available.

LAME and FAAC are the actual encoders (backend) that you could use either via CLI or GUI (frontend). Jan S. is referring to EncoderPro as being a frontend for FAAC and LAME.

Well, like a front-end to LAME (called EncoderLib.dll).

As for SimpleEnc.dll, I have no idea what MP3 encoder that is or what it's based on...

edit: aha! " - SimpleEnc some sources from ISO developing. Author is unknown, quality is not so high but it can be usefull."

maybe yes, meybe not, for me frontend (like RazorLame etc...) is software that is only interacting with encoder (lame, faac) in command line
that is my definitions, maybe i'm worng, correct me if it's true.

EncoderPro uses .dll's with only librarys compiled inside line libmp3lame, libfaac, etc...

but if this is important, for naming of this stuff right, then please put some more light to tihis subject

It is not. But this is not a hosting service.

Looks a great tool to replace razorlame, but how can I encode using the presets??
