Use with caution, it is a Testversion. It's so new, that there is no homepage up yet tongue.gif (will be ready in about 14 days) .

Main-features:

-En , de- and transcoding
-Encoding, tagging and gaining in one step
-Scriptbased, so adding more formats is easy (description of scriptlanguage will come)

[Edit: New Location, hosted by cookie]
Download: UniversalFront.zip
[/Edit]

I want Phase to write the installer including all supported backends. But I think I need the permission of the developers of the backends. So, if you are a developer of a supported backend, please write here if Phase can add your program to the installer.

Thanks to:
-Madah for pipeencoding-support
-R.A.F. for intense pre-beta-testing
-Phase for that he will write the installer

And according to this new frontend comes a "all-in-one sorrowless-pack" with all different formats (exe-files) included in a single file:

Updated Codec-Pack V1.1 available from HERE .

Just download this 2,2 MB-file, unRAR it and put the files in the main-folder of UniversalFront. As always: It comes without any guarantee of completeness and being absolutely up-to-date. Hope the original authors won´t mind, that I put it all together.

P.S.: It´s hosted on free webspace, so I actually don´t know, how long it will be up.

.... and - I nearly forgot - a big T H A N K S to Böreck for writing this great frontend !

Yet another cool frontend!

One suggestion: Look in path for backends too.

Some remarks about what this frontend is able to do:

In general one important thing, which at the moment no other frontend provides: Encoding, tagging and replaygaining of as many files as you want in just one step. Tagging offers a big flexibility in doing it´s job (as already known from "the tagger that uses tag"). Maintaining source-directory structure. Continuing cancelled encoding-processes at the right position.

For using this frontend optimal, check the following settings (most of them are already set by default):
- "Save plugin and gain settings" set
- "Save window position and size" set
- "Check files when added to filelist" set
- "Beep when finished" set biggrin.gif
- "Skip file when already exists" set
- "Gain whole list (not only checked)" (IMPORTANT !) set
- Priority: Idle
- State: Hide
- PlugIn options: "tag" set
- PlugIn options: "gain" set
- Set your wished tag-options
- Set your wished gain-options

Now this frontend should do the following: Encoding the whole files which were dropped in the filelist-window from the first to the last one. Cancelling and resuming, even shutting down the frontend is no problem. The encoding-process will always be resumed at the correct place again. The filelist will not be cleared out of the encoding-window, until it´s done manually. Tagging is done right after each file is encoded. If the last file is encoded, it starts to replaygain all files by automatic. Of course the album replaygain-values are computed correctly. You even have the possibilty to let the system do an auto shut-down if all is done.

Böreck, your Universalfrontend is sure enough a nice peace of work, I played around a bit and love it yet wub.gif
I like your integration of sricpts which can be modified and extended by oneself, every option (commandline) can be changed if you need it.
Just want to disclose my rapturousness B)

Ciao..

nice one..

but it would have been more awesome to see
a multi frontend supporting mausau`s plugins.

don`t get me wrong.. i just pointing out
that a multifront.. for dll`s would be more of
a new thing.. rolleyes.gif

If someone could upload the .exe pack again, that would be great. wink.gif

Give me webspace, which holds longer than a few hours, and I´m your man.
R.A.F.
Ok, I got some secure webspace. So you are able to download the
UniversalFront Codec-Pack V1.1 (Updated) from here now.
Thanks must go to Poison Dan for providing the webspace.

I came across an undocumented feature of Tag.exe that I thought you might want to include support for. It is the scheme feature "D" for "Disc". You can see the thread about it here:
