Hi All,

I am a beginner, therefore I do apologize if my question sounds "obvious".

I use LAME 3.93.1 + EAC 095pb4 - My OS is W2K
I have compressed a wav file using the preset --alt-preset extreme, the encoding to mp3 was successful but I could not see any sign of life during the process through the EAC window, I mean no progress bar leds moving or % numbers increasing.

Does anybody know why?

Thank you!

Did you uncheck "Do not open external compressor window" in EAC>EAC options>Tools?
Metallo
Yes, it is unchecked by default...

This is perfectly normal, progress bars for compression tasks is not implemented in EAC. The only info you have in the EAC window is in the status bar where you can see the number of remaining compression tasks in the queue.

However the external compressor window has a particularly cool ASCII progress bar that shows bit rate info as well.
