Hi,

Now that i have found exactly for what i was Searching for iam Happy that i found Mareo.

But Sorry my English is not Perfect, i would like to say it is bad.

Maybe iam Dumb 2 but the Mareo Guide on the Webpage is a little bit to Difficult for me.

What i want is a Preset that Mareo Copy the Files 2 the Formats ogg and mp3

mp3 with : --alt-preset cbr 128
ogg with : q4

How must the ini look like ? etc ?

Please give me a easy step by Step Guide maybe with pics maybe in German.

Thank you very Much.

I don't know such a guide and I have used MAREO only once, but maybe you'll find something here:

German EAC forum
AudioHQ
http://www.hilfe-stellung.de/

EDIT:

Using the search function you might find helpful information here too.

BTW: If you post details here about what you've tried, i.e.
- how you have configured EAC (compression options),
- how you have configured MAREO (.ini file),
- in which directory lame.exe and oggenc.exe are located
- what exactly happens when you try to extract a CD
it's much easier for others to help you.

your ini file sould contain ONLY this lines:

mp3 NONE NONE "@ownpath@\lame.exe" --alt-preset cbr 128 --ta "@artist@" --tl "@cdname@" --tt "@songname@" --tn "@track@" --ty "@year@" --tg "@genre@" --tc "EAC+LAME -alt-pre-standard-Y" "@source@" "@dest@"
ogg NONE NONE "@ownpath@\oggenc.exe" --quality 4 "@source@" --output="@dest@" --artist "@artist@" --album "@cdname@" --title "@songname@" --tracknum "@track@" --date "@year@" --genre "@genre@" -c "COMMENT=EAC + Ogg Vorbis--Q4"

i'm thinking on rewriting the mareo docs, but i'm actually on columbia, and don't have time ... maybe after xmas

Thank You both now ist works Perfect




That would be Cool.

But now iam Happy

just changed the comments on the mp3 line to reflect cbr 128 instead of -aps-y

@ kwanbis

Is there a possibility to run MAREO with Speek's "Batchenc" for the conversion of already ripped wav files?
Do you have a recommendation since I receive a syntax error message when I try to run simply with "mareo".
After ripping the CD´s the wav files have the following stucture:
L:\! Fresh rips\GENRE\ARTIST\YEAR - ALBUM\[TRACKNUMBER] TITLE.wav

I´d like to use mareo with calls for lame, flac, tag and wavegain to customize it for my special needs.

Thanks

well, if you call mareo passing it:

@program@
@finalname@
@source@
@dest@
@artist@
@cdname@
@songname@
@track@
@year@
@genre@
@11@ .. @nn@

you can surelly use it to whatever you like ... how does batchen works?

Just a quick announcement: There will be released a revised and extended version of Universal-Front from Böreck in the next time (probably during the next 2 weeks). And this version will be able to transcode from any lossless format you want to any lossy formats by defining so-called "jobs".
For example from:
APE -> MPC --q5
APE -> MPC --q7
FLAC -> MP3-LAME --alt-preset standard
WAV -> Vorbis -q4
After defining the tasks all the formerly mentioned encoding-jobs will be done in one step, and into different target-directories with preserving the paths of the original-files, of course perfect gaining & tagging included. Even MD5-checksum-files and M3U-playlists will be added for each folder if demanded.
I already received some pre-releases for testing purposes and I can tell you: It will be *THE* encoder-frontend release of the year ´04. - Stay tuned & get lucky with it!

Batchenc
...you have to add the files you want to convert. Batchenc writes an ini-file where it calls the defined program (mareo in this case) and the go.bat.
What I don't know is how to pass the parameters:



the informations:
genre\artist\year - cdname\[track] songname
are part of the path - how can this be handeled, and how to define that mareo does ignore other parts of the path i.e. L:\Fresh rips\.....


@ R.A.F.

seems to be a good clue! I'll watch out for the new Universal-Front.
By the way, I also want to use further programs like md5 checksum for the flac files but I did not mention to make it not too complicated.
So Universal-Front seems to become another advanced alternative.
The possibility to choose different output folders is also important for me.
I hope the configuration for complex tasks will be understandable and simple enough.

Thanks guys!

Be sure: It is. You don´t have to type any syntaxes or text-strings to get the result you want. Also reading an instruction-file is obsolete, because it has a totally intuitive user-frontend. Normally it´s yet ready to 98 %. But what prevents releasing it right now is the saving of all the single jobs (for continuing the tasks at another time). It just takes too much time at the moment (around 3-4 minutes). But Böreck just seeks at the moment for a different, faster saving-method.
