Hiya...
Didn't see anything right away on my searches...(unless I looked up the wrong terms for this...) but thought I'd ask.
Is there some s/w or somesuch that'll associate itself into the explorer?
Mainly for using to control a LAME wav encode or mp3 decode conversions of a file while browsing in explorer.
Technically...what I'd love it to do is to just plain right click on a .wav and have a "create mp3 with LAME" option come up...then would control LAME to convert it without fighting the command line/shell.
Same also for decoding a mp3 to wav... to have a convert-back option also from there too.
I guess, potentially something might be able to be done with some batch filing somehow (where optioning of the LAME parms could be set) although am unsure on getting the function "inserted" into a file class'es set of options (what pulls up when right clicking).
Anywho... so anyone ever done this yet somewhere? Thanks for any info.
Full Version: Explorer Assoc w/Lame
dBpowerAMP Music Converter can do this. After the installation in the configuration window check the "'Convert To' on Explorer Right-Click" checkbox. Now you will have the option you want in Explorer.
Iīd suggest you take a look at dbPoweramp Music conververt
Itīs a free program that integrates itself into the "right-click-menu" and accesses i.e. lame.exe automatically with predefined --alt-preset switches. Many plugins for all common audio formats are available on the site.
If this shouldnīt fit your idea then you can check out RareWares MP3 section for lamedropXP or something. Pretty easy encoding/decoding tool.

Step 1: Save a plain text file to C:\bin\MP3toWAV.bat whose contents are:
@echo off
lame --decode %1
Step 2: Open up Tools-->Folder Options in any Explorer.
Step 3: Goto the File Types tab, select the MP3 extension and click Advanced.
Step 4: Click New. Name the new action "Convert to WAV" and make the application to perform the action:
When you get back to Explorer and right-click on any MP3 file, you will see your new "Convert to WAV" action that will use LAME to decode the MP3. You can even select multiple MP3 files and convert them all at once.
CODE
@echo off
lame --decode %1

That's what I was looking for. Knew there was a way to assign stuff...but has been some time since I'd looked into that area.
Thanks for the replies
