Yep - you guessed it... I already sent it to Roberto so you may be able to get it at the usual place in a while, or just e-mail me.

In audio trading, quite a lot of people use "Shorten" (lossless) compression. Is there any chance you would consider obliging 'em? More information can be found here: http://etree.org/shncom.html

Is there a way you could create a universal frontend for audio compression codecs, or would that be more trouble than it's worth? I realize each codec may use a different method to report duration/remaining time to encode, but how much of this could be configured from a "Preferences" dialog?

Just curious. Thanks!

Sure, I think I can whip something out for Shorten. Actually, I've been thinking a LOT about doing a universal encoder idiot-proof GUI frontend too.

The file is already there.

(God, I can't look at that page anymore. I should design a new look ASAP, but I'm sooooo lazy...)

Anyway, regards

Roberto.

BTW, you can use PsyTELDrop with fastenc too...

Already updated. Thanks for the info.

Hi again. Thanks for your willingness to add Shorten to the list of encoders needing a frontend, layer3maniac (and if you could finish a general-purpose universal frontend, that would be most welcome)! I've checked the usual place - Roberto's - a few times since making the original request... are these still in progress?

After I checked a few of the other -Drop encoders you've written, I did have one nagging question: would it be possible to write these frontends such that they could be "skinnable"? Not criticizing your design... it's just that I'm not exactly a "Southpark" fan.

Yeah, I got a bit sidetracked on ShortenDrop. It's almost done though. Should be available by tomorrow. The Universal Frontend is about a month away. I have some specific features I want to implement. HEY :mad: Just kidding. They are already set up to allow you to change the picture which is displayed. Just use:

Options/Select New Image...

Oops... silly me! Guess I should have played around a bit more with those options before I mentioned it. :insane:

Thanks again - ShortenDrop will be *much* appreciated!

Sincerely,
