Good news.

I also went back and updated the entry a bit. I was under the impression this program was just an MP3 frontend, but its really taken off in terms of features and capabilities so I tried to make the entry better reflect that. This is clearly taking the place of LameDrop as well as XMediaRecode for my audio encoding/conversion.

Sweet. Great program gets better.

> Updated GnuPG to v1.4.12, compiled with GCC 4.6.1

Was wondering why you needed GPG:
Instead the latest version number will be downloaded from the server first and
will then be compared to your current version number on the local computer. Moreover all information obtained
from the update server are protected with a digital signature (GnuPG) in order to prevent spoofing attacks. [source]
Nifty.

Great news. Was looking forward to testing out the Opus codec for my own conversions. Thanks for the update and for letting us know.

Re: LameXP - Feature request

#29 Post by webfork »

Let me know if I should post a more formal feature request to your site:

Integrate a way to make things (other than MP3) go mono channel. I tried to set Channel Mode / Sampling Rate to mono, but that obviously doesn't affect Opus files. The only program I could find that converts to mono was Video to Video. As (in some cases) this can cut conversion time in half, this would be of real benefit to some users.

You are right. The "MP3 Channel Mode" option naturally only effects the MP3 encoder.

I cannot "extend" that option to also effect other encoders, because (a) not all encoders have such an option and (b) some modes like "(Forced) Joint Stereo" or "Dual Mono" obviously are MP3-specific.

There already is an option to force the Downmix of multi-channel sources to Stereo, which is realized with an additional SoX step. I could add a similar option to force Mono downmix, if people really need that.

(But we already have a "string freeze" for the upcoming v4.07, so this won't happen before v4.08)
