[General Options]

Output Folder:

Same as input file folder

   Specify all decoded waves are stored folder as input file folder

Output to a folder

Choose the directory where all decoded waves are stored.  By pressing "Choose", a directory-browsing dialog will appear and allow you to locate and select a new directory. If you change the directory, it will take affect when the next time starts to decode.  The default decode directory is "C:\My Music\Wave Files\".

Favorite brows folder

Allow you to locate and select folder that stored you favorite MP3 files, like 'C:\My Music\'.  By pressing "Choose", a directory-browsing dialog will appear and allow you to locate and select a new directory. If you change the directory, it will take affect when you click 'brows' button on toolbar, the default open folder is the directory.

Prompt before overwrite existing files

If this is checked, This program will ask you if you want to overwrite any existing wave files being converted. For example, if you had already converted "rockstone01.mp3" into "rockstone01.wav" and you were re-converting it, a dialog would confirm if wished to overwrite it.  By removing this checkbox, it will always overwrite and not bother to prompt you.

Normalize output files

Often MP3's are encoded with different volume levels. This program has an option to normalize the volume levels if the volume level of the record track is out of bounds.

Delete original file after successfully conversion !!!

If this is checked, automatically delete source file after successfully conversion.

[MP3 Encoder Options]

Easy MP3 Converter uses LAME MP3 encoder as default MP3 encode engine. LAME encoder is a freeware project which provides high compression speed and perfect sound quality, it supports VBR(Variable Bitrate) and many more features.

MP3 Quality Presets

Choose one presets, which mp3 encode quality you want.

Simple Rate

Simple Rate can be set to 48000Hz, 44100Hz(Default Simple Rate for Audio CD),  32000Hz, 25200Hz.

Bitrate (default value 128 kBits/s)

Determines the number of bits per second.

Mode (default value Stereo)

With the LAME encoder, you can specify how the file is encoded. The default stereo option is recommended, but at lower bit-rates, the Joint-stereo or Forced stereo can yield to better sound quality.

•	Stereo: In this mode, the encoder makes no use of potentially existing correlations between the two input channels. It can, however, negotiate the bit demand between both channels, i.e. give one channel more bits if the other contains silence.

•	Joint stereo: In this mode, the encoder will make use of a correlation between both channels. The signal will be matrixed into a sum ("mid") and difference ("side") signal. For quasi-mono signals, this will give a significant gain in encoding quality. This mode does not destroy phase information like IS stereo that may be used by other encoders. This setting can be used to encode DOLBY ProLogic surround signals.

•	force joint stereo:  This mode will force MS joint stereo on all frames. It's faster and it uses some special mid and side masking threshold.

•	Mono: This option will generate a mono file, if the input file is a stereo file, the input stream will be downlsampled to a mono file by averaging the left and right channel.

Enable VBR

VBR stands for Variable Bitrates, which is supported by LAME_Enc encode engine, when checked, LAME_ENC encoder will use VBR to compress the audio data.

Write VBR Header

when checked, LAME_ENC encoder will write XING's VBR header in the begin of output MP3 files

Max. Bitrate

The max. bitrate LAME_ENC will used when VBR is enabled.

MPEG Quality

The MPEG quality LAME_ENC will used when VBR is enabled.

VBR quality

The VBR quality LAME_ENC will used when VBR is enabled. 1 is the best quality while 9 is the worst.

Copyright, Original, Private, CRC

Change the Copyright,Original,Private, CRC bit in the MP3 files.
