[ About RightClick-MP3 v1.51 ] RightClick-MP3 by MrShannon is still FREEWARE
Mail: MrShannon@execpc.com Jan. 05, 1999 http://execpc.com/MrShannon
[ What is it? ]
You right click on a WAV file and choose "[- Encode this WAV into an MP3 -]"
OR You right click on an MP3 and choose "[- Decode this MP3 into a WAV -]"
You can also RightClick on a directory or drive, and choose to encode any WAV
files that are in that directory. All Method's of Encoding now have the option
to encode then delete the .WAV(s).
See the Features section below for more detailed information.
[ To Install... ]
Uninstall any older version.
Extract to a temp dir.
RightClick on Rc-MP3.inf and choose install.
[ Bug(s)? ]
The Uninstall does not delete the Rc-MP3 directory from Program Files.
There are no other known bugs. Please report any to MrShannon@execpc.com
[ Features ]
When encoding, the .mp3 file will be named exactly the same as the .wav, only
the extension changes to .mp3. This allows for a virtually infinite amount
of mp3's to be encoded.
RightClick-MP3 now uses Blade's Encoder (BladeEnc) v0.76. BladeEnc is several
times faster than the L3Encode v2.72 by Fraunhofer-IIS that was previously
used, yet the encoding quality is just as good. Sounds like a deal to me.
BladeEnc's Homepage: http://home8.swipnet.se/~w-82625/
Uses BladeEnc's default 128kbps bitrate when encoding. You can choose one
of the many bitrate's supported by BladeEnc by simply clicking on the one
you want that is listed in "Set Bitrate" under the RightClick-MP3 group in
your start button.
Now able to select the encoding priority by selecting it from the Rc-MP3
group in your start button. There are 6 different priority levels.
Now supports Batch Encoding by allowing the option to encode any .wav found
in a specific directory or root of a drive.
Also added the option of encoding the .wav(s) and then delete the .wav when
finished.
When decoding an .mp3, RightClick-MP3 can handle 31 new files so you don't
have to rename them right away. The files are named !New!, !New-01!,
!New-02! ...to... !New-30!
RightClick-MP3 uses L3Decode v2.72 by Fraunhofer-IIS to decode the .MP3's to
.WAV files. L3Decode is SHAREWARE and you are to register it if you use it
for more than 30 days. Your Registration status will not effect the quality
of the .WAV files produced, however, you will be confronted with a Nag Screen
when you try to Decode. Please read "Reg L3Decode" in your start button.
Fraunhofer-IIS Homepage (note - L3Encode and Decode are no longer available.
They have been replaced by MP3Enc): http://www.iis.fhg.de/amm/
Windows95/98 users get color ANSI in the messages (not supported on NT yet)
If you don't like the ANSI, just delete RcMP3ans.sys from c:\progra~1\Rc-MP3
See "Misc Notes" in the RightClick-MP3 group in your start button for other
miscellaneous info you may be interested in.
