Short: GUI 4 Ncode, MusicIn, Lame, BladeEnc, Pegase, Mpega, MP3Enc
Author: Daniel Westerberg (deniil@algonet.se)

Version: 2.07
Type: mus/misc
*** THIS IS A RE-RELEASE OF TheMPegEncGUI v2.07 because the ***
*** last release didn't contain the lastest locale edition! ***
This is a Graphical User Interface - GUI (MUI) that you can use to simplify
your work when you're encoding Mpeg Audio (MP3) with some of the most
popular CLI-based Mpega Audio encoders on the Amiga!
You can easily create a filelist and then execute it to encode alot
of file over the night or so!
The ID3-tagging is superb when you are using a list!
You can set individual ID3-tags for every file, or the same tag with
only Title differing for a whole bunch of files!
There are also some "intelligent" string extracting feature to use
when setting ID3-tags :-)
The GUI can be totally, or partly hidden (only showing progress)
when encoding!
News & Features:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* NEW * Added some options for BladeEnc.
* NEW * Moved the encoder paths to the Prefs making the main
window a bit smaller.
* NEW * A few other smaller changes and fixes.
v2.06
** The sliders concerning the VBR thing for Lame now each
have thier own activation checkmark. Appearently some
of the settings didn't work together..
** The "Use ID3 tag" switch on the Mpega page was irrelevant
and therefor cause some confusion in the program so I have
now removed it.
v2.05
* Added the DELETE option for Pegase!
* Now TheMPegEncGUI asks you to change the extensions of the
files in the list if you switch between the Mpega page and
some encoder page.
* I've added some new options for Lame.
* The filepattern was not allways remembers and saved as it
was supposed to.
* Fixed a bug which caused Lame to never write the ID3-track no.
* The requesters, including the file-requesters, will now always
open on the same screen TheMPegEncGUI is opened on.
To make the console open on that same screen too you can add
/SCREEN PUBSCREENNAME to the end of the Text Output string.
v2.04
* Added a few simplifying menu-options that you can use when
setting ID3-tags to your files, wether it will be previously
encoded files or not.
* Fixed a bug with a failure that was never reported if
an ID3-tag could not be set.
* Fixed a bug with the bitrate settings that was saved
but not used.
* Fixed a bug with the Output format settings for Mpega that
was saved but not used.
* If you change the Pattern-field in the file-requester, it will
now be remembered and saved if you save settings!
* Fixed a bug which made it impossible to save a list with
ID3-tags with an unknown genre.
v2.03
* Now TheMPegEncGUI is a full featured ID3-tag editor!
You can now set/edit the ID3-tag of allready encoded files.
Just flip to the Mpega page and select an input file or
go to the list and add files. The tagging is done the same
way as before but with the difference that you don't need
to encode the files to set the tag!
* Fixed alot of small bugs with the list and the ID3-tagging.
I can't believe some of the bugs that slipped through!
* Now using BetterString.mcc in most stringgadgets!
v2.02
* If TheMPegEncGUI always crashed for you it should not do
so anymore! It was a stack problem. I doubled the stack for
the sub-process and it worked so I trippled it in this final
release just for safety!
* Now you can set ID3-tags individually for every file, or
you can set one tag for a group of files and use the filename
as ID3-Title!
* The progress time report has been improved alot (again) and
now the time is calculated immediately when you add files
to the list wether an encoding process is running or not!
The time factor (encode/play) is also saved when you save
prefs so that time estimates will be more accurate the next
time you encode!
* You can save the list with ID3-tags in textformat and
maybe edit the file by hand and then reload it!
* The ID3-genres is now sorted :)
* Now ID3-tags can be set no matter what encoder you use!
If you use an encoder that doesn't support ID3-tagging
TheMPegEncGUI will do the tagging itself!
* A little bug fixing here and there..
v2.01
* The progress time report has been rewritten and now works
quite well I must say!
* You can now choose what flag(s) you you would like to
use when sending break to an encoder.
Before it was just Ctrl-C.
* Now the application get properly iconified if you close
every window, before the windows was just hidden!
* Included a 147 items long genre list for the encoders that
support ID3-tagging!
* TheMPegEncGUI has been tested with the latest Lame v3.70.
v2.0
* Now TheMPegEncGUI is finally in MUI!
Please give me your suggestions on improvements of the
layout of this new GUI.
* The encoders are now executed completely asynchronus
and can therefor be interrupted anytime by pressing
a button in the GUI!
* Added a few more options of LAME v3.63 ▀eta.
v1.53
* TheMPegEncGUI became key-mail ware.
* Fixed a bug which cause files to be deleted after they
where played by Mpega!
* Lame commandline was incomplete! Fixed.
* Fixed alot of other bug. (I haven't had the time to do extensive
bugtesting for like 8 month!)
* Added two "undocumented" switches for Lame.
* Colours added to the date/time info that is written to the
output when encoding.
v1.52
* The opened/closed state of the console is saved.
* Fixed the bug with the config which made mostly
Pegase and BladeEnc to get the wrong settings!
v1.51
* Now you can use the ID3 TAG settings when encoding
with Lame (v3.50)!
v1.50
* Now supporting BladeEnc!
* You can open and close the output (console) manually if you want!
* I have made a little "process manager" to use when
breaking an encoder or something! (If someone knows
how to extract the name out of a CLI process I would
be glad to hear..!)
* Actual parameters is shown in the GUI!
* It doesn't specifies default values unless you want it to!
* Ncode is now supported!
* Lame(r) 3 supported!
* You can have the files saved in the same drawer
they came from when using the list, instead of having
all files end up in the same drawer!
* You can set the stacksizes of the encoders!
* You can select many files in a list and
encode them in one stroke!
* You can have the source-file(s) deleted if you want!
* You can have date and time written in the output to be
able to see how long time the file(s) took to compress!
* You can select output, to send it to KingCON och to a file..!
* You can print the commandlines to the encoder if you want
to compress your files without the GUI!

Currently supported decoder:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Mpega - (68k, PowerUP, WarpOS)

http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminet/dirs/aminet/util/libs/mpega-WarpUP.lha
What systems these encoders actually work with am I not quite sure of,
so don't be alarmed if it says (above) that an encoder doesn't work
on a particular system (PowerUP, WarpOS..), cause it might, or might
not..!
There might also be other ports of some encoders that this program
is not fully compatible with!
If anyone would come up with some other encoder I don't know about
and you want a GUI for it, just tell me where to get it and it
might end up in TheMPegEncGUI v2.1 :-)
Registration:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TheMPegEncGUI is Key-mail Ware which means that you have
to send me an e-mail with your name to get a key-file so
you can get rid of all annoying requesters and text! :-)
It's absolutely free, I just want to know how many cool
users I've got :-)
Please use the Easy register that pops up when you start the
program. You can also reach it from the Project menu in the
program.
Your name will ofcource not be used for anything else
than to create your personal keyfile which will be sent
back to you ASAP.
- And don't forget your NAME! Otherwise I can't generate a keyfile!
NOTE: If you have problem to get TheMPegEncGUI started, it's probably
because it can't fit on your screen :-(
It's virually impossible to get all Lame and Mpega settings to
fit in 640*200 or similar.
But if you can set smaller checkmark images in you default MUI
it might help.
