What do you mean with "usable"?
The highest "scaling" setting Windows allows me to select with my frumpy "Full HD" screen is 175% (probably equivalent to 168 DPI), and even with that setting I can see no serious problems with that setting: https://i.imgur.com/pd5EebK.png (expect maybe that the icons appear a bit small compared to the fonts)

Anyways, I think Windows 10 made some improvements on "High DPI" support compared to Windows 7. Looks pretty "okay" to me with Windows 10 and the "175%" settings: https://i.imgur.com/YAbzk8x.png

It's Win 10 (bought for 6,50 € on eBay).

For StaxRip rendering font symbols into bitmaps at run time has been working out well, fonts are vector graphics based I guess.
mkvtoolnix gui which is also qt based uses images, it does run time scaling I would guess, it looks OK: https://postimg.cc/LJ7Bvd3D

Redoes previously encoded files
I noticed that if I extract the audio from a flac cue file and recode the extracted WAV files to FLAC and then do another cue file, the audio files from the first cue file are done again, resulting in song (2).flac files.
Instead of doing that, might I suggest that the user is warned that such-n-such file has already been encoded and then get shown these typical four options: No - No to all - Yes - Yes to all Yes, the easiest way around this is to clear the list before doing the next one. But, if you forget, there is no way out of it. Just a user friendly suggestion. |

You can use the "Advanced Options" → "Rename Output Files" → "File Extensions" feature of LameXP in order to rename the files from ".mp4" to ".aac", but the content of the file would still be AAC stored in MP4 container! If ADTS (Audio Data Transport Stream) format is what you desire, then you can try to use QAAC encoder and manually add the "--adts" option to "Custom Encoder Parameters".

Thanks! It turned out that it is better to change to *.mp4a (Jet Audio does not see a simple *.mp4).
Is there a cover shutdown? The option of the AAC encoder is available > check the availability of the update > sometimes I get a connection error with the server (maintenance at night?)> reboot LameXP v4.17 Final - AAC is blocked (unlocking occurs after a successful connection with the server).

Well, I have to rely on a bunch of "free" web-hosting offerings, which can be slow or even unavailable at peak times. Therefore, LameXP has a built-in list of many update mirrors. It will continue to pick a random mirror from the list until it has found a "working" one. That is why you may see individual mirrors fail, but sooner or later the update check should always succeed. Anyhow, I don't see how all that is related to AAC encoders! If LameXP finds a supported AAC encoder in its install directory during startup, then the AAC encoding option will be enabled. Otherwise it won't. That's it (Launch LameXP with option "--console" for more details)

Delete album image
Disabled. The check at the AAC encoders was skipped! In the folder were enc_fhgaac.dll, fdkaac.exe, fhgaacenc.exe, qaac64.exe

To make it clear again: LameXP looks for one of the supported AAC encoder in its install directory at startup. If and only if a supported AAC encoder is found, then AAC encoding support will be enabled. Otherwise it won't. Note that if multiple encoders are available, then QAAC takes precedence over FDKAAC, FDKAAC takes precedence over FhgAacEnc, and FhgAacEnc takes precedence over NeroAAC. (As said before, launch LameXP with option "--console" to get more details)

What are these "precedence" decisions based upon? Audible encoding quality? I think there is general consent that QAAC beats all its competitors, but FDKAAC above FhgAacEnc? Highly questionable. And NeroAAC getting the red lantern is also disputable. At least at "normal" bitrates it is certainly every bit as good as the Fraunhofer offerings. Just my two cents... |

As you say, most people seem to agree that QAAC (Apple AAC) is superior these days. And Nero AAC consistently takes the last place, when compared to QAAC and FhG AAC. Not quite sure about "FhG" flavors (FDKAAC vs. FhgAacEnc). But considering that FDKAAC is available as OpenSource, whereas the FhgAacEnc DLL needs to be "exfiltrated" from old versions of Winamp and hasn't been updated in years... Anyhow, the precedence is not all that important! It's only needed for conflict resolution, if more than one encoder happens to be present. LameXP will always show what encoder it is using, on the "Compression" tab. You can easily correct things, if it is not using the intended AAC encoder. Just install whatever AAC encoder you wish to use, and that's it

I have been using LameXP to convert a bunch of wav files to mp3. I noticed that it appears to be assigning a track volume. I am not sure why it is doing this since I don't have normalization checked and haven't changed any of the default settings.
I converted a test track and it assigned -10.0dB. I converted the same track with Audacity and Foobar and it left that tag blank. I am viewing the tags in MediaMonkey. When played the LameXP converted track is quieter than the other two as expected. I can delete the tagged value and the song returns to normal volume, but any idea why this is happening? I expected a raw conversion with no added tweaks to the sound. |

This made me curious, so I converted a WAV to MP3 using standard settings. No normalizing. The log looks like this:

ReplayGain normalization happens, if at all, at playback time. So, IMO, there are only two possible situations:
tl;dr If you don't like ReplayGain processing, then disable it in your playback software
