I think I now I understand what is going here! You not only selected the "overwrite existing file" mode, but you also made the output directory the same the input directory. That plus the fact, that your are converting to the same audio format as the input files are, results the in weird situation that the input and output files (paths) for this job are one and the same! This makes LameXP detect that the target output file already exists (which is correct) and thus delete that file (as desired by the user). Only that it's actually also the input file! Now, one could argue that this is simply a usage error, because the user is requesting the impossible. Nonetheless I will try to implement a workaround to detect and deal with this situation...

As long as people continue nagging me with their strange problems, it won't happen soon

I was just trying to replace in the same folder some flacs that had been encoded with "--compression-level-6" (or lower) with flacs that would be encoded with "--compression-level-8". I would normally end up with double the number of files and had to rename the new ones (because they would get a (2) in their name and manually delete the old ones) but then I stumbled upon the owerwrite option and said to myself: "Hey the program can do the renaming/deleting for me!" You know the rest |

Out of interest...
When generating FLAC encodes, would it be possible to add the 'Compression Level' (encoding settings) information to the files meta-data by default? In the same way this information is automatically added when generating APE encodes Cheers

(Either because the 'compression level' is not stored in the FLAC file or MediaInfo doesn't reveal it. In either case, the required changes are beyond my power)

A couple of weeks ago when I was trying to isolate some APE file playback issues with the Oppo hardware player, it was really useful knowing what APE 'Encoding settings' were used. Having the same facility for Flac files would be even more useful, given their much greater appeal. I wonder if the Flac developers would be interested in adding the info...

Have to give you a Rep, pretty fast encoding and using all my threads but no hyperthreading support. Please add that then I can have 8 threads instead 4. Also the path chooser is bit tedious, could you please give a option to make exact copy of the folder to the output folder? Ie If I want to copy folder and make 128kbit I want evertyhing in the folder and files encoded with 128kbit. Now I needed to make my own folders and browse to the folder with the chooser, and album art's were not copied...

With hyperthreading, there simply are twice the number of ("logical") CPU cores visible to the operating system than there are "physical" CPU cores. This allows for scheduling two threads per "physical" CPU core. The reasoning is that often a single thread doesn't fully utilize all the execution units of the CPU core. So by scheduling two threads on a single "physical" CPU core, these threads will share the available execution units, which can increase the utilization of these execution units and give a (small) overall speed-up. The only thing that an application must do in order to "support" hyperthreading is distributing the calculations among a sufficiently large number of threads - which may or may not be possible/reasonable. (There even are some highly optimized applications, such as Linpack, where hyperthreading is harmful) LameXP doesn't implement "multi-threading" on a per-thread basis, but by running multiple encoder instances (encoding jobs) in parallel. LameXP actually has zero control over how many threads a particular encoder (or decoder) will create. Anyway, the number of instances that will be run in parallel by default is inferred from the number of CPU cores. However, simply running one instance per CPU core is not a very good idea! On systems with a very large number CPU's this could easily result in HDD thrashing and actually slow-down the overall process. So we use some heuristic function that looks like this. In any case, you can manually set the number of parallel instances on the "Advanced Options", if you which to experiment. Quote:

Maybe add a separate option "Replace original file with the new encoded file" and maybe add a sub-option "Append ' - old version' to the file name of original file, instead of deleting it" or "Move original files to this folder : " ...
This way user can choose if he/she wants to risk losing the original file or not, let's say if he's paranoid and wants to double check if the new file is compressed correctly or not. |

v4.10 delay
Just to let you know: Things have been delayed because I have been sick with the flu. Spent most of the past week in bed. Things are back to normal now, but a lot of work has accumulated over the week, which I need to take care of first. So further delay is to be expected...

I'm curious what switches it sends to the Lame encoder. I set it up to use Version 3.98.4 -
any issue there in terms of the generated switches and compatibility ? My mp3 came out to be 5.39 MB. using compression/QL2 (default) and Advanced Option/High Quality (default). However, when I executed Lame from the command line using the same WAV file, I get an mp3 of 5.44 MB. Why the discrepancy ? Here's my command line: lame.exe -h -V 2 samp8.wav samp8_cmd_v2qh.mp3 |
