Hooray! Finaly i was able to use MAREO with foobar2000! Here's my ini (mp3+FLAC):; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; NUMBER OF ZEROS TO PAD THE TRACK NUMBER (0 to disable) ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PaddingZeros = 2 ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; IS MAREO REQUIRED TO DELETE THE WAV FILE AFTER ENCODING (TRUE) OR THE CD RIPPER DOES (FALSE)? ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DeleteWavFile = FALSE ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; What char would be used to replace forbiden chars? ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CorrectionChar = _ ; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; MP3 LAME: best MP3 encoder: http://www.rarewares.org/mp3.html ; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXECUTEIF = TRUE FINALPATH = [MYMUSIC]\[ARTIST]\[[YEAR]] [ALBUM]\ FINALNAME = [ARTIST] - [TRACKPADDED] - [TITLE] VFINALPATH = [MYMUSIC]\VA\[[YEAR]] [ALBUM]\ VFINALNAME = [ARTIST] - [TRACKPADDED] - [TITLE] EXTENSION = mp3 ENCODEREXE = D:\Programme\foobar2000\lame.exe PARAMETERS = -V4 --vbr-new "[SOURCE]" "[DESTTMP]" RENAME = TRUE ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; FLAC: most supported lossless encoder: http://flac.sourceforge.net/ ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXECUTEIF = TRUE FINALPATH = e:\musikarchiv\[ARTIST]\[[YEAR]] [ALBUM]\ FINALNAME = [ARTIST] - [TRACKPADDED] - [TITLE] VFINALPATH = e:\musikarchiv\VA\[[YEAR]] [ALBUM]\ VFINALNAME = ARTIST] - [TRACKPADDED] - [TITLE] EXTENSION = flac ENCODEREXE = D:\Programme\foobar2000\flac.exe PARAMETERS = -8 "[SOURCE]" -o "[DESTTMP]" -T artist="[ARTIST]" -T album="[ALBUM]" -T title="[TITLE]" -T tracknumber="[TRACK]" -T date="[YEAR]" -T genre="[GENRE]" -T comment="ripped by start" -T totaltracks=[1] RENAME = TRUE ; EOF The trick was: foobar2000 expects the temporary mp3 to be placed in the destination directory after encoding. If i would tell MAREO not to rename the mp3 it would be placed in the foobar2000 directory after encoding (where MAREO and all needed encoders are placed). As the naming scheme set in the ini file is the same as set in f2k MAREO is renaming the mp3 exactly as f2k expects it to be named. So here your current manual is wrong (at least for f2k). The important things are (thanks to sh1leshk4 in the MAREO 4 thread): f2k will take care for the tags in the file whose extension is set in the f2k encoder settings Renaming for all encoded files schould be set to TRUE Naming schemes in MAREO and f2k (single tracks line) must be the same If encoding just one file the final path (for the file whose extension is set in f2k) should already exist. Choose this path for converter output In my ini i am using the [MYMUSIC]-parameter. After this parameter the naming scheme is identical to the one specified in f2k (under "single tracks"). So i have to tell f2k to place the output files in the [MYMUSIC]-folder if i want to convert more files at once. f2k then creates the temporary wave not directly in the [MYMUSIC]-folder but in subfolders created after f2k's "single tracks" naming scheme. MAREO then creates all temporary encoded files in the directory where mareo.exe is placed and after that puts them into the folders specified in the ini. So the mp3 gets placed where the temp wav is, f2k finds them, deletes the wav and adds tags to the mp3.
