I would like to introduce my project called BatchEncoder (formerly known as theFrontend).
BatchEncoder is an audio files conversion software. It supports most of popular audio file formats including lossy and lossless compression. The program is very simple to use. BatchEncoder is basically GUI front-end for command-line tools. All it does is create background processes and pass arguments to it with options set in presets/format menu and additionally adds input and output file paths. For specific options for each format use help available for command-line tools.
Features:
- Front-end for command-line tools.
- Supports popular audio formats.
- File transcoding between audio formats.
- Multi-threaded conversion.
- Full UNICODE support.
- Multi-language user interface.
- Out of the box configuration for new users.
- Advanced options for experienced users.
- Open-source, fast and simple.

Firstly, thanks for providing this tool. I've downloaded, and am just about to have a quick play.
I see no mention of tags. Are tags transferred? If so, I think you should add it to the blurb.
@Synthetic Soul
Tags are not transferred, but I was thinking about this feature. The problem is I am using only command-line tools while working with audio files. Nothing is done in program (theForntend is only a frontend, this is the basic concept of program) that might change contents of the file. So I need some tagging tool to transfer tags. This way I would extract tag from input file before conversion and add tag after conversion to output file.
Any suggestion from your side about command-line tagging tool? From my side I can without any difficulty this feature.
Thanks,
wisodev
didnt someone create a cl program called tag that dealt with tags? I forget.
yup.....
Check Synthetic Soul's website....
No offense intended but, aren't there already a lot of front-ends out there?
I mean, foobar2000 and/or MediaCoder cater to most encoding/transcoding
needs as it is. Will this front-end offer something new?
@yourtallness
Please try this program before suggesting anything, then we can discus about yours concerns. No offense from my side too.

Tag (http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Tag.exe) can handle FLAC, Vorbis, APEv2 and ID3v1 tagging. Tycho's metamp3 (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=49751) looks good for writing ID3v2 (and ID3v1) tags. In fact, it has the --fit switch which is my preferred method of tagging with LAME: ID3v1 with ID3v2 only where necessary. The Nero AAC encoder has it's own separate tagger IIRC. I dunno, but with Vorbis, ID3 and APE tags covered that's all or most I think. Maybe there could be some way of linking a format to it's tagger? There's also the possibility of tagging while encoding, with apps like FLAC, LAME, WavPack, etc. Tag will read all the tag types listed above, so maybe it could be used as the reader? Just a few hastily-thrown-together thoughts.

Although foobar is also, theFrontend seems extremely extensible, so obscure encoders not already covered (e.g.: speex) can easily be added, new presets created, and most importantly
shared (as they are XML they can even easily be posted to a forum thread). Many people still use MultiFrontend even though we have foobar and MediaEncoder...
@Synthetic Soul
About tags:
The main problem with tagging using external command-line tools is preservation of characters in different code pages. Windows uses current code page of your locale (you can change this, but this is not usable for theFrontend purposes) and I need UTF-8 or even Unicode character to be send via command-line. The best solution would be using internal manipulation of tags done by theFrontend.
About extensibility of theFrontend:
Currenlty there are some dependencies in source code about way the cl tools are handled. I will remove all this later and enable adding easily new formats and rules of handling them.
PS.
theFrontend works on Windows 95, 98 and any later Windows version, the compatibility is one of main goals, it works fine even under linux using wine.
Very nice program, wisodev! You can't have too many good encoder frontends
Been using it for a few hours, and I will post feedback to this thread.
I tried it out earlier today and liked it very much, very stable IMO for an alpha build - I was waiting for a crash or something and it never happened, good work!
Although I do miss automatic tagging, albeit I do still use Tag Frontend w/Tag for all that.
@Andavari
The program is in alpha stage, but it was tested be me so much that beta would be good option too.
I would be interested if this could run natively on Linux. I've no idea what that would involve since I don't know how many of the backends are open source/run on Linux...

Well theFrontend is written in C++ with MFC and I can't compile it natively for linux. But it runs well with WINE. The backends can be (or should be) also Win32 executables and it all works well (there are some issues with FAAC/FAAD but Nero command-line encoders/decoders are working good here) under linux. I have tested this under Debian, Suse and currently under Ubuntu linux distros.
Hey yeah I forgot about this. Any progress?
Hey yeah I forgot about this. Any progress?
The program is under development and new version will come out soon with upgraded codecs configuration. I am planing to release package (installer) with some free encoders/decoders properly configured to use with theFrontend. I will post the news in this topic.
Thanks,
wisodev
Sorry, I mis-read this. MediaCoder is the program that starts a webserver on port 19819, and also causes Kaspersky AV software to go nuts, claiming it contains a trojan download program.
New version 0.0.0.2 is available for download (https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=158644&package_id=177889&release_id=552783).
Changelog:
- Added Nero AAC encoder support for .mp4 and .m4a output files.

After very long break in development of the theFrontend I started again and new options and new formats will be added in near future.
wisodev, just a word regarding the form layout... It seems to me that you may have the "preset" and "encoder" lists in reverse order. Were it me, considering standards, I would place the greater dominant factor to the left and the lesser dominant factor to the right.
Anyhow, it's just a suggestion. Best of luck to you.

Is the placement of preset and format lists an usability problem or only a formal problem. I am pretty much used to this layout and so I do not find it confusing or unusable. It is trivial to change this anyway.
Thanks for feedback and I will think more about it
i have only one problem with this right now: it's win-only
wisodev, I'm not sure whether to describe it as a formal or a usability problem. I just think it makes more sense the other way around. In any event, I don't mind too much whether it's switched one way or the other. I just figured I'd recommend. =)
After very long break in development of the theFrontend I started again and new options and new formats will be added in near future.
I am so happy to hear this! Good on you, wisodev
i have only one problem with this right now: it's win-only
I second this one. On Linux it's a serious problem getting any transcoding properly running with external encoders, especially in the cases of non-free formats. For me it's Nero AAC which causes serious issues, because practically any Linux transcoder only flawlessly works with FAAC instead. Support for Nero AAC has to be scripted externally in all applications I'm aware of, causing further problems concerning the tags' retention.
wisodev, very nice program! Works well, quick, and easy to use. I would like to suggest that you consider the ability to convert from FLAC images+cue to mp3 separate tracks in your development.

Sorry no plans for linux/unix/macosx version (well you can ask microsoft if he will support this platforms in visual c++ )
Only way here is to use wine+theFrontend

Can you recommend any command line tool that can do this?

wisodev -- have been using theFrontend for 6 months or so - very nice program IMO (and recommended (http://www.giantpygmy.net/sections/play/encsoftware.html)) - however, though I'm used to it now - I agree with dizzko about the dropdown order and it still occasionally catches me out -- I'll click on the preset dropdown when going to select the codec (format). It's not a huge deal but placing "the greater dominant factor to the left and the lesser dominant factor to the right" makes sense to me from a usability point of view --e.g. I want an MP3 (first) at x bitrate (second).
Good to see development continues!

Could you please add the DSF and DFF extensions as input? I've just tested compressing some files with these extensins and the latest wavpack 5.1 and it works great as loing as I previously rename the files to a valid input extension like .wav but it will be far more conveninent if it could be done without that step.
Great app BTW, thanks!

To add DSF and DFF extensions as input I need existing command-line tool with support of decoding those files to WAV file.

Looks like wavpack as of version 5.0 does support .dsf and .dff input files. I will add support for this extensions, but only for wavpack output.

The latest CI server builds of BatchEncoder have DSF and DFF extensions support.
Thanks again, it now works great.
Probably me not knowing what I am doing, but I simply can not get anything apart Error from ape to flac attempted conversion.
Not even log gets created
Latest x64 CI on W10 x64
I add .ape select flac as destination, chose destination folder for conversion, chose console.log location, click convert,. Error. Nothing else

Beofore using BatchEncoder you have to configure command-line tool path for format. To do this you go to Options menu and use Configure formats... dialog window.
Download links for command-line tools: https://github.com/wieslawsoltes/BatchEncoder/wiki/Tools or you can try using included download.ps1 script.
Quick video demonstrating how-to use Configure formats... dialog window: https://youtu.be/6VCvEv0P_c0
By default BatchEncoder is configured to search for command-line executable in BatchEncoder.exe directory or directory relative to.
The console.log is used for logging command-line tool output only not program log.
I have all tools downloaded (in that case mac & flac executables) in same folder as encoder exe

Hi
First , thank you so much for the beautiful program!
do you have a plan to include trim silence at the beginning and the end of the track?
and release a full portable stealth , no file left or registry keys left?
thanks you so much :)
do you have a plan to include trim silence at the beginning and the end of the track?
BatchEncoder is a front-end for command-line tools, if encoder supports this via command line switch than you can configure format by adding additional command-line option, otherwise I think that's not possible (at least with current version, you can not chain more command line tools together, maybe I will add this in future).
and release a full portable stealth , no file left or registry keys left?
There is already available portable version for download at BatchEncoder website https://github.com/wieslawsoltes/BatchEncoder#release-builds use Portable type. It does not touch registry or any system files.
Thank you very much for this wonderful program,
@wisodev ! May I ask when the 1.0 builds will be made available for download?

The final version 1.0 has a lot of improvements over the alpha versions that have been available from CI server. Especially regarding error messages (displayed in status column) and validation of input formats configuration and converted files during conversion processs. Also it should be much more stable when handling errors. I have also added new formats like qaac AAC encoder support and ffmpeg decoders.
Very nice. I love it!
Question...when I tried it, the encodes did not copy ID3 tags from the original file. Is there an option for this?
thanks again!

Thanks.
Tag transferring is not yet supported, its in my TODO list, any suggestion how to achieve this by only using command-line tools would be welcome.
Adding tag support can lead to a lot of work for you but will be nice to have.
I still use frontah because it copies tags or can create some from the folder/file structure.
Tag.exe can create tags from folder/file for several sorts of tags. For flac to flac re-encoding metaflac should work.
I guess there are many pitfalls about field names, conventions and format specific things.
Good luck :)

May I ask that system path support be added? At the moment, I can launch lame.exe, mpcenc.exe, etc. from a command prompt without specifying the full path. However, I have to provide the full path in BatchEncoder's encoder settings, otherwise it throws an 'encoder not found' error.
The system is Windows 8.1 x64, and other programs work fine in this respect.

Oh my fault, I did not think about system path, I was only using relative path or absolute path in my testing. Currently I am checking if executable file exists, but this fails when its in system path (but creating process works).
I will remove the executable file exists checks and only display error when process could not be started.
@Compact Dick
Could you try latest CI build https://github.com/wieslawsoltes/BatchEncoder#ci-builds , your issue with system path should be fixed.

Can confirm this build works. Thanks for the quick fix!
Now, may I suggest some new features? No rush, but they would tremendously improve BatchEncoder's value and usability:
- support for transcoding (from FLAC, for example), using existing decoders
- cuesheet support (saves the step of having to slice FLAC+CUE archives into individual WAV files
- tagging support
Many thanks again! I'll keep using BatchEncoder every now and then, and provide feedback if it's useful/relevant.

No problem.
Now, may I suggest some new features? No rush, but they would tremendously improve BatchEncoder's value and usability:
Yes, please feel free to suggest any new features.
support for transcoding (from FLAC, for example), using existing decoders
This should be already possible by properly configured formats, specifically Input extensions, output extensions and type.
Edit: I should add that default Encoder and Decoder formats are already configured for most common trans-coding format configurations.
BatchEncoder checks input file extensions and if Encoder format input extension does not match the input file extension (see format definitions for encoders, Input and Output extensions, you can provide multiple input extensions e.g.: WAV,WV,CAF,W64,DFF,DSF, but only one output extension e.g. WV) than BatchEncoder will search for Decoder that supports this input file extension, if decoder is not found error will be displayed.
cuesheet support (saves the step of having to slice FLAC+CUE archives into individual WAV files
I will have to investigate, please keep in mind that my goal with BatchEncoder is not only use command-line tools. Any suggestion are welcome regarding command-line tools.
tagging support
Yes, its on my TODO list, by this one will be hard and may not be possible for all formats (limitation of tools).
Many thanks again! I'll keep using BatchEncoder every now and then, and provide feedback if it's useful/relevant.
Feedback is valuable for me, thanks!
... you can provide multiple input extensions e.g.: WAV,WV,CAF,W64,DFF,DSF, but only one output extension e.g. WV) than BatchEncoder will search for Decoder that supports this input file extension, if decoder is not found error will be displayed.
Fantastic. That solves one issue.
... please keep in mind that my goal with BatchEncoder is not only use command-line tools. Any suggestion are welcome regarding command-line tools.
Fair enough. Shall keep that in mind.
[Tagging support] is on my TODO list, by this one will be hard and may not be possible for all formats (limitation of tools).
That's fine, too. Not absolutely vital, just convenient.
Cheers!

I've reported the applicable file (Win32 portable) to Avira as a potential false positive, but I leave it up to them to determine if some part of the application's source code also triggers that signature.
The 64 bit versions also trigger an obscure Chinese scanner. None of them trigger any other scanners, at least according to VirusTotal.

Does it support the conversion of cue+flac (single image) and embedding of album artwork (folder.jpg, for example) at the conversion stage? Thanks

Got it, figured for the first one, even the second? Fair enough anyway, no big deal. Thanks again for another great front end, I still like and use foobar2000 for almost all my audio needs but many people will find BatchEncoder very useful.

Not sure what this should do: create folders like the mp4 i can find in winamp
ps qaac doesn't work status error:progess did not reach 100% , but i have put the same files i have in foobar
Did you download qaac using Configure tools dialog? The executable is not installed when you install BatchEncoder, you have to download it and configure path if its different than default.

The download location is "%appdata%\BatchEncoder" for installed version, for portable is "tools" folder located in same folder as BatchEncoder.exe.
The monkey encoder is downloaded as installer, just download it and run installer, install to default location. If you install in different location use Configure formats dialog to set mac.exe path https://github.com/wieslawsoltes/BatchEncoder#configure-formats.

Developer - please add option to change bit depth. Thanks, I like this program,
Also to extract the raw .aac audio from an m4a.
What command line can I use in this GUI to convert 24 bit to 16 bit? I tried -s16, but it still converts through as 24 bit.
What are you even talking about? Lossless formats should not change bit depth, and lossy formats don't tend to have a bit depth at all, because they tend to be floating point.
