OPUS GUI or Fre:Ac integration for Windows?

What is the most straightforward way to use it in Windows? Haven't really find any.

Drag'n'drop?
These are really simple programs.

I also looked for some ways to convert.
OpusDropMP only accept WAV and fre:ac doesn't have Opus support.

Easiest is using foobar2000 and set up a conversion preset.


When I just need to convert a single file through Windows Explorer, I used http://www.lopesoft.com/en/filemenutools [ FileMenu Tools ] to make a custom context menu item.
I have created a .bat in the same folder as the decoder/encoder, that converts selected files through Windows Explorer's context menu.
Mostly I only got MP3s and using LAME for decoding them.

opus.bat:
Quote
lame --decode --silent "%~f1" "%temp%\%~n1.wav"
opusenc --bitrate 100 --vbr --ignorelength "%temp%\%~n1.wav" "%~dpn1.opus"
del "%temp%\%~n1.wav"

You can use TAudioConverter. It has both Opus support and menu integration.

Do you mean Drag'n'drop is the name of a specific software or what? Coul you explain what do you mean to like a 5-year-old? I truly appreciate you.

Andreasvb, ozok: thank you for your more actionable tips.

FWIW, LameXP has Opus integration for quite some time now...

Just a side note:
The development version of fre:ac has Opus support.

I've tried most programs but none (except foobar2000) can retain all tags from ID3 v2.3.

Will use that one for now. Got latest Opus encoder from LameXP.
