Yes, CDRipper is now properly recognizing Japanese characters when querying DB. Though there is a weird issue... it only seems to be ripping track count - 1, do you have an index error somewhere?

Converting now works as expected for me, verify+md5sum and sums match out of the box. But maybe do add the MT switch for TAK encoding, it should be useful in the future anyway. Now the only things I'm really missing is depth adjustment for folder tree copying and ape tags ^^

Some thoughts:

- why not generate as many command lines as there are processes and start encoding, generating the rest in the background? Won't make it faster, but it will _appear_ to be faster. Which is also important
- I don't know if it's possible, but an option to "move/copy other files/folder from input directory" would be great to have - for example, I have a "Files" folder in each album directory which contains the cuesheet, accurip, log and the scan files, in some cases another subfolder with the DVD_VIDEO, etc.

edit:
- for the CD ripper, some sort of CTDB+AccurateRipDB querying would be nice to have.

Has there been an update. The 64 bit version was stopping after 8 files and there is no support for 12 thread processors. I had to switch back to the 32 bit software.
Having said that, it is a fantastic conversion tool which otherwise is flawless and gives optimal quality files. Thank you for your hard work.

Latest beta seems good  But I noticed some strange behavior with TTagger:
Original FLAC: Track: 1, Total tracks: 12, Disc: 1, Total discs: -
Output Opus using TTagger: Track: 1, Total tracks: - , Disc: 1, Total discs: 1
It removes the "Total tracks" tag, and fills "Total discs" with "1"

I tried to change total disc to "2" before converting. Output, TTagger inserted "1" instead.
Hope you'll fix that issue, and make TTagger also transer the "Total Tracks" tag

Thanks for testing the beta everyone.

@ChronoSphere I've fixed cd ripper error. As you said it was some stupid little index problem.
@eahm I'll add custom opiton box for each encoder, maybe you can write it there?
@kennedyb4 max. parallel process count will be 16 instead of 8.
@o-l-a-v "Total Tracks" value is definitely extracted from source. TAC tries to insert default values when a tag is empty so I'm guessing this is why some fields are created when they don't exist in the source.

Is multi codec encoding still planned for?

That would work too of course ...actually even better

Do you mean selecting different options for each file in the list? If so, no. Not at the moment anyway.

@eahm I thought it would give advanced users more flexibility  And also it would save me lots of work

Hmm, as soon as I add a custom option to takc.exe, TAC fails to do anything. Says it cannot write the temp files. The option I tried is valid (-tn4).

edit: looks like takc doesn't like custom arguments placed after the filenames: 
-e -p4e  -overwrite -md5  -v  "R:\TEMP\TAudioConverter\{4FD94099-272E-4E53-8560-7E7B0D6A6FA0}.wav" "R:\\\zacate\Music (Azure)\Accel World\Accel World OST feat. onoken\{20DE8EFF-CDE8-4E5F-BDD5-318A90D909E7}.tak"  -tn4
Command line error: too many file parameters

Dude, I've found the strangest bug in your latest beta: Converting flac to mp3, where TTagger actually switches place between artist and track title! It has happened twice, I had to double check on this strange error.



Settings: http://pastebin.com/aHEGFRW6
Encoder1: http://pastebin.com/72iYkY0q

One more thing. Encoder1-log says TAC recognizes the tags "total tracks", "disc", "comments" and "total discs". Can't you please make it write those to the output file?
Comment is written, but to a <COMMENT COMMENT> tag according to foobar. The actual COMMENT slot is empty. Not using the stock comment tag?

Thanks o-l-a-v, I'm re-uploading setups etc. I'm using tag fields listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3 I'll see what I can do about total tracks and discs later.

12 processes working well. Fantastic speed bump there. Thanks. Only thing I have noticed is that encoder info does not show up when info is checked using Itunes.

@kareha that's really cool. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the suggestion.

@kennedyb4 no problem. I have a quadcore system so increase didn't make much change for me but glad it works for you well.

Hello! It's great that Tau has been greatly improved, but I'm not sure about the new interface. Apart from the visual part, I'd like to mention two issues:

1. Normally, I convert into AC3, and now under settings, there's a "Dialogue normalization" feature. The default value, for some reason, isn't 0, and I can't set it to 0 either. Is there anything I'm not considering here?

2. Also, I don't know how to change the effects ("guard against clipping", etc). (Incidedantly, I'd like to ask if "guard against clipping" should always be set to "true".)

Thank you for time and help!

Thanks all for using the new version. I've alread started for working on the next release.

@Vivadavid
1 - I used values stated in the FFMpeg manual. Dialog norm. values range between -31 and -1 and -31 is the default value. I can add an option to disable it all together.
2 - You check "Enable" and set other values. I don't remember why "Guard against clipping" was checked as default but I think it was something the community suggested.
I think new UI is tidier.

@eahm thanks, I should have checked that one myself. Anyway, it'll be updated in the next release.

@o-l-a-v IIRC the previous update was last summer so lots of changes accumulated! Seriously, thank you all, I couldn't come up with the 80% of the TAC's features if you guys hand't suggested them.

@mudlord I considered this before. I think I'll do this if ad-support route doesn't work out.

Thank you for your quick answer.

1. Yes, it'd be great if there was an option to disable normalization, as normalizing in my opinion, doesn't make much sense when dealing with videos: correct me if I'm wrong, please. By the way, the way it works now, you can't disable it (there's always a value different from 0), and yet, the Options summary always indicates "normalize: false".

2. I still don't know how to check "enable" to be able to change the value of "Guard against clipping" and other features.

Thanks again!

1 - 0 isn't in the option's allowed value range, it is between -1 and -31 so you can't set it to 0. I don't know if setting it to -31 (default value) has the same effect as not setting at all but since it is default, it should be. "Normalize: False" at the right shows the state of the normalization option at the "Audio Effects/filters" window, not AC3's option.

You could hardcode a check a la if(value >= 0) normalization=false or something.

1. It'd be great if other people could give us some information about the normalization values, especially if -31 means there's no normalization. In any case, if you're going to add an option to disable, that's great.

2. At last, I found it! It was on the tool bar under "Filters" (I was looking somewhere else). By the way, one of the filters reads "Change volume". Isn't it the same as (or at least, very similar to) normalization?

Thanks!
