BladeEnc is a program to generate MP3 files from WAV or AIFF sound files. BladeEnc is available for most modern computer platforms, including Windows, Linux, BeOS, UnixWare, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS/2 and many more. BladeEnc is free software distributed under the LGPL license and the sourcecode is available from my homepage for those who might be interested.
Windows users will find that it looks like a DOS-program, but it is in fact a true 32-bit Windows application that supports long filenames etc. This textbased interface might be a bit harder for the beginner, but makes it easy to make automated scripts (like BAT-files) to perform your tasks and makes BladeEnc a doodle to port to all modern operating systems except Mac. A large selection of graphical frontends are available from my homepage for those who prefer to do their encoding just by moving and clicking their mouse.
Our Review: An interesting MP3 encoder that initially comes in a DOS based environment but with access to user based Graphical User Interfaces. Not bad once you get the hang of the command line arguments.
