MP3 Encoder

MP3 Encoder enables you to convert a variety of audio formats to MP3 using a simple front-end to the high-quality LAME encoder. MP3 Encoder can also be used as a simple MP3 tag editor!

 

Features

• Supports Multi-Threading! Encode multiple MP3s at once, up to the number of processor cores your system has.

• Reads and Writes Meta-data! Reads meta-data from the source file and writes it to the MP3 file. You can also enter your own meta-data via a pull-out drawer.

• Converts songs bought on iTunes to MP3 and retains the metadata.

• Edit metadata of existing MP3 files without re-encoding.

• Also supports re-encoding exsting MP3 files.

WHAT’S NEW

Version 2.20.0:

NEW

• Import raw PCM and recovered SD2 files. Drop a .raw or .pcm file, or a Sound Designer II file whose resource fork has been stripped, and supply sample rate, bit depth, and channel count in a single sheet.

• Smarter file-type detection. Audio files are now recognized by their contents rather than their extension, so files with the wrong extension or no extension at all import cleanly. The Open panel includes an “All Files” toggle for picking extensionless audio.

• Source-file tags pass through to converted files, with cross-format equivalents mapped automatically so metadata carries through the conversion intact.

• Multi-value tag support. Fields like Composer, Artist, and Album Artist that carry multiple values in the source file are joined for display and split back into multiple values on save. A new Multi-Value Separator setting (Settings, Metadata) lets you pick which separator to use.

• Configurable sample-rate conversion quality and bit-depth dith
