I want to compress audio tracks to MP3s, what do I need besides from EAC?
Remember that EAC does not supply a MP3 codec; you may use the LAME, Gogo or the BladeEnc DLL’s (or FAAC Dll for AAC compression) by copying them into the same directory where you copied EAC. Then you will be able to choose the installed DLLs in the compression option dialog box. Of course the quality of MP3 is based on the encoder and the bitrate you use. Beside the DLLs you could also specify external command line compressors that will be executed after an entire track was read (and not on-the-fly).
I’m trying to decode mp3 to wav’s but it keeps telling it can’t find codec. I know about the encoding dll issue, but this one has me stumped.
For decompression of MP3s the Fraunhofer MP3 Codec needed to be installed. It is sufficient to use the “advanced” Codec (not the “professional”
. The advanced codec is part of windows. On older windows it could be installed by updating the media player… (Should be updated with the other codecs). The installed codec should then be listed in EACs codec list.
