What programs do you guys use to encode MP3's?
I'm looking for a decent Wave File to MP3 encoder. I know you can find some free ones on the web but I'm looking for one that you can have some type of control or editing functions.
Any suggestions?
yeah, I'm using lame mp3 encoder too. works well for me.
Thanks for the suggestions but I'm looking for something with a graphics interface. Drag and drop kind of stuff. I'm going to be using it with a few other people and I need it to be as simple as possible.
Do you guys know of anything else?

drag and drop, with a drop down quality box wav aiff to mp3 only
http://www.etree.org/software/mkw-mfc42.exe
made to convert to shorten format, but also does wav to mp3
CDeX is free and works great. No setup, no hassle...
I usually just use iTunes now. But Wimpy gets the job done as well. They make a good web player too.
i use media monkey, it uses lame.
gotta pay for it to get ripping after 30 days though.
Musicmatch Jukebox works.
But Wimpy gets the job done as well. They make a good web player too.
actually they make a great web based flash mp3 player lol, one of the better 30 bucks ive ever spent. works great for simple usages and my crappy mp3 uploading/streaming/ranking system that is fairly complex lol....
if i was better at windows based programming, id knock one out really fast, i dont see how hard it could be, just passing varibles from a form, steal nero's idea and have a basic and advanced interface for either quick converts or tweaked out
unky fat unky fat sounds like a job for you lol.
one of these days im going to sit down and spend a week with a copy of vb and figure out that crap.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I'm just going to use itunes. I had know idea that it was able to convert waves to mp3's.
Thanks Webmaster!
lame mp3 encoder....
open source and is used in alot of recording apps...
since it has to be ran from the command line, most of the free converters out there are just dumbed down GUI's built off it.
instead of dragging and dropping you just open up a command prompt and type a line of code
something like
lame -b 24 file_name.mp3 converted_file_name.mp3
converts the file_name.mp3 into an mp3 with a bitrate of 24
lame -b 64 file_name.wav converted_file_name.mp3
econdes the wav into an mp3 with a bitrate of 64k
theres a ton of different switches to throw on to tweak it all out
fighting back
