TAudioConverter 0.9.5-Multithreaded Audio Converter-Extractor CD ripper

[ozok]

TAudioConverter is a audio converter-extractor and CD ripper. It can convert almost any audio format to aac, ac3, mp3, flac, wav, ogg, opus, mpc, tta, tak, alac, wavpack. SoX is used to apply effects such as normalization, volume change etc. It can also extract audio streams from video files and encode them. Video files with more than one audio stream is supported.

It is possible to run up to 16 simultaneous processes to shorten encoding time.
If you want an encoder to be added please let me know.

Both portable and setup versions are available.

Also you can see source code from here.

Suggestions and bug reports are more than welcome.

after extracting all file sizes are shown as 0, i could not run TA.exe. plz help me.

Hi,

After an unsucessfull extraction close TAC. There must be a "log.txt" in program folder, send it to me. Do not re-run TAC before you send log.txt because it will be over-written.

Edit: When you said extraction, I thought extracting audio. LOL. Latest versions of 7zip or Winrar will do.

Ozok, that was pretty cool gui!

Do you mean the skin or the new layout?

[soneca]

The new layout was more practical and organized and skins completed this new layout.

hey can u make it support nero encoder?

hey can u make it support nero encoder?

Maybe in the future. It has not been updated since 2009, so I am a bit unwilling to add support for it.

But if you have Winamp installed on your PC, you can use FHGAAC or if you have Quicktime installed, you can use QAAC. Both support HE-AAC and can be used instead of NeroAACenc.

I also recommend giving Opus a chance if you are not restricted to aac.

Edit: Many listening tests suggest that QAAC > FHG > Nero.

Thanks for the comment. Your "was/is" usage confused me, I thought you did not like the new layout. But English is not my native language either.
