JRiver looks nice, it's just not easy enough for my specific application.

Sigh.

Well, I guess then it's up to me and myself...

Okay... I can go two ways, either use a DLL (preferable, makes the program look better / more professional) but for now there's no problem using command line stuff. It's for my own use anyway, so I don't mind a little extra installing.

Some more links...

http://sox.sourceforge.net/Main/HomePage
http://www.ffmpeg.org/
http://www.free-codecs.com/

So, with all those links and encoders available it's time for the next step: making a rough design and start coding...

Do it yourself! :mrgreen:

Why not using VLC? :) - at least for the transcoding
(Transcoding FLAC to MP3) - jet as VBS but should be easy to do in PB too:

Reading MP3/Flac/<OTHERFORMATHERE> MediaInfo/Tags could be done with the bass.dll

If ever there were a case for a PB-Community project, then this might be it. A great media player that is X-Platform would be a very good way to showcase PB and a constructive project for all concerned, there's lots of sample code snippets that could be incorporated without necessarily having to resort to external resources.
