Dear board,

did you ever need to convert a bunch of .wave-files to .OGG-Vorbis?
If not, please leave now...
I coded this for some new Applications for the iPhone, but did not want to convert 50 .wav-files manually to .ogg... It will definitely not be the last time I have to convert a bunch of .wavs...

This little graphical frontend uses OGGEnc (which is included in the Application-bundle) to convert .wav to .ogg. It weights 1.5mb (400kb without OGGEnc).

Features:
- Mac OS X-only (sorry, PB PPC is broken at the moment on my MacBook)
- use quality settings from -1 to 10 OR
- set constant bitrate or variable bitrate with "from" and "to" levels
- 3 presets
- compare quality of .wav and .ogg with two buttons
- convert to mono switch
- change frequency
- English and Deutsch
- single or batch-conversion of entire folders (non-recursive)
- a nice simple GUI
AND
- it's totally free

Edit:
Thanks for reminding me of the missing link... Get it here: http://www.quadworks.de/download.php?ar ... onvert.zip

Looks nice, but how to download? Cant find a link in your post.

Ah yes... I missed it. Thanks for adding...
I also put it into my first post...

hmm

i've allways been satisfied with something like

for %%f in (*.wav) DO (oggenc.exe "%%f")

in a batch (windows)

which weights only a bunch of bytes and the oggenc-binary

You are right. Probably you could use Automator on Mac OS, as there is
no .bat-file on MacOS, besides shell-scripts. But that is in Terminal.
I wanted full control over every aspect of oggenc without crappy commandlines

btw.: is it possibly to compare wav and ogg that easily like in OGG-Convert when sitting inside a shell/terminal? You'd need other software, too

1. your software is a cool piece of work and makes converting simple
2. i compare ogg to wav with my ears not by reading some mb-values at least.
