Easy way to encode into Windows Media 9?

[BD2003]

Is there any program out there that will allow me to encode to windows media audio 9 by right clicking or a small process?

Using the encoder to encode a few files is a headache since its a 10 step process, and you have to use one file at a time.

Obviously someone didn't RTFM.

Obviously someone didn't RTFM.

I had a professor write RTFM on the board after someone in class asked a stupid question.

If you can show me how to do it in 2 clicks, Ill be impressed.

Think CLI. You can do a whole directory at once if everything is being encoded the same. It is more than two clicks but even using Advanced WMA Workshop takes more than two click and is not free.

That made absolutely no sense to me.

This is for Windows Media Encoder 8.

Open a command prompt window.


Go to the working directory where the file wm8eutil.exe is located. For example, type
cd \program files\windows media components\tools.
Type the following command, then press the ENTER key:
wm8eutil ?input input_directory -output output_directory
Provide the appropriate source and output directory names in place of input_directory and output_directory, respectively. For example:
wm8eutil ?input my-songs ?output my-songs-coded

Note If the output directory does not already exist, it will be created for you.


I don't know how different 9 will be. I will let you know when I finish downloading from this slow ass site. With all their money you think Microsoft would have faster servers.

Well the instructions look pretty much the same.
