how can we use this to:

1) automatically rip a cd to mp4 (such as cdex or EAC to mp3?)

2) convert existing audio files (mp3, ogg, etc) to mp4?

So far I've been doing ripping/mp3 via cdex and eac, and mp4 via dbPowerAmp. But if this encoder is supposed to be the best (only free 2-pass mp4 encoder) I'll switch if there's a convenient way.
