AutoBlade v1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nick Ryan 1998

This is a windows front end for the excellent Blade encoder by Tord Jansson.

It should be simple to use although I'll give you a quick intro.

1. Load up the software
2. Click settings and set up the path for the encoder.
3. Click the files tab and use the right button to add files. (Hint you can select multiple files if you hold CTRL or SHIFT or just drag and drop them.
4. If you accidently select the wrong file just highlight it, right click it and select delete.
5. Click Encode and wait...

It will then kick in the Blade encoder and that will then encode your selected files.


This is my first front end for the Encoder and any resemblence to my AutoEncode program is entirely coincidental. If there's anything you want in the next version let me know.


Version History
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

V1b- Fixed the ability to add non wav files to the list. Also sorted the encoder path prob.
And added the ability to have all files saved to the same location after encoding. Also
added a clear function and a powerdown option - useful for long encoding sessions together with a play function so you can hear what you are just about to encode. 

V1 - Launch version.
