Hi,
I've been using Kaudiocreator and FAAC for a long while and decide to give nero AAC encoder a try.
Nero AAC encoder came with 3 commands. neroAacEng is for encoding ONLY, while neroAacTag is for tagging.

So here comes my problem. I try to creator new encoder setting in Kaudiocreator like.

Code: Select all

neroAacEnc -lc -q 0.6 -if %f -of %o ; neroAacTag %o -meta:title=%{title} -meta:artist=%{artist} -meta:album=%{albumtitle} -meta:track=%{number}

The file only got encoded, but NOT tagged. I also tried something like.

Code: Select all

neroAacEnc -lc -q 0.6 -if %f -of %o && neroAacTag %o -meta:title=%{title} -meta:artist=%{artist} -meta:album=%{albumtitle} -meta:track=%{number}

No, none of these worked for me.

Can anyone give me some hint about how to make Kaudiocreator execute "all commands" in the encoder?
Thanks.

I tried with a shell script, put the two command together.
But it seems Kaudiocreator cannot properly execute it. It always stuck at encoding step.

I tried the best I can, I think.
May anyone lend me a hand?

If you provide the arguments to the script by hand does it work properly?

Is the script marked as being executable with the appropriate #! line?

Oh, thank you, finally!

Here is the shabby script I wrote to do this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
neroAacEnc -lc -q 0.6 -if "$1" -of "$2"
neroAacTag -meta:title="$3" -meta:artist="$4" -meta:album="$5" -meta:track=$6 "$2"
exit 0


I tested this by:

Code: Select all

./neroaacenctag.sh testinput.wav this.m4a title artist "album this" 2


And it successfully generate this.m4a which with proper tag.

And I put this into encoder command:

Code: Select all

neroaacenctag.sh "%f" "%o" "%{title}" "%{artist}" "%{albumtitle}" %{number}


Could it be anything wrong about the way I use the command because of my unfamiliarity with "%" operator?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Have you tried adding statements to the start of your bash script to echo out (to a log file if needed) what arguments have been passed in?

Thank you, just some miss path.
Problem solved.
