Hi Reinier- What filters do you use? I haven't looked at API-level filters, but for stand-alone apps, I haven't found many that will do this aside from Audacity. I use Audacity on WinXP to do this, and the new 3.x beta version has a batch-run feature. I set up a batch job that just compresses a mp3 and then saves it, so from the GUI I launch the batch, select a bunch of files, and then 10 minutes later they're all converted. Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to script it (or cracked open the code to see how it does it) to automate it.
