Hi Marco, Amadeus is wonderful. Especially its batch converter is amazing. Not only can you convert from one file format to the other, with all your options for the target format in place such as tag info and even album art, but it also lets you perform file operations during the conversion. For example, say you have 16 songs, and you would like to create a summary of each of them. Itunes does that, to allow you to preview them before buying. Amadeus can do that in a few seconds. You open the batch converter, in the first tab sheet you tell amadeus to which new file format you want to convert, and you set its options, and in the second tab, you can create a list of actions, that amadeus will carry out from top to bottom. The order in which the actions appear in this list can be important, depending on what you're doing. After pressing an add button next to the actions list, you can choose what you want to do. Say you want to cut off the first 30 seconds, because you want your summary file to begin there, and not at the song intro. Then you tell amadeus to move ahead 30 seconds, which is one minute into the time line of the song, and cut off everything from there to the end. This leaves a chunk of audio, from 30 seconds into the song, lasting half a minute. Now, the second action could be to perform a nice fade in and out at the beginning and end. It's not difficult, you just select what you want and read the manual. After you have your fades in place in the actions list, you could also normalize the chunk, and then pass it to the encoder. The possibilities are not endless but they are impressive. It can save you a lot of manual loading, editing, saving etc, if you let the batch converter do it for you.
One thing to be aware of when starting to play around with amadeus, is that you have 2 different cursors running along the time line of the sound file. One is the play head, just like you had with old tape recorders, and the other is the insertion point. So, stopping playback somewhere, will always require you to first get the insertion point over to the play head, because otherwise, you won't edit as you intend. Hth, Paul.
