Seems the kind of perfect job for a scripting language. If you use Perl as the scripting tool you can make it run on the three plataforms mentioned above without mutch trouble. Perl is the ideal tool for reading text files, parsing the data and do what you want.
The only thing you'll need is the LAME binaries for different plataforms and probably some aiff to wav converter. Perl is easy to learn and with a little effort you could do the script in a few days, a week or two depend on your skills Cheers Filipe Quoting Slava Paperno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Dear MP3 Developers, > > My school is developing an application for language training, and we are in > need of a wave-to-mp3 and aiff-to-mp3 converter that we can redistribute. > > We have no problem with open source distribution. > > We can only use a converter that can be launched by our application in the > background through a very simple command line or scripting > communication--we don't need any serious API, and we don't need a user > interface. > > For example, on starting up, the converter could look for a small text file > with input information: what WAV or AIFF files need to be converted to MP3, > where the resulting files should be placed, and the desired compression > parameters (data rate).
