Default WMA batch encoding?

Is there a GUI-based .wma batch encoding tool out there that works on Vista
64? The command-line utility that comes with WM Encoder is a pain in the
ass...

Why is it a pain in the ass? Since it's a VBS script, it's relatively
flexible.

What precisely are you trying to do?

Thanks for the reply. See below in line.

Well, it's a pain in the ass because it's not GUI-based ( :-) ): no drag and
drop and all those "clicking one's way to happiness" niceties. I have to
admit, I'm not much of a fan of command line.

After all, I thought user friendliness is Windows' trademark, or is it not (
:-) )

Since it's a VBS script, it's relatively
flexible.


GUIs can be flexible too.

Cheers,

HB

Ah, you just don't want the command line tool at all - you want a WMA GUI
batch encoder.

There should be a number of third party tools that cater to this need. I
tihnk stuff like Sony Vegas does this, IIRC.
