LameBrain 0.5.0 Now Available

Sunday, February 23, 2003

LB, the BOOMSTICK of LAME front-ends, is now ready and waiting.

GUI change: Encoding Settings now have their own window, as does the Single File Encoder.
GUI change: New Control Bar window.
GUI change: Minor changes to menubar.
GUI change: New keyboard shortcuts for all windows (CMD+0…5). Using a keyboard shortcut now brings a currently open-window to the front.
Change: Single File Encoder and CD Ripper both get their encoding settings from the Encoding Settings window. This offers significantly more flexibility.
Help: Popup Help now available on all controls.
Docs: Documentation started (nowhere near finished). See the “docs” directory.
Preferences: User can now choose which windows are opened on startup.
Bug fix: Timeout on new version check on startup reduced to 7 seconds; limits startup delay if cannot connect to server.
Bug fix: Preferences are now only saved when “Save” is clicked.
Probably more minor stuff I can’t remember.

I did notice a slight bug in the LAME preferences section: If you load a pref file, then close the prefs pane, and then re-open it, it loses all your settings. The work-around is to leave this window up at all times.

Great work on this app though! I love it to pieces. So much easier to use than using the iTunes->LAME script.
