BladeEnc is a freeware MP3 encoder. It is based on the same ISO compression routines as mpegEnc, so you can expect roughly the same, or better, quality . The main difference is the appearance and speed. BladeEnc doesn't have a nice, user-friendly interface like mpegEnc, but it is more than three times faster, and it works with several popular front-end graphical user interfaces .

==Features==
* Source code available under the LGPL license.
* Stereo or Mono output. Can downmix to Mono on the fly.
* Supports the following bitrates: 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256 and 320 kBit/s. However, for bitrates lower than 128 kBit we seriously recommend you to use another encoder.
* Flags like Private, Original and Copyright can be set.
* Input samples can be in either 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz.
* Both 8 and 16-bit samples are supported.
* Working CRC checksum generation (since 0.80). The ISO reference code had broken CRC calculations, which has been inherited into every ISO based encoder that haven't added a fix for it.
* Can be compiled for nearly any operating system still in use.
* Commandline based, makes it easy to include BladeEnc into BAT files and shell scripts.


* Reads standard uncompressed WAV- and AIFF-files as well as well as RAW PCM-data.
* Batch encoding. Can encode any number of samples in a row.
* Wildcards supported. You can for example encode all WAV-files in a directory by typing "*.WAV".
* Input samples can be automatically deleted after encoding.
* Large selection of graphical frontends available.
* Task priority can be set from the commandline and is by default set to LOWEST so that you still can use your computer effectively while encoding (Windows & OS/2 only).
* Full support for pipes and redirection (stdin and stdout).
* Textbased configuration file where you can change default settings.
