Trader's Little Helper

Description

Traders of lossless compressed audio files (e.g. ape, flac, mkw, or shn files) have to handle a lot of different applications to decode, encode, create/verify checksums, fix sector boundary errors, or create torrent files. Moreover most of the tools used are command-line programs requiring a deeper knowledge of how to use various parameters. Trader's Little Helper bundles the most important features of those applications in one single easy-to-use frontend.

In most parts Trader's Little Helper acts as a frontend for the free console applications aucdtect.exe, flac.exe, lame.exe, mac.exe, metaflac.exe, mkwcon.exe, shntool.exe, and shorten.exe. Suitable releases of these files are included in the setup file.

Do not replace any of the console applications installed by the setup file with older or newer releases. This may cause Trader's Little Helper to malfunction.

Trader's Little Helper is neither able to display Unicode filenames nor able to process files with Unicode filenames.
