I tried running this on my intel macbook running leopard but when i opened iLas.app I got an error saying it wasn’t supported for my architecture. Update please?

Hey, great app. However, you seem to be lacking UTF-8 support, as anything that’s a non-ISO American character is all messed up. Also, multithread it! that’s probably one of the reasons you liked iTunes-Lame so much…

UPDATE

Ah ha! It’s the punctuation. iLas dosen’t like song titles with the character “/” in them. This is a problem for fans of progressive metal, prog. rock, classical, and various kinds of electronica; like me. Perhaps the titles could be stored in an array while the files are encoded using numerical file names. The final mp3 could be renamed back to it’s original title from the array. This could also solve some other title anomalies (try encoding some Blue Öyster Cult)

Hope this helps,

Dave

Version .9 never worked for me but 1.0b did…

Until after running DiskWarrior. (At least that’s the only thing I remember doing that might affect iLas) Now I get the same error message I got with .9.

Can’t init outfile ‘/Users/dave/Library/Caches/iLas/In The Presence Of Enemies Pt. 1- 1. Prelude / 2. Resurrection.mp3′ (255)

I Uninstalled iLas, downloaded the latest (still 1.0b) , reinstalled and got the same error.

Also, Preferences is greyed out, and when I click on About it says version .9 while if I Get Info on the app Icon it says 1.0b.

But it did work great for a while.

Thanks for the effort, hope this info helps.

Thanks for fixing both the ‘jlink’ path issue and the authenticated install (in the 0.9 release, installing as a standard error failed with no clear reason; I had to switch to an admin account and then copy the files back to the standard user).

Now however, as K says, ILAS encodes the LAME files in ~/Library/Caches/iLAS and adds those to the Lamed playlist in iTunes. But when it finishes the playlist, it appears to clear the Caches folder, without copying them to the main iTunes Library folder. Even Spotlight can’t find any trace of them. So after the import, you end up with simply a playlist of broken links to cache files that no longer exist. Why not simply import the files to the iTunes Library tree directly, avoiding the Caches stage completely? Why even have the Lamed playlist?

(Incidentally, the direct URL to ILAS on this site still points to the 0.9 version.)

Sorry,

I gave you a rush response before, I’m still having problems with iLas. When I rip a CD and click in the LAMED playlist the song are gone. They dissapeared for not reason. So I tried to look by doing “reveal in finder” option and the ripped songs are locate in iLas Cache folder????? weird… Help Please….

Yikes, I think I remember something now about how there isn’t a “Scripts” folder by default anymore. If you make one and put the file “Import with iLAS.scpt” inside it should work just fine. I’ll make sure future version take care of that automatically.

Thanks for the feedback!
