Wapet

What is Wapet?

Wapet can be used to encode an audio file and tag it with APEv2 or APEv1 in one step. This is useful for programs like Exact Audio Copy (EAC) which will let you compress files using an external encoder, which may not support tagging while encoding. A good example of usage can be found at this URL.

The History

Wapet was originally programmed by Case.

For the history behind this development please read this forum thread at Hydrogen Audio.

Known Issues / Notes

• It's not picky about the type of file you pass - it's currently up to you as an adult to ensure you pass it a nice file, like a .TXT, .CUE, or .LOG. No EXEs now you monkeys...

Disclaimer

I must stress that I am not a C++ programmer (please read the thread). This project equates to the sum total of my C++ experience, and therefore you download and run these amended EXEs at your own risk.

The code used to implement the -f switch is 95% the same as in Tag. You can take a look at this code, and maybe suggest improvements.
