9 Workflow Example
The first thing to do after launching the Codec Toolbox Manager, is load your uncompressed
WAV/AIFF audio files. This can be done in one of three ways:
1. Browse to your folder using the built-in Folder Browser
2. Drag a folder from your operating system’s file browser onto the Manager
3. Drag one of your audio files onto the Manager
Now, you should see your audio files listed in the Manager’s File List. **Single-click a file to select
it for processing. Once the file is selected, the Codec settings panel will update to only provide
access to the codec settings which are compatible with the sample rate and channel configuration
of the file.
• Using the Metadata Editor, set up all of the tags that you wish to be written to the output
compressed file.
• Click the Encode button. The output file will be written to the location indicated in the Output
file path field, and all non-empty metadata tags will be written to the resulting file.
However, you may wish to encode all of your files at once, and write the common metadata tags at
the same time. To do this:
1. Select the files that you wish to encode using command/control+click or shift+click.
2. In the Metadata Editor, fill in the tags that will be common to all selected files (for example,
Artist, Album, Genre, Cover Art).
3. Choose your desired Codec Settings
4. Point to the desired output folder
5. Press ENCODE
When the Manager has finished encoding each of the selected files and writing the common
metadata tags, navigate to your chosen output folder in the Folder Browser.
1. Select the first file in the File List, and edit the metadata tags specific to that file.
2. Press command+W (Mac) or control+W (Windows) to write your edits to the file.
3. Press command+] (Mac) or control+] (Windows) to select the next file in the File List.
4. Continue until the metadata for all files is complete
