If you've got the OverwriteTBX flag set to true (it is false by default), or a .tbx file already exists, it'll just delete the old .dirname.mp3 file to help you clean up. For most people and most cases, you won't need to change any of the default settings. You may want to wait and see if Jörg wants to change any of the Lame options before generating new clips (as opposed to just renaming old ones), just in case. http://mysite.verizon.net/brian.wolven/Rockbox/Talkbox.zip _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-04-10 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
