 Dionysus is a simple freeware mp3 encoder that uses the BladeEnc
encoding engine to make MP3 files. BladeEnc's strong point is for making
CD quality MP3s for archiving, excelling at bitrates 192kbps and above.
However, you must already have WAV files on your system as this program does not
rip from CD.
The program is very simplistic and is essentially a graphical
frontend for BladeEnc since encoding is all this program does. By what it
does do, it does it well. BladeEnc produces good quality MP3s at higher
bitrates but can't compare with Frauhnofer encoders at 128kbps and
below.
The only other real features to the Dionysus MP3 encoder is the
ability to add extra processors through the 'Advanced Options' tab. I am
guessing that this will pull in the power of other computers on a network.
The program is available for download in profane and profanity-exclusive
options, referring to the colorful metaphors in the readme file.
Dionysis seems to be no longer available for download. For another good encoder that uses the BladeEnc encoding engine, see Rob Fantastic MP3 Encoder
