Summary
It is tiny, it works like a charm - just drag and drop from Windows Explorer. Reliable, fast, FREE. I have entrusted this program to encode every song I have ever worked on. A+++++ Everything else is just fancy gibberish.
no problems; love the simple command line interface

Summary
Had no problems with this at all. Simple drag and drop functionality makes it virtually idiot proof, and also has a number of command line options for advanced users. The guy who claims to have had his (pre existing? Not sure, he's not very clear on this...) MP3 files must have tried to drag/drop them instead of .WAV files... Obviously this program couldn't do anything to MP3 files it wasn't told to interact with.
Works, and it is FREE

Developer’s Description

By Tord Jansson

Encode MP3 files from the command line.

BladeEnc is a 32-bit Windows console application that encodes MP3 files from WAV or AIFF files. Although BladeEnc supports command-line parameters, standard 128-kbps stereo MP3 files can also be generated via simple drag-and-drop. If the command line is not your style, a user-friendly BladEnc front end, BladeEnc Helper, is also available. View the included bladeenc.html file for operation instructions.

Version .94 fixes bugs and adds enhancements to the interface.
