Version history / Release notes / Changelog / What's New


Release 2024-04-01

FLAC encoder, limits to 655350Hz, returns an error message if source more than this

Opus updated to 1.5.1

Overwrite page:
automatically tracks which files exist and shown in red, extension shown also.
'No to All' renamed 'Skip existing' and the button will disable if no files are being overwritten (after renaming)
Overwrite (x) shows how many are being overwritten
also the headers autosize when size window, so extension always shows on edge
detects also later encoded files which would overwrite files which are being written during conversion
'Overwrite' button changes to 'Convert' if no files are being overwritten

Right click folder >> Batch Convert, Batch Edit Tags set also by Placement option (Windows 11+)

if a file 'NoRegCheck.bin' is placed in the same folder as dBpoweramp programs, it disables the update check and registration code entry.

dMC DSP Volume Normalize: redesigned page, for EBU it allows editing of the reference target level, also added a new option 'Reduce if above' which is ideal for using with floating point and reducing to a desired final dB value

ID Tag Editor - ALT + Right Arrow to move to next file, ALT + Left Arrow to previous file

CD Ripper - if already had ripped CD and try again, but cancel at overwrite page, then would show the ripping results, even though did not rip
CD Ripper - if internet access is disabled and no metadata then says so on Metadata info tip, also the Manual Search page is not shown
CD Ripper - Speed up of metadata lookup when servers are down
CD Ripper - Manual Metadata review, remembers the last position, even if dragged to other monitor, or resized for next showing, note resets to default position on CD ripper restart

Control Centre - disabling access to the internet shows a warning message about CD Ripper having no metadata

Wavpack DSD Encoding enabled

Using this has proved to me conclusivelythat mp3 is the best of all for music and king. Running high bitrate enodings through Magic Audio Cleaning Lab proved 100% that aac is noisier codec and produces more artifacts than acoustically tweaked mp3. Converting CD's to aac always produced hiss, clicking etc using any CD ripper or audio converting tool as a control check. With dBpoweramp mp3 comes out perfectly. Best to use 192kbps and above! Love that format still!

I use dbPowerAmp as the converter since it is the best
I convert to mp3 (Lame Averate Bit Rate 40)
You might be able to further deduce the bit rate by going to aa format
I can’t see why you would want to concatenate the chapters. It serves no purpose but adds another process to your audio and extra work for you. Why put it inside a m4a or mp4 container? That again serves no purpose and limits what you can play it on.

You can’t continue to process lossy files without effecting their quality. If you are lucky, you only suffer a loss of fidelity, if not you can produce artifacts. Most will render your audio unusable since they are very loud and can hurt your ears and or blow out your speakers. For that reason I convert to mp3 since most devices play them.

For instance, I cut a ape file into tracks. They sounded perfect. Then I converted them to mp3s. The audios were riddled with horrible artifacts. Then I tried converting the ape file to an mp3 file then cut that into tracks and the audio was fine. The thing is, had I kept the ape tracks and deleted the original one I would never have been able to reduce the bit rate. You can’t always hear if you have ruined an audio file until you try to peocess it again. I suggect doing as little as possible to any audio file.

It's actually really great!

The CD ripper is accurate, it has a great and fast encoder, and has a great TAG editor.

Worth your dollars.
