And no, I don't encode to MP3 often anymore, preferring other formats, but when I do, I use LAME, and it's free.įinally, the size of the program when installed is absolutely unwieldy, at least in contrast to the converter/encoder I normally use, Multi-Frontend.Īnd it's Multi-Frontend I'll be sticking with, after having tried dBpowerAMP, which seems to me a pretty, but overrated program. Then I find they claim they must charge $14 for MP3 encoding beyond 30 days-even though they use LAME, which is free and open-source-there may be some valid legal reason for this, but I haven't the foggiest notion what that might be I can think of many LAME-aware programs that are free.

Supported format: WAV,MP3,FLAC,APE,OGG,WMA,MPC,WV,TTA. Freeware to fast convert video and audio files between any formats. A free DVD decrypter that runs in the background and decrypts DVDs on the fly.

dBpoweramp contains a multitude of audio tools in one.

Of the seven formats I use, only MP3 was included in the package, the rest had to be downloaded as plug-ins-now, I DON'T take a point off for this, since I believe strongly in extensible software with minimal default features, but it makes no sense not to even include Ogg in the base package of a program like this. Top Rippers & Converters 64-bit downloads. Audio conversion perfected, effortlessly convert between formats. You pay $28 for the top of the line professional version and you only get "Free minor version upgrades"?Īfter what seems like (and may have indeed been) years of hearing good things about this, I finally decided to try it. Plus, the fee now is $18 instead of $14 - AND the high-end Reference version does NOT include free lifetime upgrades. I would think people should hold off on getting this at least until it's bug-fixed and the codecs are working. It is safe to say, dBpoweramp is used to encode more multi-format audio files than any other program. That is allot of CDs being ripped, into the 100's of Millions. dBpoweramp's CD Ripper has an installed user base of over 10 Million and falls in the top 5 of CD Ripping use world wide. So, the value now sucks cause you have to pay for the LAME encoder functionality when it should be free, they shafted loyal users AND the thing isn't actually ready for prime time? Our client list is a who's-who of the business world. PLUS, why force people to pay extra for a year of AMG if they don't want that service? In the 'Output' section of the 'Playback' preferences select 'WASAPI (event) : Speakers (ASUS Xonar Essence ST Audio Device) ' from the drop-down menu in 'Device' and also.

They use some stupid technicality to gut the heart of the Free Lifetime upgrade so they can get more cash. In 'DSP Manager' move 'Resampler (dBpoweramp/SSRC) ' to the 'Active DSPs' column and then double-click the Resampler module and select '44100' Hz for 'Target sampling rate'. This thing was supposed to be Free Lifetime Upgrades, but users who purchased it are getting shafted. The split-off into the new "Reference Version" means you won't get all those features unless you fork out another chunk of money.

I'm using this release and like much of what I see, but the fact that the Registered License Upgrade link isn't working yet, that not all the codecs are updated and functional and that they are not providing Multi-CPU / Threaded support in the core version is of concern.
