I downloaded it and am following instructions on the page:

Installation Instructions: (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/codec-central.htm)

1) download the Nero codec Zip package from:

http://www.nero.com/nerodigital/eng/Nero_Digital_Audio.html

2) Open the zip file (by double clicking on it) and open the folder win32, select neroAacEnc and copy (Edit menu >> Copy). Open a new explorer window, it is important the old zip window is left open (press Windows Key + E) and browse to:

C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\encoder\AAC (Advanced Audio Compression)\

In the above folder select (Edit menu >> Paste). After extracting the following files should be present in the above folder:

encoder Text Document
mp4creator Application
Nero Bitmap Image
neroAacEnc Application
toaac Windows Batch File

When I move "neroAacEnc" into the "C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\encoder\AAC (Advanced Audio Compression)\" folder, nothing happens. I right click and find no option to extract files... What am I doing wrong here? :o

If you have the neroAacEnc in that folder, then you are done.

Error converting to mp3 (Lame), 'C:\Documents and Settings\Holly\My Documents\Downloads\Stop Making Sense\09 Take Me To The River.m4a' to 'C:\Documents and Settings\Holly\My Documents\Downloads\Stop Making Sense\09 Take Me To The River.mp3'
Error: Unable to load decoder for file type '.m4a', codec not installed? visit 'Codec Central'. [dBCoreConverter::dBCoreConverter]

So you installed the dMC m4a codec and moved the neroAacEnc.exe file to the location specified and you get that error?

This folder is wrong, you have to put it in the encoder\m4a (Nero) folder
