You need to use the Encode Local add on:

[Encode Local] Utility Codec - dBpoweramp Forum

http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=14731

The purpose of Encode Local is to encode files locally (normally to the computers temporary folder), before sending the file to its final location (which could be a network shared folder, such as on a NAS). Why do this? for certain audio formats, such as Ogg vorbis, or FLAC, ID Tags are contained at the beginning of the file,

I rip (FLAC) to a network drive without the local encoder. Just select the network folder as target folder. The purpose of the local encoder is just to speed up this process

Re: Ripping to shared network folder

Hey - I found a workaround - if I tried to write to the network drive by inputting \\XXXcomputerhere\drive into dbp - it errored out, but by mapping it as a network drive with a local drive letter (z: in this case), it worked just fine. I don't get the difference, but simple enough to workaround.
