I want to convert some ALAC files to AAC, but dbpoweramp gives me this error:

Check dBpoweramp Configuration, does it show .m4a below the DirectShow decoder?

If the filter is correctly installed you would also be able to play the file in Windows Media player, can you?

No, windows media player isn't able to play the files...can't find the codec or something. But foobar2000 can

What i need to install?

By the way, now when i convert from wav to alac, files are converted but ALL files fail at verification. I'm sure there is something I need to install...but what?

Try converting the ALAC files to wave, do they convert?

no, they don't convert

This is very strange. dbpoweramp says that the files contains no tag, but foobat2000 reads perfectly the tag.

I used a new version of tag&rename. Could it corrupt the files?.

The facts are:

converting from FLAC or WAV to ALAC (did't manage with new version of tag&rename at all) FAIL at verification

converting from ALAC to any other codec FAIL at encoding

ALAC files can play and show tags in foobar2000 but can't play in Windows Media Player and can't show tags in dbpoweramp.

foobar2000 can convert the ALAC files to AAC without any problem.

i do not understand why can't with dbpoweramp with all plugins installed

seems like solved with installing a directshow filter pack called "DC-Bass Source Filter"

this is very strange, i never needed to install this to do the ALAC encoding

edit: but now, the tracks doesn't encode at their full lenght! this is incredible!

Re: dbpoweramp conversion error. please, help

For the direct show configuration .txt file (where you add extensions manually), remove the .m4a because our codec is directly implements .m4a and you should not sepcify .m4a for directshow decoder.

Thanks! now I can convert without problems

I never needed to remove .m4a from that list before, very strange
