Apple Lossless to FLAC conversion

August 09, 2012, 08:22 AM

I am trying out if dBpoweramp 14.2 can convert Apple Lossless/ALAC-files to FLAC. With 'normal' files (44.1khz,16bit) it seems to work all right, but 96khz,24bit files just turn into noise after their conversion to FLAC. I notice the sample size reported for the FLAC is 16-bit (96khz), and after checking I find dBpoweramp displays a wrong sample size (16 bit again) for the Apple Lossless file to begin with. I suppose sample sizes are not handled correctly by the ALAC-decoder, or am I somehow screwing up things myself?

Try:

Apple Lossless [Apple Open Source Encoder / Decoder] - dBpoweramp Forum

http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?25037-Apple-Lossless-Apple-Open-Source-Encoder-Decoder

We have updated our codecs to use Apples released code. <now released (as part of R14.3)>

This uses Apples own decoding code, I have seen ALAC files out there which have been written incorrectly by programs (other than iTunes).
