Music Converter Flac to Apple iTunes

[Neill S]

Hi All, I was happily converting ripped CD Flac files to Apple AAC for a while until strangely settings changed when I updated to the latest version of dbpoweramp. I was basically ending up with a file in iTunes which was: 44.1khz 256 kbps (VBR), now I get files at 48khz 124kbps. Does anyone know how I can get the old settings back? Thanks!

What settings do you have on the AAC encoder page?

Any DSP effects, such as Resample? are you certain the source is not 48KHz also?

Hello! Thanks for the reply. This is what I have

In CD Ripper where it shows the encoder settings, also the DSP effects tab

Here you go, I'm actually converting HiRes Downloads from Qobuz original file is 96kHz 48bit

On CD Ripper it shows you are encoding to FLAC, not AAC, can you clarify?

[Neill S]

That's correct, I rip CD's into FLAC for my home NAS server and then save a copy of the files to the desktop folder and then convert them to AAC to import into iTunes so I can have them independently on my phone. Does that make sense?

You would have to show us the settings when Converting FLAC to AAC.
