Error converting FLAC to AIFF on M1 MacBook Pro

[ketang]

After using the Music Converter successfully for a year I am now getting errors converting FLAC to AIFF. I am using version 2024-05-30. I have attached the error text file. Strangely, I can convert successfully using the Batch Converter, but I don't want to have to use that every time going forward.

Known bug - versions of dBpoweramp released earlier this year do not work properly on macOS Sequoia.
This problem has been fixed in the latest version of dBpoweramp.
If your upgrade period has expired, you can run beta versions which have their own independent timeout and function as registered.

Thanks Peter, what do you mean by independent timeout? Do I need to pay for another cycle of upgrades to get a bug fix for a program I own?

Apple keep releasing new OS and it takes considerable effort on our part to maintain compatibility with new OS, and crucially all previous OS versions when compiled on the latest compiler needed to support the new OS. It is a never ending conveyor belt. Sadly it is not possible to have a snapshot of dBpoweramp and expect it works going forward, and it is renewals which keep the updates coming.

I assume your update period has expired if you're still running dBpoweramp version from a few months back. If that's not the case, just auto-update to the latest to get a fix for this bug.

If your updates have expired and you do not wish to pay for extending updates at this time, beta versions linked above work just like registered, though there's a timeout to prevent people from using very old betas, and auto update functionality is missing.
