    Having A Blonde Moment

    OK, so I remember setting DBP up when I bought it, but I can't remember what settings I used for conversion. I always convert to FLAC as it's my preferred codec, however when I select a group of files, then right click DBP and Convert it comes up with this image and I can't see where to check the output information.... can someone help me please??

    Image 1 - selecting files for conversion
    Image 2 - the box that comes up
    Image 3 - straight to converesion.

    Images for info.

    Hi there

    I've searched everywhere to find a solution to this but with no luck.
    I visited: file:///C:/Program%20Files/dBpoweramp/Help/dMC/dMC.htm and the box below doesn't appear when I right click a music file (or files) and use the Explorer option to open DBPoweramp.

    This essentially means I have no control over the export settings or encoding options.
    I have uninstalled the program and re-installed it (after rebooting my computer) but it's still the same.

    if I can't edit these options then the program is of no use to me as I have almost 30,000 files to encode.

    Please can someone help with this.

    Many thanks.

      Your encoder is FLAC, which have different encoder settings to mp3.

        Thanks for your reply, does this mean I have no control over the output settings if converting to FLAC? I.E. I can't change the options to, say, 16bit, 24bit, 44.1khz, 96khz?
        I understand the image I posted shows an MP3 Lame conversion, but in the encoder field at the top there is a down arrow suggesting other encoding options? From what you are saying there are no other options for encoding? i.e. FLAC, Wav etc?

          FLAC is a lossless encoder, it encodes as the source is.

          If you need to change those settings use DSP effects:

          Bit depth
          Sample Rate

          etc

            OK, I get it now - I thought DSP effects were far too in depth for simple bit rate and sample conversions
            Maybe some bog standard conversion combinations would be helpful in a quicker menu - love the program, but this was clunky...

            Thanks for your help.
