Convert .mp4 to .mp3

[PugetSoundDJ]

Hey there,

I am moving to a new computer and have installed Music Converter Reference Windows R2023-1-20. On the older machine, I believe I was using dBpoweramp Reference R17.7.

I could have SWORN that in the past, I could right-click on one or more .mp4 files and I would get the "convert to" function on the menu and then could click to convert them to .mp3. But now, when I right-click on an .mp4 file, I don't get a "convert to" option.

Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks!

Alan

Re: Convert .mp4 to .mp3

are you using Windows 11? If so, when you right click, there is something like "more" at the bottom of the list that pops up. Click this and see if the convert to option is there.

Try uninstall dBpoweramp, full shutdown and restart of Windows and reinstall dBpoweramp.

Hello, I have noticed the same issue (`Convert To` option no longer shows up in context menu for mp4 files)

I am on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit (build 19044) and just updated from dBpoweramp Reference R15.3 to R2023-1-20

MP4 is a video file, if it is audio rename to .m4a

Or if these are downloaded iTunes m4p audio files (not mp4 video), these are DRM protected and I do not think they can be converted.

Hi
I have bought dbPowerAmp today and I installed it also on Windows 10 64 bit... and I have the same effect.
There is no possibility to get the "Convert To" by right click in the Context menu.
I searhed for ... also in the regedit but didn't found any hint.
What's wrong?

Uninstall dbpoweramp, full restart of windows then reinstall dbpoweramp.

I am on Windows 10 Home x64, version 22H2, and just installed dBRefMusic-2023-06-15.exe, 32 bit

I have no Convert option too, even though I did the " Uninstall dbpoweramp, full restart of windows then reinstall dbpoweramp." sequence.

The MusicConverter.exe converts fine when I select an mp4 file and the .mp4 file type.

I rarely converted mp4 files, and I used ffmpeg, I don't remember why I didn't use dbpoweramp.

Re: No longer can convert MP4 to MP3

mp4 or m4a? mp4 is excluded as default for convert to because it is video file not an audio.

You can remove the exclusion in the Control Center >> Advanced >> exclusions next to 'convert to'

I don't know why this setting has changed - I removed again the MP4 exclusion, and I can Convert again MP4-
