2-Pass WMA encoding doesn't work anymore!

[powermonger87]

Is the 2 pass WMA encoding option park of the Power Pack? My dBpoweramp trial has expired and I'm only able to encode 1 pass WMA files. The 2-pass encoding option is greyed-out and disabled. If I registered my program, would I get the 2 pass WMA encoding option back?? I have the most recent WMA codec installed...

that is corect. a quote straight from the WMA codec help file

2 Pass allows WMA to compress with even more quality, by first skimming the file and noting down where extra effort is required, this option is only available if the Power Pack installed.

Thanks for the clarification! The $14 for the registration doesn't seem expensive -- and I'll get to receive future downloadable updates of dBpoweramp for free!! I'll consider registering because I use this program A LOT!
