Is it possible?

Re: Command line conversion

It is not entirely clear what you are asking here.
You can use CLI interfaces for converting to mp3 (with the mp3 CLI codec from Codec Central) or to a variety of formats using the Generic CLI Encoder codec (also from Codec Central, I am not sure exactly which formats it will or will not support).

If you are asking about using a command line interface to do conversions with dMC within some other program, you cannot do this.

It is possible to create a script to operate dMC, if you are comfortable with that. You will find some helpful links both within the Developer Forum and also by clicking on the Professional tab above and clicking on the link for scripting (this site in particular contains examples of script one might use).

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,
Bill

I would like to be able to use Perl as the scripting language.

Re: Command line conversion

See either the Developer section of this forum or here (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/developer-scripting-dmc.htm).
Do note that the examples are geared more towards Visual Basic and C/C++, but that should help get you started.

Re: Command line conversion

For u youngsters, command line means able to execute a program from a DOS box, or a .BAT script. Circa 1980-1995. i.e.

dbPowerAmp.exe [-options] inputfile [outputfile]

dbPowerAmp, being a newer breed of applications (32 bits, Windoze environment) doesn't work like that. It's got something more powerful, it can be configured and controlled via VBscripts or JScripts (both Microsoft), built into Windows. If u have a perl compiler, that works too.

VB/JScripts are your more updated batch processing languages, syntax similar to VBasic/Java but with lots of interfacing options to the Windows environment. BATCH scripts specific for Windows. Check out the developer forum then experiment.
