Convert mp3 to m4b

[mango]

I have been looking at your product line as a potential solution for the following problem -

I need to convert several thousand mp3 audiobooks at once to m4b format on an ongoing basis. I would like to do this conversion from within a php script via the command line. I have downloaded the trial version of dbpoweramp, along with applicable codecs and would like to test its effectiveness from the command line prior to purchasing the requisite licences.

I tried running the following command as a test, I get the error
Error [outfile] not specified on command line.

"c:\program files\illustrate\dBpoweramp\coreconverter.exe" -infile="MyInFile.mp3" -outfile="MyOutFile.m4b" -convert_to="m4b (Audio Book)" -cli_encoder="C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\encoder\m4b (Audio Book)\neroAacEnc.exe" -errorfile="out.txt" -tag="title=Book Title" -tag="artist=FirstName LastName".

Can anyone please help? Thanks.

Are there no paths for MyInFile.mp3? and the MyOutFile.m4b?

Yes there are paths. But currently, for test purposes, I can store both input and output files in the same folders. The program is launched from inside the input file folder.

Try:

CoreConverter.exe -infile="c:\AFile.wav" -outfile="c:\Outfile.mp3" -convert_to="mp3 (Lame)" -V 6

Then when it works, add in your CLI elements one at a time until you find which is causing the problems.

Am a bit confused. I want to convert from mp3 to m4b, not wav to mp3. I do not have any wav files.

It is a test, as when you can get that working you can try adding your command line one part at a time until you find what is wrong.
