How do I convert FLAC 24 to 16 44.1 mHz?

[sjelso]

How do I use dBPoweramp to convert my FLAC 24 to 16 44.1 mHz so I can play them on Sonos? I do not see any option for this, only FLAC levels 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.

Thank you..

Add the DSP effect 'Bit Depth' to change it whilst converting.

Hi,
Is this possible on the Free Version of dBpoweramp?

Sadly not (DSP effects require a registration)

Thanks Spoon but please be precise as I am confused with the 3 programmes that show up (1) dBpoweramp batch converter (2) dbpoweramp CD Ripper and (3) dBpoweramp Music converter.
Which one do I need?
Also I have posted my question on CD/DVD Drive Accuracy List 2011 thread, if you could respond.
I need to decide which software I will have as my main ripper (a) J River Media Jukebox (b) MediaMonkey (c) EAC or (d) dBpoweramp. With your experience you could gine me the Pros and Cons in a nutshell.

Edit: "ReplayGain does not change the audio, only contains a loudness value which a player can use" as stated in the guide, does compromise the "Dynamic range" of the track?

All the programs you mention are included in the one package 'dBpoweramp Music Converter'

> as stated in the guide, does compromise the "Dynamic range" of the track?

Not if a 16 bit track is playing and the player increases the bit depth to 24 bits before processing the replaygain value.
