Re: how do i use a windows ACM codec

dBpoweramp already uses ACM encoders, select Wave as the encoder, then Compression, all the ACM encoders on the system are listed there.

Install the cli encoder, it has a help file (shown after install) on how to set it up.

Re: how do i use a windows ACM codec

sorry to dig up my old thread but i am trying to use the l3codecp.acm and it works in eac but when i try to do it using dbpoweramp i get a wav file that i cant play even if i change the ext to .mp3 i belive it is writing the wav headers how can i stop it from doing that

also about the mp3hd i cant seem to get meta data to pass to it so idk whats going on there

now you maybe wondering why i want to use the acm its cuz i can set stereo modes unlike the fhg codec in dbpoweramp the 63i codec has the ablity to disable joint stereo

Re: how do i use a windows ACM codec

A .wav file will always have wave headers, if you want a .mp3 file then use the mp3 (Lame) encoder.

In Lame joint stereo gives higher quality files than without, all negative information about joint stereo is out of date.
