Re: dBpoweramp R16 Discussions

You can force the 32 bit version to install, uninstall all dBpoweramp programs, then install your registered, then install the beta forced to 32 bit (hold the right shift key whilst double click the install exe).

I supposed that is a workaround, but I was hoping to be able to test the 64-bit version.

Run the linked program, then install R15 64 bit, then R16 64 bit.

Re: dBpoweramp R16 Discussions

Looks like i do have the 32-bit version (of R15) installed.

Can i just confirm that the instructions in the link will uninstall the 32-bit codecs only, or will following them install everything (thus requiring me to reinstall R15 to maintain my registered version/state, followed by R16 Beta)?

Re: dBpoweramp R16 Discussions

If you had an older 32 bit version, you need to clear off the 32 bit version totally, then reinstall the codecs:

Re: dBpoweramp R16 Discussions

Is there a limitation as to which Codecs are supported in the R16 Beta?

I've installed it but can unfortunately not convert to anything other then FLAC, WAV, AIFF, ALAC or MP3 (LAME). This is despite having various other codecs installed, including WMA, AAC etc.

It is because often multi disc albums are brought together with discs from separate sets, this is often the case with greatest hits multi discs, where disc 3, is actually a disc 1 of a single album. The issue is, on these discs the volumes are no where near for each disc, so a per disc replaygain is correct.

I accept that, but it is not true for all multi-discs sets. So, I agree with Dat Ei and the neatest and complete solution to this problem is to make the ReplayGain by disc number, optional.

Re: dBpoweramp R16 Discussions

But why not an extra option to choose how to handle multi disc albums? Just a simple checkbox! A feature, you can't turn off, is a bug.

Re: dBpoweramp R16 Discussions

If you wanted to blend the discs, then have disc number 1/1 for both and give disc 2 a track offset of +100

This may well work for new rips. What about already ripped audio files, (approx. 100,000 tracks)?

What's the thinking behind adding the Disc Number implementation in ReplayGain. Without a selectable option (the choice to use Disc Number in ReplayGain), this feels like a retrograde step.

Re: dBpoweramp R16 Discussions

It is not an option, so is always on. The Utility Codec has not been updated (yet)

Does this mean that ReplayGain by Album ID Tag is now strictly ReplayGain by Album ID Tag and Disc Number, so I cannot have ReplayGain by Album ID Tag for Discs 1 and 2?

Replace:

[REPLACE]abc,123,[artist][]

This would replace 'abc' with 123 if it appeared in the artist tag.

Re: dBpoweramp R16 Discussions

Is the change in the ReplayGain DSP re. Disc Number, a selectable option or is it fixed?

Is the change in ReplayGain re. Disc Number also reflected in the latest ReplayGain Utility Codec?

Can you give an example of the Naming [REPLACE] function?

Re: dBpoweramp R16 Discussions

Hi

I'm trying to test R16, but it seems that it will only work as the non-reference version (so only FreeDB lookup etc). In the past when I've tried the betas, the install has recognised my currently installed Reference version and made the beta install as Reference too accordingly. Is this because my existing version is 32bit and the beta is 64bit, and if so, is there a workaround?

Many thanks.
