dBpoweramp's continued evolution, it is expected that R16 will release in Q3 2016. It is not possible to purchase R16 at this time, and on release previous R15 purchases within 4 weeks of the release date will be automatically upgraded to R16.
R16 will contain mainly UI changes, usability and feature updates.
Installation
Note install over the top of the existing Rxx dBpoweramp to maintain registered state (do not uninstall old).
This test version will time out in August 2016.
<released>
Changes
New visual style, high DPI aware
Configure dBpoweramp repurposed as dBpoweramp Control Centre, only elevates on changes to shell settings
Configuration, if proxy server is enabled but no proxy server is set, it is disabled.
DSP Effects included as standard in all installs, DSP version number is now dBpoweramps version number
dBpoweramp Shell Tag Editor - looks up art with PerfectTUNES
Naming Section total rewrite
Naming Added new values [track_unpad] [track_total_unpad] for unpadded track number and count
Naming [IFEQUALS] check will match from multiple stored values, such as one match from 3 genres
Naming added [REPLACE] function
Naming added [WORD] function to limit word count
Converter:
Can add or remove CPU Cores from converting whilst converting
Nearly instant when converting 1000's of files if the file naming does not require ID Tags reading for filenames
Works with DSP effect 'conditional encoding' to allow programmable actions on files depending on their settings (such as copy 1:1 mp3, not encode)
Option to precache read the source file, more for non-ssd systems, improves read performance by 100%
New option (in configuration) 'Filename restricted characters'
Codecs:
m4a: able to read m4a file designated as mp42 or mp41 internally (really .mp4)
m4a: displays bit rate for fdk vbr encoded files
m4a separates out multi artist etc internally as individual tags, for maximum compatibility (option in config allows reverse order or / separated)
dsp effects:
Volume Normalize EBU-R128 defaults to -18 dB target volume.
ID Tag Processing, multi-artists etc added with Additions are correctly detected as multiples if separated as '; '
ReplayGain identifies albums also with Disc number.
Resample effect has new minimum and maximum options.
New Icons
New Effect: Conditional Encoding (R16 or above required)
Volume Normalize added Adaptive EBU-R128 option, and redesigned settings page
CD Ripper:
Can edit tags in track listing
Simplified interface, refresh and metadata button combined now
Metadata cache stores intel metadata providers seperatly, also error and info logs, and size increased by default to 200MB
AMG replaced with Discogs for metadata and PerfectTUNES for ART (amg is EOL Q3 2016)
Album Art Choose (from Internet) can type the artist and album names. PerfectTUNES is searched also for art.
Pasting art from clipboard, can paste URL containing art, or filename location
New option: rc on track listing >> Paste track titles from clipboard: this open will take a multiline list in the form artist - title or just title and replace the title and artist.
Manual Metadata Review: Has cancel button, also shows genre or year as <different> if they are not uniform across all tracks
Metadata trims lead and end spaces
New Option (on options page, note not compatible with Multi-Encoder) "When Ripping":
Rip to '._' files, rename album at end (default option)
Rip to temporary folder, move album at end
Rip direct to final filenames
Submit to freedb restrictions lifted
Batch Converter:
right click folder >> dBpoweramp Batch Convert with multiple folders selected, only 1 Batch Converter appears
visually better when processing large number of files
added profile support, also profiles passed onto Music Converter so Codec selection / DSPs, etc are unique to that profile name
added metadata filter based exclusion / inclusions
quicker at processing large number of files
Tag Editor
total redesign
predictive typing for artist + album (based on perfecttunes known artists)
default tags (shown when no tags present) can be edited: %appdata%\dBpoweramp\DefaultTagEdit.txt
Added new configuration option 'dBpoweramp Edit ID-Tags' for folders
bug fix: isrc would not read on all systems
bug fix: ACM wave compression would not always work on certain systems
bug fix: [tags]album artist,_COMMA_ [] works, [IFVALUE]album artist,[tags]album artist,_COMMA_[],NO ALBUM ARTIST[] does not (if have multi album artists)
BUG FIX: cd ripper: cd-text: genre would not populate if represented as binary
