    1 bug, 2 feature requests

    .. to report:

    Bug: (well maybe known).. I got too eager and told dbpoweramp to start two conversion processes at the same time. Big mistake, it paniced and crashed. I guess the reason was that I used the same destination drive and it tried to write two ~dmcin files in there.

    Perhaps you should consider either adding a seed to the dmcin file, or, maybe even better: unpack the .wav file to the directory the source is in with a similar filename to the source (~dmcmymusictrack.wav)

    Because:

    Feature request: while converting from wav to something, the decoding step can obviously be skipped. Why is it copying .wav to .wav? Let it just use the original wav and forego the 'decoding'?

    Feature request: Some people favour ripping a CD with EAC to one single wav + cue file, and then convert the wav to .ape. (Im one of those people).. but to then create mp3's off those sources is a big hassle. (1/ decode with winamp to .wav 2/use eac to split from cue file, 3/recode.. 4/ retag, tags are probably lost..)Could you perhaps teach dbpoweramp to know what a 'cue' file is, let it find the source file (.wav / .ape) from this cue or if it can't be found manual selection, cut and decode, then encode? (if possible without creating huge CD-size temp files?)

    Addendum to that last bit:

    Some people also do the same with .mpc (one big 60M file and a cue), ogg, mp3 etc. Main reason is gapless playback for 'live' tracks.

    Some generic 'intelligence' with .cue files would be Neato(tm)

      It should work like that once Cue support is added.
