dBpoweramp R16 [Windows]

[Spoon]

dBpoweramp R16 features a completely new and fresh interface design. Each aspect of dBpoweramp was evaluated with one goal, to streamline and improve user interactions, the final results speak for themselves.

CD Ripper headlines the new look, cleaner and sleeker. Discogs is added to the suite of metadata providers (including also GD3, SontadB Classical, Musicbrainz, freedb). High-resolution album art now sourced from PerfectMeta (in addition to GD3 and Musicbrainz).

Batch Converter has new filtering abilities: artists, albums or genres can be included or excluded from conversions. Coupled with new conditional encoding options (such as skipping existing destination files), it is easy creating a 2nd library for the car or phone.

ID Tag Editor sports a great design, with predictive typing, entering metadata has never been this easy.
