    dBpa Converter forcing FLAC level 5

    Hello,
    I am trying to change some 24/192 FLAC files from Level 5 to Level 2 compression (FLAC5 -> Wave -> FLAC2 as I'm cautious), but when I convert the Wave files I get the same compression...

    Re: Anyone having problems with ID Tag Update?

    Thanks for the reply Spoon, I understand now. As I said, not a real issue at all, one just has to be a touch careful, especially at 2 o'clock in the morning. By the way, thank you for the ID Tag...

    Seems like a caching/refreshing issue for me when reviewing results with the right-click pop-up. However, I am still not convinced that it was consistent. Still it seems OK, so what the hell ...

    I have been using dBpa, with CD Ripper, on Win XP (32-bit) for several years and have been very happy with it. I now am acquiring a new machine which will run on Windows 7 64-bit. I have seen some...

    Save MC Dynamic Renaming settings

    Could the Music Converter 'Dynamic Renaming' function, and the 'Arrange Audio' 'codec'/function, be enhanced by saving the specified settings. To be completely clear here: by 'settings' I mean the...

    Re: Handling track gaps
