Do I need to set DSP?

[AcB]

I am a new dbPoweramp user, so this may be a question that has been asked before: by default, there is no DSP setting/action set in the ripper. I have already ripped a number of CDs without a DSP setting. Is it necessary to set a DSP action at all, or can you rip without DSP and still achieve the same...

I've got a few hundred CDs I'm trying to rip and every time I put in a new cd with no meta data, its keeps trying to retrieve the CD-ISRC. This is very annoying because it takes an extra 30 seconds per CD to wait for it to complete retrieval of the CD-ISRC which these CDs dont have. I don't have the...

This has been going on for quite a while. We just purchased extensions for Mac and Windows versions and upon re-entering the registration code, get the message "Could not verify order number. Please try again later". This is why I even ordered an extension, hoping the problem would go away,...

The naming property for encoder extension doesn't seem to be functioning correctly in the music converter/batch converter after updating to Reference (R2025-11-12).

This naming string, for example…

Hi there,
Some years ago, I was running the cd ripper very effectively. I since moved to streaming services, but am now moving back to ripping cds.
I dug out some instructions a friend of mine gave me which included the following:

Brief preview: We have been re-ripping our entire CD collection for months using a Nimbie device. We have now installed the latest dBA update, and there are no longer any ID tags in the FLAC output file.
More precisely, only AccurateR data is available.

All metadata is visible during...

After ripping over 5200 CDs into flac files, I discovered a way to minimize read errors. Maguiars (the car wax company) offers a product called PlastX that's made for polishing polycarbonate headlight lenses. Since CDs are made of the same type of material, I tried using it on a CD that was giving me...

I have my entire CD collection (about 1TB worth) Ripped in both LAME 3.100 MP3 and FLAC 1.5 This latest release has a new LAME version, that while it may be better, I would prefer to stay on what I have (3.100), but would like all the other update features. Is it possible now or in the future to select...

Hi Forumites. I am a newbie just downloaded CD Ripper and trying it out. First album I have ripped to FLAC seems to have been done smoothly and quickly, but the ripped files have no track info beyond length of song: all the ten tracks show up as Track 1, Track 2 etc and no album or artist info at all....

Upgraded CD Ripper today to 2025-11-12 (not sure if that is relevant). I did not make any changes to my normal settings (multi encoder - FLAC and m3) and tried to rip a CD, but got the same error on every track:

Error writing audio data to StdIn Pipe [clEncoder::EncodeBlock]

I found the erroneus "C:\WINDOWS\system32\SpoonUninstall.exe" reference in the some codec uninstall string,
instead of C:\Program Files\SpoonUninstall\SpoonUninstall.exe etc
for example
dBpoweramp-Codec-FLAC.exe, dBpoweramp-Codec-WMA10Pro.exe

Probably that's...
