Build: dBpoweramp Music Converter, macOS, R2026-09-05 (confirmed on Windows as well)
Encoder: FLAC (libFLAC 1.5.0)

The release note for this build reads "FLAC...

I have updated to the most recent version and now when I manually enter track names they do not stick unless I also modify the Tag name as well. That was never the case before. Thank you for your help.

Hi Spoon,

I was editing some tags this morning and noticed a change that is annoying to me when using the keyboard to complete an edit on a tag.

For example, start typing the first few letters of genre, such as Alt and Alternative comes up. Then hit enter on the keyboard to...

Hello everyone. I installed the trial version of ckware/asset-upnp on my NAS via Custom App (Docker) – everything works great. I want to purchase a license, but I'm worried about the hassle of installing the registered version. What pitfalls might I encounter? Has anyone used the registered version...

I have recently updated from R16.6 to 2026.05.25 and would like to convert some dsf files to flac which I know have no musical content above 20kHz. Should I use the DSD Decoder to convert directly to 44.1kHz or should I first convert to 96kHz and then use the new ARDFTSRC to downsample to 44.1kHz?...

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to understand a couple of things about AccurateRip results and differences between ripping software.

I’ve noticed that several tracks from a CD do not appear to have any AccurateRip database results, even though other tracks from the same disc do....

I'm trying to configure Batch Ripper to create separate Disc N subfolders for multi-disc releases, while leaving single-disc albums without the extra folder.

My naming string is:

Hello,
Regarding this music CD:
https://redump.info/disc/134862

Track 19 and 39 do not match AccurateRip, but at least the expected hashes are the same in both logs.

The issue is that track 40 expects different hashes in track-by-track mode vs. image mode, and I...

Hi,
I’ve noticed some odd behavior with Batch Ripper recently.
I have long had my GD3 account configured on all my Windows 11 PCs running Batch Ripper. Nothing has changed in the setup, other than Windows 11 updates. I’ve noticed that the PC + Nimbie NB21BR configuration results...

I use the software almost every day since I have been ripping a large collection and I have not had any issues with album art until Friday (2 days ago). When I insert a CD, the software will provide me about 1-4 images from the default meta databases (such as AccurateRip, etc.). In the past, it would...

I've been using dBpoweramp CD Ripper for a good 4 years or so, and I no longer get updates since my reference is so old, but suddenly in the last 48 hours or so I discovered that when I go to retrieve additional cover options, it is only giving me the provider covers as an option. The search for additional...

I have a current licence for Reference dBPA and Perfect Tunes on my desktop pc. I need to renew to continue receiving updates in 2 days. I want to install to my desktop and my portable. What do I need to buy to do so: Family Pack or does a single user licence allow 2 pcs for the same user?

Hi,
Back in 2020 I successfully ripped nearly 500 CDs using dbPowerAmp and a Nimbie NT21.

I have just got the Nimbie back out to rip another load of CDs and have fallen foul of the Windows update blocking unrecognised drivers.

I think I have done all I need to to get...
