Batch Converter progress estimate is very incorrect

[fastfwd]

Release 2026-09-13. Batch Converter progress estimates are very over-optimistic.

Here, after 11 of 720 files (1.5%), dBpoweramp erroneously says that it has converted 10%, and it miscalculates the time remaining accordingly:

I appear to be seeing a regression or limitation when converting 7.1 FLAC to Apple AAC with dBpoweramp Music Converter for macOS.

dBpoweramp version: Release 2026-09-13 (2)

Source file according to macOS afinfo:
Data format: 8 ch, 48000 Hz, flac, from 24-bit source...

Running Release 2026-09-13. While batch converting on multiple cores to FLAC with DSP (Bit Depth -> Resample -> Bit Depth), Core Converter crashed.

Hi, been a user of the dBpoweramp suite of softwares for a while now, but I've had one issue that I have not been able to figure out for myself.

For context, Windows Media Player added small.jpg album covers to all my media sub folders and it was messing with my music players, so:

I have a mixed collection like many. However, for portable I go to the Apple encoders ALAC for iPod and Apple iTunes AAC for Portable/Phone, etc. Both of these really need to go down to 16bit 48/44.1khz from multiple high res sources.

I was wondering if there is (or I guess could be) a...

I've ripper hundreds of CD's in the past few months with the same software (a new, licensed version of dBPowerAmp CD Ripper), PC, and CD reader with no problems. However, I've just encountered a box set of 4 CD's (James Levine Conducts Brahms by RCA) where the first and sometimes the last tracks of...

Today I ordered the payed version of Asset. When clicking the link I come to the page where I can download the specific file. I downloaded the file and it's on my disk now. Asset-Linux-x64-2026-08-19.tgz
When I try to place this file in my Synology NAS. It says it's the wrong file. How do I get...

I see some slight differences between filenames when I use the same Dynamic Naming formula between a FLAC encoder and an Arrange Audio converter. This has to do with restricted character replacement set in advanced settings. Do the two encoders not use the same source of truth? I could send example...

I have the latest version of dBPoweramp Image Converter installed and I use it often to convert image files. I have a high-end processor with 16 cores (32 Logical Processors) but when I convert images in batch via the context menu, the application defaults to two cores. I was under the impression that...

Is there any particular reason why the new version of dBpoweramp doesn't use the latest version of LAME (4.0) by default? Looking at the release notes, it seems to consist of a few bug fixes, but nothing particularly controversial.

After updating to version 2026-09-05, CD Ripper frequently crashes on startup and/or after a few rips. Since updating yesterday, it has crashed 6 times (see attached).

I have uploaded the most recent crash log; please let me know if you'd like to see any of the others....

Immediately after click on 'Rip'.

This was a feature I requested and during testing seeing different block levels at compression of 0-2.

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...
