Hi Spoon,

Thank you for your continued work—I’ve been following your forums for many years.

Apologies for the length and number of questions. I’ve consolidated them here for efficiency, and due to text limits, had to post in multiple parts. I hope that’s okay.

Hey there!
I'm planning to convert DSD64 to FLAC 16/44.1, and after browsing the web, I’ve come up with a few questions:

1. What should the ideal DSP chain look like for conversion? (a) What goes before what, and (b) If I hear a "click" after conversion, what DSP should I add and in what

Hi! I'm trying to rip a cd to .flac for the first time because there exist only .mp3 files of the album; however I'm getting inaccurate reads on only the last 2 songs, and the cd ejects in the middle of ripping the second to last. This happened with EAC as well so I switched to dbpoweramp.

Hi I recently downloaded EAC because I was trying to rip the Singles (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)[Deluxe Edition] from 2017, which I found out was an EU pressing. I use an ASUS BW-16D1H-U PRO blu-ray drive which I had bought in June 2022. and up till this point I had already ripped some 20-30...

Hello everyone,
I am a newbie and I am trying to fix a problem:
I am ripping my entire CD's collection in FLAC files, and I'm trying to do at its best.
I am using Exact Audio Copy, and the ripped files are excellent, but them all have the same problem: while the original file (on CD)...

This is my first post, so forgive me if I've posted here instead of a new feature request area (if one exists then please move post).

What is currently missing is a batch deletion feature. Let me elaborate, I was converting some 20,000 files from FLAC to WAV, once converted I wanted to...

I have a massive amount of ALAC (*.m4a) files that I'm trying to get to FLAC. Is this possible?

[Drugo]

In CD-Ripper 17.7 and 17.8 Beta 1 I cannot rip into FLAC or Apple Lossless because these codecs are not available (in the contrary to former versions).
The codecs are not available in the music converter as well

Does dBpoweramp support the new FLAC standard 1.3.4? https://xiph.org/flac/changelog.html

[deboopi]

I know there are some difficulties converting wav to flac.
Although I can see metadata in the wav file it does not get converted.
If there is a solution in the meantime I'd like to hear it.
I can live with the fact that I have to edit the converted file to add metadata manually...

FLAC supports 32-bit integer (not floating point though) however, when I try to convert a 32-bit integer WAV file to FLAC, I get an error message saying the bit depth is too high.

Thank you for your time!

Been away from ripping for a while and wanted to do a fresh rip of my CD library as a final kind of archive. Planned on doing FLAC single file per album with a CUE sheet. (Embedded or not, I don't know yet. Still learning about cue sheets.) But then I'm reading in Roonlabs forums that they don't...

Good evening,

I've been ripping my entire collection and have half a dozen discs out of maybe 400 so far that exhibit this problem.

The tracks seems to rip but won't write giving this error:-
