    CoreConverter.exe documentation

    Can anyone point me to documentation, or just instructions, for the commandline interface CoreConverter.exe?

    The only thing I found has very little detail:
    http://www.dbpoweramp.com/developer-cli-encoder.htm

    I cannot figure out how to set my desired bitRate...

    Re: CoreConverter.exe documentation

    What format are you trying to convert to? Most formats have the command-line parameters in their help files.

    dBpoweramp Reference allows compressions from the command-line, commands specific to this codec:

    -V 4 quality (VBR) based encoding (default -V 4 if not supplied)
    -b 128 constant bitrate (or ABR if --abr is supplied)
    --freeformat write freeformat mp3 (use with -b 320 to -b 640)

    -encoding="SLOW" "NORMAL" "FAST" (none supplied uses NORMAL)
    -freq="44100" (none supplied uses [as source])
    -channels="mono" "stereo" "joint stereo" "forced joint stereo" "dual channels" (non supplied uses [auto])
    -copyright_bit="1" "0" (none supplied uses "0")
    -original_bit="1" "0" (none supplied uses "1")
    -crc="1" "0" (none supplied uses "0")
    -force_iso="1" "0" (none supplied uses "0")

    Example: "c:\program files\illustrate\dBpoweramp\coreconverter.exe" -infile="c:\afile.wav" -outfile="c:\outfile.mp3" -convert_to="mp3 (Lame)" -V 2

    Thanks Spoon and LtData,

    Do you know where I can find a definitive list of parameters?

    LtData wrote, "Most formats have the command-line parameters in their help files"

    Does that mean the LAME help files? I'm not sure where to look.

    I ask because I am also interested in setting ID3 tags. '

    Best Regards,
    Ben

    No, the help files for the codec that are installed by dMC should have the parameters.

    Start --> Programs --> dBpoweramp Music Converter --> Help --> Codecs

    It seems to be unpublished. I was rather disappointed, for $38.

    I've resorted to reverse-engineering from the registry e.g. http://screencast.com/t/Cn2Ytk6UvC . Take care to follow the proprietary encoding.

    Please do tell me if you find a list.
