i've been using dbpoweramp to convert and tag since 2004. all of a sudden it won't convert. i've already uninstalled and reinstalled it. still no luck. any ideas?
Please can you provide more details, like:
What version and platform/OS is dBpoweramp installed on?
What format are you converting from and to?
What errors messages do you get, if any?

I am running Win7 pro. I am trying to convert mp3's from 320 bitrate to 128 bitrate. There is no error message. The file just stays at 320 bitrate. I have already allowed dbpoweramp through the windows firewall and my AV.
When converting, what have you set in Output To in the dBpoweramp Music Converter window?
Music\Source Path\Source Filename

The source files are in a folder on an external drive called unfinished downloads. This is the same drive where all my music is located. There is a separate folder for every artist, but I don't move them to the artist's folder until they're edited. i.e. renamed, tagged, converted and sometimes cleaned for quality.
Should I give up with dbpoweramp?
You have any DSP effects? such as conditional encode?

I did have DSP effects, but I removed them in an effort to get dbpoweramp to work. No luck there either.
Run dBpoweramp Control Center >> Configuration 'Advanced Settings' and scroll to the end and enable the Debug option. Convert 1 file and post the results from the log at the end (they will show in notepad after conversion).

"Encoder Settings: Constant Bit Rate 320 kbps (Free-Format)"
This says that the program thinks the options are set to 320kbps Free format, select the CBR option, not free format.

There lies the problem. I have it set to CBR 128 bitrate. Evidently it's not accepting my settings.
And it doesn't create a temp file like it always did.
