In This Release:

This new release features many enhancements, it is 20% faster on multi-core machines and is future-proofed through handling 64 cores. A new DSD encoder is included as standard (Reference), as well as many previously optional codecs, which are all updated to the latest releases. A new Quick Convert right explorer right click menu is a welcome addition to those who have many conversions to run a day, skipping over the codec options page, saving time. CD Ripper gains a manual metadata search page, de-emphasis CDs handling and improvements to metadata searching.

Minimum supported Windows: Vista (XP no longer supported)
New explorer right click option 'Quick Convert' which invokes the converter without showing the options page
CD Ripper & Music Converter handle [Multi-Encoder] internally, this allows file overwrite and proper CPU resource allocation
All programs - added a crash reporter
All Programs - Graphics upgraded to be independant of display resolution
All programs - better handle High Contrast Theme

Support for artist in m3u playlist
dBpoweramp Control Centre: Tests if Windows defender is limiting access to the system and warns

Naming added [SPLIT] for exmaple artist was 'A1/A2/A3/A4' [split]/,[artist],2[] would return 'A2' to split on comma enter [split],[artist],2[]
Naming updated [REPLACE] can replace with , or search , buy setting a blank entry: [REPLACE],@,[artist][] would replace , with @
Updated naming dlg for Move File On Error DSP effect
New conversion option: substitute Unicode spaces and remove leading or ending spaces in tags - there are various non-standard unicode space characters (such as thin space), these will be replaced with a standard space. Also white spaces at the start or end of tags are removed.
Popup info: if a zero byte file then says so
Edit ID Tags >> Art Menu >> Added 2000x2000, 1800x1800, 1600x1600, 1400x1400, 1200x1200 options
Menu check marks larger on higher dpi screens

You can safely let it access the internet, I've never blocked it and it's always worked fine.

Fast converter but the disadvantage is and remains that dbPowerAmp is not able to extract the tracks from the cue sheet.

Yeah. About that. Because it's an audio converter, not a cue splitter. ;)

That is to create bin cue files, not for extract.

You don't know what your talking about,  it also creates  tracks  from bin cue files flac and wav  i been using it for years for making tracks before i convert it to lossy . I never needed EZ CD Audio Converter for that . Only reason i use to use  EZ CD Audio Converter was TAC open source stop  getting updates  and dBpoweramp  didn't  have high bitrate  for AAC m4a  like the others  but i tested  dBpoweramp  again like a year ago and now it does have it so i installed it in windows and used it instead.  it even works great in codeweaver's crossover  in Linux  i was using Fre:ac on Linux before but now im using dBpoweramp on Linux . :clap:

 

Use cases

  • Convert a single file album image with CUE sheet to a file-per-track album image
  • Convert a file-per-track album image with CUE sheet to a single file album image
  • Convert a file-per-track album image without a CUE sheet to a single file album image with simple CUE sheet
  • Convert an album image from one lossless codec to another, preserving CUE sheet structure
  • Verify a (possibly non offset-corrected) album image against AccurateRip database
  • Apply offset correction to a rip made without offset correction
  • Prepare an album image for burning with software, which does not handle drive write offsets, by applying offset
  • Extract an album image directly from a RAR archive without unpacking it, and save it in a different format
  • Fix filenames in a CUE sheet, if the files were renamed or converted to a different format.
  • Compress to LossyWAV, creating a lossy output + correction file.
  • Convert a HDCD image to 24-bit / 20-bit / lossyWAV 16-bit audio files (irreversible).
