dBpowerAmp Music Converter
Often called the Swiss army knife of audio, dMC can digitally rip
sound from audio CDs to a multitude of formats. Convert from one
format to another while preserving ID tags. Nearly every audio
type is supported, including MP3, MP4, Windows Media Audio (WMA),
OGG Vorbis, AAC, Monkey's Audio, and FLAC (with optional installs
from Codec Central). Windows Explorer integration. Right-click
convert to and pop-up information for audio files (such as bit
rate and length). Record from LPs with auxiliary input. New version updates MP3 decoder: freeform MP3 files supported, correct
reading of all MP2 and MP1 files. Lame MP3 tag reading (will show
profile used or encode in pop-up information). MP3 lame
compression self converts incoming data to correct format (i.e.
MP3 is only 2 channel, might be passing 6 channel audio) shouldn't
now be possible to get an MP3 encoder to fail.
This mostly standard audio utility simply converts files and rips
CDs, but it works without a hitch. dBpowerAmp Music Converter has
separate interfaces for extracting audio from discs and batch
converting tunes. In our tests, the program showed good speed. It
can even rip some protected audio CDs and includes a basic player.
It queries CD information from the Web and can automatically
create subfolders and name tracks. To keep the download size
small, it only includes MP3 (LAME) and WAV codecs, though you can
easily download and install additional components from the
publisher's site. Similar to other utilities in this genre,
dBpowerAmp Music Converter lets you determine the audio quality of
your new files, though it also offers an ample number of presets.
Also, unlike some competing programs, this demo will let you rip
or transform as many files as you like for a full month. Most
people who rip and convert audio files occasionally will find
something to like about dBpowerAmp Music Converter, particularly
novices.
