Illustrate heeft een nieuwe versie van dBpoweramp Music Converter uitgebracht. Met dit audiobewerkingsprogramma kunnen audio-cd's worden geript en kunnen muziekbestanden van en naar onder andere mp3, m4a, wma, Ogg Vorbis, aac, Monkey's Audio, flac en alac worden geconverteerd, met behoud van tags. Verder kunnen de mp3-tags worden aangepast en kan het programma volledig in Windows Explorer worden geïntegreerd, waardoor het gemakkelijk aan te roepen is. De basisversie voor het rippen van cd's en het converteren van bestanden is gratis. Voor extra functionaliteit moet worden betaald. Het programma is beschikbaar voor Windows en macOS. In deze uitgave zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
Release 2025-11-12
- New Resampler! we have worked hard for the last 3 months to bring this to fruition. The resampler is called ARDFTSRC and has many advantages over SSRC, which is one of the best resamplers out there. ARDFTSRC is able to specify arbitrary sample rates to convert to, such as 123456Hz. New global options for resampler used (Control Center >> Adavanced), also options for Maximum Bandwidth and Minimum phase (less pre-ringing) options available. The DSP effect Resample allows selection of modes to override the global setting.
- CD Ripper & ID Tag using new Windows Image Acqusition method to scan, always show system scanning dlg to scan (dropped extra option in menu to show settings)
- Goodbye 32 bit, we have retired 32 bit programs and now only supply 64 bit versions of dBpoweramp. 64 bit CPU have been sold for 20+years, there is not a market for 32 bit anymore.
- Using new file selection code, if run Converter can now choose hundred of thousands of tracks
- Redone overwrite check, now a 2 stage process, speeded up and removed app freeze whilst it does checking, converting 250K files takes minutes to check, not an hour
- Overwrite form, Unique button functions better
- MP4Handler new Apple tag fields
- MP4Handler tag writer added picture data sanity checks
- mp4/m4a update, more efficient parsing of very large files
- Lame updated to 3.101.b3 with q4 patch (windows and macos) and avx512 optimisations (windows)
- Bit Depth DSP: Added 64 bit IEEE-float
- Sample Rate Conversion: new ARDFTSRC resampler method.
- Global resampler quality and choice setting, as well as ability to override on Resample DSP effect.
- Wavpack encoding mode high and extra high labelled differently
- CD Ripper: for discs with no metadata, if apply track offset then Track names change accordingly. Also Title always shown as 'Track X' when no metadata.
- CD Ripper: manual Track Offset applied to a disc saved in dB Cache (metadata)
- Bug Fix: CD Ripper: Pre-Empthasis fix where it was not being correctly applied / or applied to other tracks which had no pre-empthasis (would require one track on disc to be pre-empthasis)
- Bug Fix: Volume Normalize DSP would not read IEEE_FLOAT correctly if passed in a WaveFormatExtensible header
