I'm a long time dBpoweramp user as well (and highly recommend it). I personally don't use the multiencoder to create FLAC and mp3. I rip my CDs to FLAC and then separately use dBpoweramp to convert the FLAC files to mp3 (Lame -V2) for use in my iThings. For me, no matter how careful I am in ripping to FLAC and making sure metadata is correct, I often notice something I want to change about the tags after the fact. And if it is a multidisk set, I redo the ReplayGain tags using all disks in set to set ALBUM level RG tags. Once I'm 100% happy with FLAC file tags, album art, etc., I can then easily point the dbpa converter to my FLAC file parent directory and tell it to convert to mp3 and place the files (using same directory organization scheme (Artist/Album/tracks) in a parent MP3 directory. It knows which FLAC files have already been converted, so it only converts the new FLAC files I've added, so very simple. I just run this every few weeks to keep my mp3 directory up to date. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105561 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
