dBpoweramp supports practically every audio type created: mp3, mp4, m4a (iTunes / iPod), wma, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, Monkeys Audio, FLAC, the list goes on....fully compatible with Windows Vista, 98 / ME / NT4 / 2000 and Windows XP. Split into four components:

CD Ripper

• Compilation tag (also used in naming) taken from compilation check, not by checking for differing artists
• When create a new profile offers to use the current one as template
• Compilation, conductor & style tags created by default
• All meta data items are shown in meta section, excluded (for id tags) are shown in light gray
• All meta data items list shows [x] instead of [Remove]
• If the option to disable autoplay is enabled, then every second the status of the CD drive is polled, to autorefresh when CD is inserted, auto press eject button when CD draw is open, also stops windows autoplaying the CD when closing CD ripper
• Pressing the eject button when the draw is open, closes it
• Auto eject CD should function more reliably
• Win98 the convert window cli from CD ripper, or music converter was not closing after rip, plus was shown
• Edit id tag (from right click >> edit tag) no longer locks explorer window whilst editing
• Edit id tag displays common id elements blank if a track has no tags
• Edit id tag - remembers the last position of the window + if window is large enough (starting from last time only), the elements have extra room to show
• Naming added [length_mmss], [length_hhmmss], [composer] & [conductor]
• Reference: Pro Frequency Conversion enabled by default
• All programs: if running in debug mode, the debugging information will show even if program crashes
• Music Converter: No longer creates ARTIST id tags for naming if one does not exist (TITLE is created from filename if does not exist)
• Audio Properties page: Visually more smarter
• Wave decoder - if a wave file is PCM then does not use the fact chunk (could be wrong)

Bug Fixes

• CD Ripper - if using the abort after 1 unrecoverable then is marking the track as secure i, not insecure
• Windows 98 + ME: have weak bitmap drawing routines, even Internet explorer 5 can crash when drawing, R12 uses advanced drawing techniques and Windows 98 is just falling over, for Windows 98 + ME we replace the graphical buttons with standard buttons. Also applies to the % complete bar
• Windows 98 + ME: core converter would wait around (at 99%) after a conversion (when source was pipe, ie from CD Ripper)
• If wave encoder supplied last buffer as NULL and using frequency / ACM converter then last block might not be flushed
• CD Ripper - selecting a profile with the same encoder as last profile was not loading the settings for new profile encoder
• Music converter, finish button was not showing if window was minimized
