[kameyameya]

hi guys ,

*www.dbpoweramp.com/

But mp3 support in dbpoweramp is paid AFAIK.

 

[Nemesis]

If mp3 support is paid then what would you use dbpowerAMP for? MP3/WAV conversion is absolutely free and if you download codecs, you can convert to and from other formats too (.aac for example)

 

[mehulved]

Ok only mp3 encoding is paid. Else its free sorry.
BTW its a great s/w and I am using it with Wine under linux as of now.

 

[Nemesis]

MP3 encoding is free too. I don't understand what you are referring too but ripping CDs and converting between different file formats is entirely free. Like I said, download the appropriate codecs and you can convert to other file formats too.

The CODEC required to compress "************************" could not be opened.

This is the message I get every time I try to reduce the bitrate of any mp3 file, although the lame mp3 encoder is present by default in the program...

 

[mehulved]

Well nemesis I am confused now can you tell me what does their site mean when they say "mp3 encoding is paid"?

Hey u can use "Sony Soundforge 7.0 or 8.0" to change the bit rate of the MP3 songs...In fact u can change between different formats or u can even change the bit rates for any other format.....

Any version Nero 6.6 above and 7.0 above shall do this

OR

Try Audacity (Free/Open Source)

Or

Goldwave (allows batch encodind as low as 16 kbps)

@tech_your_future: I guess they made the MP3 encoder paid with later versions. It was free earlier and I'm still using version 9 or 10.

 

[mehulved]

All right nemesis but can u explian me what exactly that means?

 

[mobilegeek]

That means .. the new version is not fully Freeware now .. thats it.

 

[dOm1naTOr]

Try Easy CD extractor. Its latest version is somewhat free. It is very nice and fast too . I use it very often!!

Use MusicMatch Juke Box it has a option of converting files from one format toanother and also change the bitrate of a mp3 or wma file,,, just goto File>Convert,,,, this option is also available in the trial and demo version of MMJB
