About dBpoweramp
dBpoweramp Music Converter combines a batch audio converter and a CD ripper. It converts between FLAC, MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless, WAV, WavPack, Opus, Ogg Vorbis and DSD, keeps tags and artwork, uses multiple CPU cores and can convert straight from Windows Explorer.
The ripper verifies rips against AccurateRip, which the same developer created, and pulls metadata from five providers along with high-resolution album art. DSP effects include ReplayGain, volume normalization and HDCD decoding. The developer also sells separate video and image converters.
