Ripper Technology

Rip Secure & Fast rippers are either secure or fast at ripping, but never both, dBpoweramp throws away the rule book, read how AccurateRip makes it possible...,

AccurateRip compares your rip with the results from other people, if AccurateRip says your rip is error free, it is. dBpoweramp is able to obtain previously un-achievable levels of error recovery, through re-reading, c2 pointers and AccurateRip v2 (cross pressing verification). Illustrate invested huge resources redesigning how secure rippers function. In short, don't just rip your CDs, AccurateRip them.

Encoders dBpoweramp offers this full range of audio encoders:mp3, m4a (AAC iPod & iTunes), Windows Media Audio (WMA), Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Apple Lossless (ALAC) to name a few.

Multi-Encoder encode to multiple different formats at the same time, have FLAC for archive and PC playback and mp3 for portable player. CD Ripper encodes using all CPU cores simultaneously (up to 16 cores as required).

PerfectMeta™ uses 5 meta data providers simultaneously, allowing inevitable spelling mistakes to be corrected. PerfectMeta offers the best metadata solution obtainable today. Many competitors rely on a single provider, which can be sadly lacking, PerfectMeta uses premium meta providers: SonataDB (Classical) and GD3, in addition to MusicBrainz, Discogs and freedb.

SonataDB is a new classical database with extended fields: Composer, Conductor, Period, Instrument, Orchestra, Soloists.

Lets see PerfectMeta in operation, this CD is from Enya - The Celts:

As you can see there are lots of corrections (red elements) taking place, the final meta data is shown the left hand side). All metadata providers had errors, but the final corrected result exactly matches the CD, truly remarkable.

Album Art CD Ripper pulls high resolution art from GD3, PerfectTUNES and Musicbrainz, however there will be instances when the art does not match (often the same CD is released all over the world with different art), CD Ripper can search the entire Internet and show matching art for you to choose:

Digital Signal Processing (DSP) effects which can be applied whilst ripping, many effects such as decoded HDCD's to 24 bit, or industry standard EBU R128 volume normalize.

mp3 Converter included as standard (dBpoweramp Music Converter), convert and tag your existing files.
