I started testing Db poweramp recently after advice from several forum members, thanks to all who suggested it.  I have been using it for several days now, and have decided its the ripper for me, I also downloaded "Album Art Downloader", to assist DB with the odd missing cover.  What I'm after now is a suggestions or two from users, on how best to set it up.  I will be using FLAC compression, with quality being my primary concern.  I would like to know if its possible to normalize volume levels between albums, if so how, please assume I am a basic PC user.  Any other suggetions are also welcome.

Re: DB Poweramp assistance

When in dbPowerAmp's CD Ripper, select the 'DSP' tab at the bottom of the screen, then select 'Add DSP', from the drop-down box select 'Add DSP Effect' and select 'Volume Normalize'. You'll have several options, I tend to use Peak to Peak.

Re: DB Poweramp assistance

Thanks Pete, is it possible to edit track names in DB, when a CD is not recognised. ÿAll album data can be added at the top.

Re: DB Poweramp assistance

Yes, if you highlight the track by double clicking on it, it'll allow you to change the track names.

Or right-click the track and choose "Rename".


Type the name of the track and then hit the return key and it'll automatically open the next track name for renaming, which is a nice little touch I thought.


I use this for playing music on my PC, using FLAC, I like the mix option, which I use with a 20 second overlap (I wish Sonos could do this!), although as far as sound quality is concerned I think MediaMonkey actually sounds better for playback, no idea why, but MM is too chunky for me, I like the minimal on-screen control with DbPowerAmp.
