dBpoweramp for Apple OS X

dBpoweramp previously Windows only, is now available on Apple OS X (Mountain Lion or newer).

Regulars of dBpoweramp on Windows will instantly feel at home: Converting tracks, with Finder integration make editing tags and instigating conversions quick and easy. Batch conversions take the hard work out of whole library conversions. CD Ripper employs the same secure ripper, with AccurateRip, c2 error pointer support, utilizes 5 metadata providers for consistent and high quality metadata, finally multi-encoder enables two or more audio formats to be created at time of ripping.

I remember really liking the paid-version of dBpoweramp on Windows so it's good to see this option on OSX now as well.

Congrats! I just tried it out and it's running great. I love using XLD but all the DSP and extras from dBpoweramp are so helpful.

My big request would be adding the Apple AAC codec as it is included with the OS.

Are there any reason to use this over XLD considering XLD is free and this has a high price tag.

You can try it for 21 days, no obligation then come to your own conclusion.

I tried the beta and just expected Apple's AAC to be available. Not having Core Audio (Core Audio AAC and ALAC) is an odd choice for sure.

The other issue I had when testing is that I couldn't find a way to rip to image+cue. Has that changed in the release version?

If I could chime in about dBpoweramp's benefit over XLD it would mainly be down to metadata, the former being best in class for artwork and tags when ripping. Not a problem if you use iTunes to load the metadata from Gracenote and let XLD use that. Oh and I guess dBpoweramp is a bit quicker at doing secure rips.

I can't say anything about dBpoweramp's converter as I don't use it (no way from cue sheet album sources), and again, lack of Core AAC would be a problem.

Core Audio is not yet supported, however ALAC is, select Apple Lossless from the Encoder menu.

Image and cue are not supported on the OS X version, sorry.
