Hi.  I need to be able to convert FLAC to 320aac periodically.

I have successfully configured External Encoding dbpoweramp and Nero AAC to generate a low bit rate m4a as follows

-infile=%IN -outfile=%OUT -convert_to="m4a Nero (AAC)"

it works, but only at the default quality setting, which is like 125.  How do *I* specify the quality setting?

if i add "q .95" it doesn't work, what is the secret to specifying Nero quality from MC15?  I see other examples of -cli_cmd= but I am confused since I can't get it to work.

thank you

Try googling for Nero quality setting or similar.  -q.95 might work.

my solution:


Encoder: External Encoder

Filename: C:\Program Files (x86)\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\CoreConverter.exe

Parameters:

Code: [Select]

-infile=%IN -outfile=%OUT -convert_to="m4a Nero (AAC)" -cli_encoder="C:\Program Files (x86)\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\encoder\m4a Nero (AAC)\neroAacEnc.exe" -cli_cmd="-q .55 -ignorelength -if - -of {qt}[outfile]{qt}"(change the -q.55 to the desired quality)

Extension: m4a

Encoder support large filenames: checked
Use source file as is: checked    <---- this will make dbpoweramp to save the tags on the final file
Hide Command window: checked

---
dont forget to put your own paths if are differents than mine!
