![]() This also means that you can encode from any filetype, irrespective of what QuickTime or iTunes support, such as FLAC or Monkey's Audio, as iTunes only have to encode from a WAV file. When used with programs like dMC and EAC, however, they first have to make an intermediary WAV file as it doesn't seem to support piping directly to iTunes. It encodes into either AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF (Macintosh equivalent to WAV), or ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) from any format supported by iTunes, such as WAV, MP3, MP4, or unprotected WMAs. This handy little commandline-utility simply hands the encoding over to iTunes, and by default leaves the resultant files in you iTunes library. However, on Windows, I'm only aware of one small utility that does this: iTunesEncode. Well, this is possible because iTunes and QuickTime have an API, or programmer interface, which 3rd party programs can use to convert, tag, and import songs or audiofiles into iTunes. If, like me, you're an iTunes user, and perhaps have an iPod, you may wish for greater integration between dBpoweramp Music Converter(dMC) and iTunes, and you may wish to not only have iTunes encode to AAC and tag your songs, but to have them automatically entered into the iTunes library without manually importing them. Parts are modified from the dBpoweramp Dynamic CLI Encoder help page and Dynamic CLI Tutorial, other information is derived from posts by the iTunesEncoder developer. So, I thought I'd take what I've learned and produce a How-To guide for using iTunesEncode with dBpoweramp Music Converter. So I've installed everything and experimented with the CLI Encoder and iTunesEncode with the help of the helpful Help documentation (more than can be said for EAC it's developed by a German student with limited time and limited English, so I don't blame him). There may be a guide or How-To somewhere, but I mostly came across a few hints in posts that it could use iTunesEncode, and finally found a reference to the CLI Encoder. ![]() I've just joined up and tried dBpoweramp r12.3, as I have so far been using Exact Audio copy (EAC) and have been looking around if it supports something akin to iTunesEncode which I've been using on EAC.
