dBpowerAMP - the
swiss army knife of music convertersOver the past few years, whenever someone
asked me how to convert music file formats, I always referred them to
dBpowerAMP. I recieved some bad news this week. It seems dBpowerAMP's
music converter is no longer completely free. I saw that they now offer
the mp3 codec on a trial license because of legal reasons. Never
fear! I have found a link to the older completely free version.
So go get it now, I don't know how much longer the link to this freeware
version will last.
Update: The
LastFreewareVersion website has now hosted this version of dBpowerAmp
so you can always find it. Thanks mdm.
