Rockyboy, given that you got your current setup working, I doubt you'll have any problems with dbPoweramp. It's menu interface is a little different than standard Windows programs but it's not that big of a deal. I think I remember having to turn on the secure ripping feature and the AccurateRip system but that may have changed in recent versions. I really like the fact that it compares several online services for metadata. Getting this info right is extremely important down the line. I've not used jRiver so I can't comment on its usability.
iRiver and dbPoweramp connectivity
Hello, I just purchased an Astell & Kern ak120, and also just purchased dbPoweramp to rip CD's to load onto the player. Sound quality is excellent. I am having a little difficulty though navigating the iRiver software and loading music onto the player. It is not as "plug and play" as iTunes. When I rip Cd's using dbPoweramp, the iRiver software does not seem to locate the newly added music. I have engaged in a 3+ step process to rip CD's to a Music folder or into the iRiver folder with dbPoweramp, re-start the iRiver software so it scans the computer and recognizes the new music that was just loaded onto the computer, and then transfer the new music file into the iRiver library, before transmitting it into the ak120. I am hoping that this old dog can be taught some new tricks to make this less cumbersome. Thanks for any insight.
