Trim Silence: default settings (removes silence at the beginning or end of a track) ID Tag Processing: Deletions > Single Tag '' (the car does not display art, save space removing it)Īudio CD: Hidden Track Silence Removal, default settings (removes in track periods of silence) Multi-CPU Force: CPU 1 only selected (this allows the computer to be used normally whilst converting as only one file is processed at a time) Tracks will be placed in an Artist folder, no notion of albums are used, the car browses by folders and selecting an artist gives access to a whole artists music.īack on the Music Converter page, DSP effects are used to process the audio, the following effects: 'Output To' location is set by choosing 'Set Dynamic Naming':ĭynamic Naming to: album artist,\ For audio format, the best format for my car is AAC. 'Exclude All' is chosen to exclude all artists by default, and I work through the list only choosing artists I want in the car:ĭepending on how your audio is organized the same could be achieved perhaps by choosing folders on the HDD, however some of the artists I am selecting have tracks hidden on compilations, so choosing by metadata is the most efficient way.Ĭonvert is clicked and Music Converter displays, because we created a profile in Batch Converter, any selections made now in Music Converter will be remembered for this profile. Next 'Filter' is selected, and the Artist tab is selected. Without further a-do, lets begin, run Batch Converter, create a new profile named 'For Car' and select the root folder of your music, in my case drive M: Finally the audio tracks are processed, such as volume normalization so that all the audio is played at the same volume, also an adaptive normalization is used, this increases the volume of quiet parts of a track so it matches the loud parts, ideal in a noisy environment such as in the car. dBpoweramp will be setup to write the files to a location on the HDD, and later as new music is added to my main collection, Batch Converter will convert just the new files, saving time.
I will be using many new features of dBpoweramp R16 to select just the audio I want in the car, rather than my whole collection.
This thread details the steps I am going through to create a selection of music for my car.
