Problem installing WavPack Plugin Nero 12 Windows 7, official instructions are for earlier Nero or not applicable to Win7 Options

[Fleegle]

I want to convert WavPack to MP3 so that I can play them in iTunes and on iPod.

I downloaded Nero 12 trial, intending to buy when I can get this to work. I downloaded "Plugin for Ahead Nero Burning Rom" from WavPack.com. The instructions say to copy nxWavPack.dll to \program files\Common Files\Ahead\AudioPlugins. Obviously applies to earlier Windows version.

So I translated that into Win7 to mean put the DLL \Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Nero\... because there's a folder there and AFAIK Nero does not use the Ahead name anymore. Problem: there is no AudioPlugins folder. I created a folder with that name and put the DLL in it, but it had no effect.

I'm guessing the official instructions at WavPack.com apply to earlier versions of Nero and earlier versions of Windows. I've Google searched for an hour figuring that for sure somebody else has the same problem--and an answer--but found nothing. I searched Hydrogen Audio for a solution and found nothing.

In theory I should be able to get Nero 12 (Nero Recode) to import WavPack files and transcode them into any format supported by Nero. Can anybody please tell me how?

Thank you for the reply. I'm seriously looking over CueTools... I really don't want to install foobar2000 because I already have too many players (although admittedly none of them can convert my files). I'm in a situation where I really don't want to install much more software because my desktop is stored away (as is my test system) and my laptop is my sole link to reality (there is no reality besides the Internet, is there?).

I'm really looking for a way to make Nero work because it solves other additional problems for me, and it did convert my FLAC files okay. I really want Nero to work. I'm frustrated because from what I read Nero used to work. I'm especially frustrated because I paid for Nero 9 and maybe that might work. Could I install both Nero 9 and Nero 12? (Sounds like a really BAD idea.) Maybe I should just find my Nero 9 install media and install that and give up buying Nero 12... (I'm about there but I'll have to dig really deep in junk boxes to find Nero 9... and maybe I purchased it online and don't even have a disc--but I do have my product code!)
