Somehow i had high hopes that dBpowerAMP would be the first music compression program that would be able to handle matroska audio files one day .....

Could I twist you arm to write a codec? It is pretty simple:

dBpoweramp needed to have a much superior structure than other, comparable programs when matroska implementation was simply done by writing a 'codec' plugin. Wediscussed this problem already a lot for both winamp and foobar2k, it seems we needed to write a plugin that will emulate another instance of the app also, so that the plugins for the audio codecs can be reused from the container plugin .....

Super easy , lets take it to email:

http://www.dbpoweramp.com/email.htm

any possibility to get the "Windows Explorer Integration - right click Convert To & popup useful information on audio files (such as bitrate, length)." without installing the whole program? or the same feature by another small program?

It is already small ~1.9MB - that if you really want to save 300KB you can manually delete the CD ripper part after install.

What's the status of Matroska support in dbPowerAMP?

Non existant.
