Hi
is there any way to code ape files in mp3 320kbs CBR with foobar?

Yes.

Are you using 0.8.3 or 0.9 beta?

If you are using 0.9 beta go to edit the MP3 (LAME) Converter profile in Preferences, amend the dropdown to "Custom", then change the "Parameters" value to:

-b 320 - %d

Thanks that does the trick!!!

this is not working at all. the sound is terrible. What is wrong?

There's a possibility something's really wrong, but then, there's another possibility that you are imagining things.

Please describe what's happening, in a more detailed way.

I'm trying to do the same but I get an error with all .ape files (using 0.9 b13):

Unable to read info from files:
"E:\New\a.ape" (0) - Unsupported format or corrupted file
[...]

When i try to just play the files I get the same.

Is .ape support broken in this version or is something else causing it? other files play fine.

It sounds like you do not have the APE decoder installed. Get it here:

Thanks!
