Can somebody walk me through with how to convert my music into XA format with this program? I want to convert it to play in DPL. I can't understand how to do it.

If I'm not mistaken, you have to drag the file of the song that you want to convert, and past it in the icon of the program. Sorry if I can't help, as I don't have DPL for PC.

That's okay. I'M GLAD SOMEONE TRIED! Unfortunately, it does not work like that. You have to know some kind of code to get it to work, which is really stupid. I just don't know how to put the code in properly.

I hope this works, cos its damn hard to explain; ensure that the converter and the file you want to convert are in the same folder, then go to Start > programmes > accsesories and look for Command prompt and open it;
You should now have a window with a black background and something like C:/ > in white. If the converter is in the C drive and it says C in the white writing, then skip to step 2
1: type the letter of the drive you want to change to followed by a : (so you would get F:) and hit return (or enter)
2: now we need to find the directory you put the stuff in, it is easiest if you move it to a new folder in the main part of the c drive (called the root directory) then type cd followed by the name of the directory, so i would type cd bob to go into the C:/Bob/ folder, then hit return.
3: type dir to show the contense of the folder, it should read like this:
Name Extension Some more irrelevant stuff
..
application EXE
music MP3

this means you have done it right
4: the the name of the application followed by /? so i would type application.exe /? Pushing enter should display the instructions for using the application.
5: The most likely way to use the application is to type the application's name followed by the music files name, e.g. application.exe music.mp3 then press enter

All of this information should have been in the readme, is there one, as this is usually the best place to start?

I know all of that, BUT HOW DO I CONVERT?! Someone just post a video please.

I contacted the creator of the program, and he explained it to me:
