MediaMonkey forum

Hi there. I'm new to the site, and have recently discovered the power of scripting with MM.

The task I am attempting to do is convert audio tracks to another format via script call. I know of the manual way to do this (Tools -> Convert Format), but I would really like to be able to do this programmatically. More specifically, I am in the process of ripping my CD library into MM and would like to have both MP3 (for my iDevices) and FLAC (for the Android I am getting in the near future). Rather than ripping every CD twice, or ripping once then manually converting each time, I'd like to make an OnTrackAdded script to convert files as they are added to my library via CD ripping.

After looking through some of the SDB objects in the API (http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.p ... on_objects) I am not seeing a call that does the conversion. Maybe I need to look harder?

Am I able to accomplish this task? Or am I bound to do this manually through the provided tool?

Version: MM Gold 4.1.5.1719

You are aware that MediaMonkey can auto-convert on-the-fly while syncing which albeit it slows sync down a little bit will make media management much easier.

I was not aware of this feature. That will certainly allow me to ascertain my goal, thank you But I am still curious to know if an audio conversion can be done via a script call or if it must be done manually.
