Sync FLAC library to MP3 library

Post by somy »

Hi,

Is there anyway in MM4 to sync from a FLAC library to MP3 library?
Assume both libraries are on the same harddrive.

Thank you very much in advance!

USBMass_1.dll can sync to drive letter and thus it could be done. You can also use Convert.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I have tried USBMass_1.dll to sync from one folder to another folder with conversion from Flac to MP3, and I noticed a few things:
1. After all files have been converted, I manually modified lyrics of one Flac file, and ask MM to sync again, but MM didn't detect the change and it didn't re-convert the changed file.
2. For a song with multiple artists, MM4 changed them to one artists with "/" in between artists. I tried the setting "Use Only The First Value When Multiple Artists / Composers Exist", but I got the same result (strange this option doesn't work at all!)

It is the latest stable release. You may want to capture each issue in a separate debug log (step 4b) (with #2 you can add a sample file) and send it to support: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... ?f=12&t=69
