I'm having this exact same problem and hope that it can be fixed in future releases.

Could you try a temp location to convert to and then use auto-organize?

I have tracks at 320 that I want to take down to 192 in the name of hard drive space, is that dumb?
And I'd like to do it efficiently.

you cant do that...


that is the dumbest thing to try and do.

what you are doing is using the first mp3 to make in to smaller mp3 and delete the orgianl mp3 at the same time?

best to send the smaller one to a temp folder then have media monkey rescan the temp folder after you do them all.


but why make the mp3 format smaller. you get below 196 kbps and you will start getting errors in the sound. mp3 is not really the best one to make small files with.

It seems that whenever I try convert a file (mp3 of high bitrate to mp3 of lower bitrate) by specifing the same path and filename as the original file, MM generate an error. Any thoughts recs?
