How to Auto-Organize preffered format

Postby sammalone » Wed Jun 06, 2012 6:22 am

Been using MM for a couple of years now and very happy with it but I'm trying to do something that I can't figure out how to....

I have some files which are in mp3 and also the same titles in flac format. What I'd like to do is auto-organize these files such that, where a title exists in several formats, only copy/move the flac format files.

Can MM do this?

I could do it manually but it's over a thousand files!

Cheers

Might have found the answer - Track Redirection plugin. Still playing though...

No, but why keep the MP3 copy if you have a FLAC version of it?

Hi!

I'm having the same problem: I want to store Flac and MP3 (MP3 for streaming and for downloads to my phone when I'm on my way). My problem: Mediamonkey shows every File twice in the Album view. So if I want to play an Album I get a playlist like:

1. song 1.flac
2. song 1.mp3
3 song 2.flac
4 song 2.mp3
and so on...

Did you find a solution for this, too?

You don't need to keep an MP3 copy for streaming/syncing as MediaMonkey can convert FLAC to MP3 on the fly for streaming/syncing.

However you could use a Collection with criteria Extension is not MP3 to just play your FLAC files within MediaMonkey itself.

Streaming is handled by my NAS Buffalo Linkstation. To use MediaMonkey for Streaming I would have to use a Coputer with running MediaMonkey.

I will check this out!
