Duplicated Library and Transcoding question

Post by FlashmanAB »

Hi, I have a library of FLAC and ALAC files. The library is a duplication and I want to get rid of my ALAC files, but I want to ensure I have them in my FLAC library first.
Do you know of a way to do this in MM?
If I transcode my AAC and MP3 libraries to FLAC, what settings do I use?

1) There's no method to check if a file has a duplicate in another format. You could use Duplicate Titles, maybe Advanced Duplicate Finder can help: http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/inde ... ate-tracks

2) there is no point to convert from a lossy to lossless format. You'll only increase filesize without improving quality.
