After the codec pack addon has been installed

Options, Autoconversion rule, To Format M4A, Customize, ALAC

They haven't released the build with the ALAC encoding feature yet. I guess they are probably waiting for beta testing alongside 4.1.

Not sure either, from the Mantis entry it would seem to be an option, but I didn't see one.

[quote="Lowlander"]It would seem it was added to the AAC plugin (thus would be expected in the MM plugin): http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=4797[/quote]

Well, I guess I don't understand this. The codec pack (Monkey Codec Pack 2.0.2.17) is installed.

If I choose aac in MM and do a conversion, I still have a compressed (5mb) file with an aac suffix.
What choice for a file lossless file??

thnx,

More details -

I converted a flac file (17.1 mb) to "m4a" using [b]MM [/b]and the [b]new codec[/b]. Same file converted to "m4a" by [b]dbpoweramp[/b].

The MM conversion is 7.6mb m4a file (much smaller), reported as compressed (AAC).

The one converted by dbpoweramp is 17.37mb m4a, reported as lossless (perfect)

[i]Both have a m4a suffix[/i]. So I clearly don't get it. Is there as way to convert FLAC to Apple lossless using MM???


thnx,

I want to put Apple lossless music tracks on my iPod, currently stored as flac on my PC in my MM library.

I just downloaded [i]Monkey Codec Pack 2.0.2.17[/i] and installed it, with the intention of having MM convert when syncing from FLAC to Apple Lossless. But its not clear what format to choose - m4a? m4b? other?

I would check the documentation for the codec pack, if there was any....

Any info? thnx....
