Can I set up to not play certain file types in the player?

Post by Derek S »

Hi all,

I use MM on my PC to play my "Flac" encoded files into my Hi fi to preserve the original quality for in home use.

I have also started encoding copies into MP3 for copying onto cds for use in the car where the loss of quality is less important but the abilty to get more music per CD is the priority.

I have used MM to encode the MPS into subdirectories of the FLAC files ie

"Kaiser Chiefs\Employment\" for the FLAC files and "Kaiser Chiefs\Employment\MP3" for the MP3's

My problem is that MM adds the MP3 files to the library thus if I select an album to play at home, MM lists (and plays) both sets of files, even though I only have MM set to be associated with FLAC files in the options.

I can of course select the MP3's after encoding and "Remove from Library", however this then stops me from easily making the car cds.

Is there any way I can retain the MP3's in the library, but set the player up to ignore them and play FLAC files only at home ?

Cheers
Derek
