HandHeld file format conversion
« on: April 15, 2018, 06:44:16 pm »
I want to export some music to a Handheld device using the conversion option at Handheld from FLAC to MP3.

I made a folder path to PC to hold converted music files before I copy to iPod later.

But after Handheld sync, MC23 created files as same FLAC without conversion.

Please advise me.

In MC23, only the 32 bit version supports handhelds.

MC24 is on the MC24 board now, in a thread near the top.  It supports handhelds in both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions.

Although Handheld Sync to a hard disk location always worked in all versions, regardless of 32 or 64 bit. It was just detection of non-drive based devices that didn't work.

If MC didn't convert, then you didn't have the correct settings.

Did you read the relevant Wiki articles?
https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Sync_Handheld
https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Handheld_Sync_Options

Specifically, which version of MC are you using? i.e. The latest: MC23.0.104 or MC24.0.15, or some earlier versions?

You have the Audio Mode set to "Specified output format only when necessary". When you are syncing to a hard disk folder the default file types supported setting is set to "*", so FLAC files are supported and there is no need to convert. So MC doesn't convert to MP3s.

Either change the "Files, Paths, & More > Support Types" to just MP3s, or change the "Conversion > Audio > Mode" to "Specified output format".

One more question that I could not find answer about copying PC device to iPod manually in wiki document.
I copied whole device directory to iTune that caused duplicated Playlist in iPod.
Should I copy Playlist only to iTune or both Artist folders, database.mpl and Playlist ?
How can I avoid duplicated playlist ?
Please advice me.

Stack drive low in space error. where is stack drive setting ? I have 900 GB space on Drive for conversion.

Sorry, I've never used an iPod so I don't know how to help you.

It isn't a MC issue, so you won't find that advice in the Wiki. There must be advice on the internet somewhere.

UTF song titles and file path are all broken at m3u playlist with MC24 when Handheld format conversion done.

.\..\?\12 ? ?.mp3
.\..\???_???\13 ?? 60? ? ?.mp3
.\..\???_???\14 ?? ?? ? ? ???.mp3

As I tried at 2 different Windows 10 Platform, one is PC desktop and the other is VAIO notebook with both MC24.
PC version of MC24 created correct UTF title and file path in playlist but not with VAIO notebook.
Both Windows "Language" setting is identical, English primary and Korean is next.
Any MC options that may describes UTF character ?

Google "Windows 10" UTF filename.

i.e. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd317748(v=vs.85).aspx

As it works on your PC, it could be that your VAIO uses an OEM Codepage that isn't compatible, or maybe even the PC drive is formatted in NTFS but the VAIO is formatted in FAT?

All of its Windows 10 language function works fine, such as file system, IN/OUTput with multi-language, display etc.
Only MC24 does it differently in VAIO.

As I understand, it works on one PC, but not on another.  If that's the case, I couldn't say what the problem could be.

Which computer has the JRiver library. I only get the "Apply DSP" option when syncing a handheld on the computer using a local library. When connected to a remote library, "Apply DSP" is missing. A large PITA for me as I have to use the server to sync my handhelds which is in my garage.
