Transferring FLAC and WAV to SD card
« on: June 29, 2019, 02:30:43 pm »

I'm in the process of trying to transfer a large number of my WAV and FLAC albums from MC 24 to a SanDisk SD card. The WAV albums seem to transfer fine and display artist/album/song name but the FLAC albums show artist/album/track #....no song name. What am I doing wrong? I'm copying the albums to a playlist and then using 'Send To Drives/Devices with the sd card in my computer's usb drive using an adapter and have also used the Sync Handheld function with the sd card in my DAP (Hisisz AP80).

Try setting up the SD card as a handheld in MC's options.

I will but the problem seems to be that the albums ripped as FLAC appear on my hard drive as Media Center Files with no folder/file hierarchy whereas the WAV rips do.
When looking at the file names in JRiver, on a FLAC rip it shows the filenames like, for example,  "C:\Music\Moody Blues - A Question of Balance,flac;1"
So....how do I change the default filename structure to show the real song name vs "flac;1, flac;2, flac;3, etc?

OK, I just thought of something. I haven't ripped CD's to FLAC for quite some time....like one or two JRiver versions ago> SO I tried ripping a CD to FLAC with MC 24 and it worked fine and labeled the filename just like it does for WAV. So whatever the issue is with these older FLAC rips was with older JRiver versions.

Curious if anyone knows if this is also the reason why on my Astell & Kern 100 II that the FLAC files don't show up in the main directory but only in "folders".  I'm new to JRiver so wondering if there is something I'm not doing correctly.

In Handheld options, you can set what folder the files should be in.
