First a little background I have been using MC since version 12, currently using V16. I did recently do a trial of V30 but it has expired. I have been using the rename and move function for a long time with no problems. Recently the files moved won't play at all, they can be located externally and internally but I think there is a problem with the file type or encoding. When I try to play the file it doesn't play in MC or externally. A menu pops up asking how do I want to open this file. MC is listed along with other choices but still won't play. Is there a way to see what type of encoding is on a file? I am wondering if the encoder type (Monkey's Audio (APE) is causing the issue. When I try to convert the file to the MP3 encoder, message is Failed to convert, ensure file exists and are of a supported format. The file had to be supported because it did play in MC prior to moving the file, so any change was made by MC (whether I changed something or not it was within MC). I have a lot of music files so I will not do any more editing of files until this problem is resolved. Also the files are on an external drive if that makes any difference.
