Cannot Convert M4A to MP3 While Burning CD - Problem Solved!

(1/3) > >>

shoshaw:
I'm trying to convert M4A (unprotected) to MP3 files while I burn a CD.  The option is clear in the menu and I have selected it.  Everything seems to be setup properly; however, when the process is complete, the only file on the CD is the M4A.  I am using version 14.0.127 which reportedly fixed this error.  Any ideas? :(

Yaobing:
Did you set MC to play m4a files in "JRiver audio engine (using DirectShow filters)", and select a set of filters to use?

shoshaw:
Yes.  It still does not work.  Do you have a suggestion on which filter to choose?  I tried the Windows Media Source Filter.

Thanks.

Yaobing:
Windows Media Source filter definitely is not for m4a files.

You need Haali Media Splitter, from the "Source filters" list, and FFDShow Audio decoder, from the "Other filters" list.

If you can not find these filters, you should consider installing CCCP pack.

Please read this wiki article on mp4 and m4a for details.  You can find a link to CCCP there.

I too have encountered the same problem... I feel your frustration! [see previous thread http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=55008.0]

Glynor was helpful in suggesting some things that worked for him, but I was unsuccessful. I haven't updated since '106 so I guess I'll have to update and try again. Regardless, I wouldn't consider this to be a user-friendly experience as far as this issue is concerned. Too bad for the IPod/MC/Lossless users :(
 
Although it's unfortunate that you have run into the same problem, I'm glad you've posted about it. Hopefully your post will add enough attention and prompt someone to find a solution. Unfortunately, I doubt that there are not enough users in our predicament to make this wheel "squeaky" enough for JRiver to address this issue natively through MC. My solution is to use a different application in a two step process (I refuse to use itunes).

I wish us all luck, shoshaw!
