I have a handheld (Samsung YP-T6X) that cannot play m4a files. I have been trying to get MC to automatically convert m4a files to mp3 before uploading to my handheld but I have not been successful. Instead, MC just uploads the m4a file as-is without converting it.
I have attempted to configure the handheld options via the associated dialog in Tools -> Options -> Handheld. I can't seem to upload a picture here, so, I'll have to quote the relevent settings manually (sorry):
Conversion -> Audio -> Mode: Convert Unsupported Formats
Conversion -> Audio -> Encoder: MP3
Files & Paths -> Supported Types: *
I think I have to change the "Supported Types" field to list the formats (mp3, wav etc) that are supported by my device. I have tried replacing "*" and entering wav and mp3, but, I get an error when I try and transfer the m4a file (sorry, MC just says "Error", it doesn't tell me what went wrong or I'd quote it here).
I have looked in the following help pages that the Help button in MC points to:
http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/Transfer_Files_to_your_Handheld/Portable_Devicehttp://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/Handheld_Advanced_OptionsHowever, neither page talks about the "Supported Types" field.
Can anyone indicate how to set this field, or, what it is that I may be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
