For reasons I won't bore people with I maintain a separate library of wholely 16bitdepth versions of my main library, which is made up of mostly 16bit flac files but with an increasing number of Hi Res 24 bit 9600 Khz files. I don't want to convert from FLAC to anything else, just the bit rate and depth.
MR17 or maybe even an earlier version introduced support for portables with file conversion thrown in. Very neatly it support conversion of unsupported formats and high bit rates. Except the conversion of the high bit rates doesn't seem to work. If working it would allow the upload to the 16 bit library of 16bit flac files without conversion, but convert 24bit and 9600, 88, 176 or even 192 to 44kHz.
My tests show
Conversion to MP3 works fine, but the max sample rate is 320, hardly even CD quality.
Conversion to wav converts the bit depth, but not the bit rate.
Conversion to APR and OGG converts the format but not bit rate or depth.
Anyone else experenced this or can offer any advise?
