Batch convert SACD ISOs
« on: June 20, 2014, 04:39:29 pm »

I have about a hundred SACD ISOs on my harddisk, that I want to convert to 176.4kHz FLACs. I would like to keep the converted FLACs updated, as I add new SACD ISOs.
So far I have found out that I need to select all the files (over 1'000) that I want to convert. I have also found the options to skip the conversion of files that already exist in the target directory.
I am looking to make this process easier and I have two questions.
- Is there a way to create a batch job, that I can use to regularly start a conversion job of all the ISOs on my hard disk?
- Is there a way to only convert the two channel tracks of the ISOs and skip the multichannel tracks?

You can convert only the two channel tracks by selecting only those files.  Search for [Channels]==2

Sounds good, thanks Matt
Will JRiver detect if the (library) tags on an source SACD ISO have been changed and reconvert or update tags on the target? I am able to do this on Media Monkey. MM will keep a FLAC and an MP3 Library in sync. With SACD ISOs MM won't sync / convert.

I don't know whether the ISO will work.

MC handles secondary types by (optionally) building a cache when you sync to a handheld.  You can set up any drive as a handheld.
