Title: Exporting Music Files for Playback On Other Devices
Post by: chcmuzza on August 29, 2018, 06:45:34 pm

Hi

I've been auditioning audio equipment at dealers and want to take my music with me on a memory stick. I've 'drag and dropped' files from MC24 onto the stick and they land with a file type of Media Center. This format wasn't readable by a high end T+A streamer.

Is there any way I can simply export the audio files as APE or other native format shown in the MC24 window (some DSF and FLAC)?

Thanks!

There isn't a filetype of Mediacenter. If you drag flac files onto the stick they will be flac files.

Thanks folks. That's not my experience but I bet I'm doing something wrong. I'll have another go and report back. Cheers

my wild guess ... you associated media files with MC (ie Windows use MC by default when you double click files media files) ... your window explorer hides file extensions ... so you see media files on your memory stick with MC icons next to them

further guess ... you copied files that T+A does not support (most likely DSD, DSF or APE ... their streamers doesnt seem to support these file formats) ... so T+A refuse to play them

just my wild guess :)

ya I thought about mentioning that but that's windows 101 and if they don't know that I'm not the one that can explain it to someone without yelling. nor am I willing to get into a 25 page spiel for something people should already know. but hey that's just the ornery cantankerous thing that happens when you get old like me. Right!  ;D
