Title: Convert to Flac?
Post by: Captor on March 30, 2015, 08:12:46 am

Hi
I have imported wav files and would like to convert them to Flac. How can I do that?
When I am ripping from a CD it will be flac so that settings is OK. But I do not know how to convert to flac when import music files such as wav.
Do I have to do the conversion in Foobar before importing to MC or can I do that in JRiver as well? Eiter after or during importing?

Thanks in advance.

sure you can do that with JRiver ... from main menu Tools=>Advanced Tools=>Convert format.  Select the files first of course

If you want to do this before importing,  use the internal "explorer" under Drives and Devices in the Tree on the left of your screen (have to uncheck to view files not imported to library).

Make sure you configure the options first :) (you could set the path for one that is already watched in your auto-import setting too)

Alternatively, right click on selected album(s), select Library Tools then Convert Format.

Hi
Thank you very much both of you. It worked very well. I only used the first suggestion and that worked just fine. Good to know that I can do that before importing as well.
Thanks!
