Bit puzzled.

Been encoding .WAV to FLAC all afternoon. Whilst the individual folder size shrinks OK,   the folder where I keep all my music is increasing in size so this doesnt make sense.

Is MC21 keeping the .WAV file as well as creating a .FLAC one

My setting show that I am replacing the .WAV with a .FLAC….”replace original file on disk and in library”


and “convert to same folder as original files”


all looks good but as I say the main folder containing individual folders is gettin bigger and bigger!

Any help appreciated please.

(Windows 10 if that makes any difference)

Go to Tools > Options, then the File Location section and under Conversion Cache set it to None (do not create cache).

Thanks, will that remove any
 files and capacity or just apply to new coversions going forward?

Added nearly 50 GB! Completely flummaxed, cant see whats doing this.

It must be creating a back up copy somehwere?

You might try the %APPDATA%\J River\Media Center 21\Temp\ folder and see if it's there.

Otherwise, I'm not sure. I've long since disabled that feature and can't remember the default setting (perhaps it's next to file?).

Check what the temp folder is set to in the encoding settings.

If you're not removing the wav files as you encode, you could expect it to grow.  Try a search for the wav files.
