Hi,
I'm trying out the trial version of MC17. I'm from a foobar2000 background, and I've been using Foobar2000 for 9 years now.
I pretty much have foobar2000 exactly the way I want it to work on a dedicated Music Server, with a Fullscreen HTPC Display to the TV and controlling it through iTunes Remote.
I wanted to try out MC17 because it offers a lot of music options along with video playback, but I haven't been able to get too far because I can't get the Library to add and not add certain type of files.
First issue is with .dff files.
For certain Albums, I'd have the stereo .dff in one folder, and I'd have a multichannel .dff in another folder. The problem is that is that the MC17 Library will only add the stereo files. It'lll completely skip the multichannel tracks.
The second issue, I store both lossless and lossy of the same albums on my Server. It used to be all mp3, but I've switched to flac and m4a storage a few years ago. The Lossless album would be in one folder at ".flac", and I'd have the lossy files kept with my old mp3 folders with a ".flac.m4a" extension. If I don't have the lossless version, the extension would be simply just ".m4a"
So the .mp3, .m4a, and .flac.m4a would all reside in the Lossy folder, and the .flac, and .dff would be in the Lossless folder.
I'm trying to configure the Library to skip all ".flac.m4a" files. I can't seem to get the Library to do that. I see an option to ignore special file types, like folder.jpg, but I can't seem to find anywhere that'll let you customize that list. So at this point, it's either add all or have no .m4a files in the library.
Also, I'd like to keep this all in one library instead of splitting lossy into one library and lossless into another.
thanks, any help would be appreciated.
