Reporter indicating 3500 “other” files
« on: March 10, 2014, 07:48:26 pm »
Hi all.
Reporter says I have over 3500 files identified as “other”.
Is there any way I can identify what and where they are located so I can attempt to fix them?
FYI I am importing from 3 folders Mp3, Flac, Hi-Rez and all contain only audio files.
thanks

These are probably file types that are not yet supported on the Mac.  Even though MC Mac doesn't yet properly handle image, video, or data files, it still imports these files, but you don't see them by default.

Thanks.
I suspect that the “others” may be .cue sheets?
Is there a way to identify one or all of them to check and possibly modify the file if they are indeed music? I used to use Elyric and it did show roughly 3000 more music files imported compared to MC.

Create a Smartlist, and press the Import/Export button.  Add the line:

   ~d=a

and OK your way out.  Add a Media Type column, and sort by Media Type.
