alac 24/96 converts to wav 16/96
« on: July 04, 2012, 12:52:43 pm »

Hi, new to jriver and having some trouble converting my alac library to wav.

JRiver converts my alac 24/96 files to wav 16/96 instead of 24/96.  ? ?

Moreover, I cannot seem to be able to change the encoder settings back to anything but uncompressed wav! Tried flac but it always comes back to uncompressed wav.

What am I doing wrong here? Or is it a bug?

Thanks in advance for your help

I just tested this with an iTunes encoded 24/96 ALAC file. I tried three destination formats, WAV, APE and FLAC. All three resulting files are correctly 24/96. I tested only the regular converter on a standalone MC instance - i.e. Library Server or the Handheld conversion system were not involved.

Thanks for your reply.  :)

The files were originally converted from flac to alac using XLD on a mac. Don't know if it makes any difference.

I'll try again later and report back.

Tried again last night.

Same files converted from 24/96 alac to wav.

Dbpoweramp converts OK to 24/96 wav.
JRiver keeps converting to 16/96 wav.

I'm pretty sure I have something setup wrong in JRiver, but what can it be?
