![]() Your device will act as the cache, but they are usually much slower than local disk. I use my virtual HH as that cache, to later copy those converted files to the device as quickly as possible (the conversion is already done). Conversion can take long time for large libraries, and this is the reason a cache is useful. I can't recall if the Conversion Cache is included in the MC library - I think it is, and so you might want to disable it so that converted files are not included in the library. Just specify that the device only supports mp3 (see the screenshot at the link above). You want mp3 always, so you can use 2 if all you have are non-mp3's, or 3 if you have some mp3s you want transfer along with your converted FLACs. convert only when necessary, or when bitrates are "high" and transfer convert only when necessary and transferĤ. convert always to a given format and transferģ. Quote from: MrC on October 06, 2013, 11:25:34 pm Ah, right, THOSE four options.ġ. But I don't want to go ahead and do that if every file will end up being duplicated in MC.Īnd I was able to solve the speaker issue by enabling my Audioengine D1 in the options menu in MC19 - somehow it was not enabled. I could choose "All Audio" which is what I want to do - have everything in my library converted to mp3 and deposited on my phone. ![]() ![]() I do not have any playlists or smartlists set up. Once you have it set, choose Sync in the Action Window. You can select your own playlists, or you can select categories like "All Audio". Playlist Sync - Use MC's options for Handhelds (aka Portables) to set your choices. Repeat until you've got everything queued, then press the Sync button.Ģ. Then select the files you want, and drag them to the Action Window. Drag and drop - Just open "Sync to Handheld" or "Sync to Portable" in the Action Window (lower left). Info from JRiver: There are two different ways you can sync.ġ. I've disabled conversion cache as you suggested. I don't want them on my computer taking up space and I don't want any duplicate files that I need to remove or whatever. I only want those converted files on my phone. In terms of duplicate files, I was using HH Sync and unlike using Convert Format, there is no option to choose not to include the converted files in the MC library under HH Sync options. Thanks for your comments MrC! The 4 modes I was talking about are listed under mode in HH Sync: Original, Specified output format, Specified output format only when necessary and Specified output format only when necessary (inc.high bit rates). Quote from: MrC on October 06, 2013, 09:56:13 pm There are two ways to convert: Again, experience will prove to be the best teacher.Īs for your speakers, check the settings under Player > Playback Options. It really all depends on what you do routinely. You don't have to include these, but if you want to, you can just configure your views to exclude them, or separate them in the view for easy selection. The duplicate files you see are probably because you used Convert Format and included the results in the Library. space, the standard trade-off with lossy encoding. the MP3 encoder are four typical levels of quality vs. I disable it, as I already create a set converted files via HH sync.Įach encoder has different profiles. The cache location / settings are defined in Tools > Options > File Locations > Conversion Cache. Which one you use depends on your needs, but the best way to learn is to experiment with what works.īoth of these mechanism will use a conversion cache it MC is configured to use it (it is by default). It retains a list of already transferred files so future syncs are more efficient. This profile can include conversion, and the transfer to can to either a HH device or a folder. Handheld Sync uses one or more playlists/smartlists to control which files are transferred, and the transfer is based on the settings configured in the HH profile. It includes options to include the converted files into the library. Use it when you want to force conversion of files. Convert Format is a manual conversion tool.
