Also title of thread should say 'convert FLAC' not 'connect FLAC'. I have edited it but the edit is not showing yet.

Re: Help needed to convert FLAC library to Apple Lossless

Hi mville

The issue shows up in Apple Music when selecting music from my music library (drawn from iCloud and made up from my mp3 music file stored on my synology NAS (these were converted for this purpose from my FLAC files).

When converting i selected folders and sub folders

I realise it has been discussed and have done a few web searches myself. I can resolve the problem but only on an album by album basis, which would take me weeks! I did a test and converted some files from FLAC to lossless and they now show up fine in Apple music. I am therefore trying to create a new Apple lossless library for Apple iCloud to use as my music.

Hope this helps?

Regards

Paul

Re: Help needed to convert FLAC library to Apple Lossless

I am looking to batch convert my large FLAC library to Apple lossless to allow me to play on the go via all my istuff. I did batch convert to MP3 a few years ago (with great help from garym back in 2013). I'm having a similar problem as all my attempts at converting FLAC to lossless music is showing as lists of songs but not contained within albums.

music is showing as lists of songs. Where (in which software) exactly, is this showing?

I have moved over to a Mac since my 2013 issues and have the latest versions of batch converter but am at a loss where to start in order to maintain the folder structures when converting?

When converting, what have you selected/set in the Output To drop-down box?

Also reason I am doing this is that many of my albums when played via iPhone or iPad (using iCloud) don't show track names but list them as genres and I think this is down to using my original converted mp3 file as the source library for my apple music.

This (Apple) issue has been discussed (and resolved) a couple of times recently in these forums. Have a quick search/look for the answers.

Hi

Been using dbpoweramp for many years, mainly for ripping CDs to FLAC. I am looking to batch convert my large FLAC library to Apple lossless to allow me to play on the go via all my istuff.

I'm having a similar problem as all my attempts at converting FLAC to lossless music is showing as lists of songs but not contained within albums.

If garym is looking at this you helped with my original issues in a thread called Batch Converting dated 07/29/13. I have relooked at your instructions but don't know how to apply these points to latest version of batch converter. Any help appreciated.

Cheers
