FLAC to ALAC problem (skipping tracks)

[John Doh]

I'm converting my FLAC music files to Apple Lossless (ALAC) so I can put the files on my iPOD. The files convert fine. The sound quality is fine. They transfer to the iPOD fine. The problem comes when I am playing the music on my iPOD. If I play an album, it will skip everyother song. (ex: play track 1, then skip to track 3, then to 5, etc.)

The albums play fine in iTunes (no track skipping). It's just on my ipod. Any help?

This is a known problem. I think one fix is to run the "m4a optimize" utility codec on the files after converting to ALAC, which is in the "m4a utilities" codec on the m4a codec page.

Thank you sir. I will try that and report back.
