Hello all...
Very large music collection that contains FLAC and MP3 in varying quality. I would like to shoehorn most of it onto a 160GB ipod.
I have used the music converter in the past to transcode FLAC to MP3 and the file filtering option worked just fine.
However, I would like to transcode the ENTIRE collection (both MP3 and FLAC) to a lower LAME VBR preset. The problem being that I want to SKIP files that are ALREADY lower bitrate or quality. There is simply no reason to reencode them again and lose more quality AND get a larger file.
My albums are all folder based and ALL tagged with bitrate.
Any ideas (other than sorting the folders (maybe 2,500) by hand and only converting those that need converted? I would love to point the converter at the directory and tell it to convert ALL files that are FLAC -AND- ALL MP3 files with a bitrate of grater than XXXk or xxxVBR .
