How to convert a mixed Flac and MP3 library to all MP3 (without reencoding MP3s)

[mswlogo]

I'd like to build a library of MP3's for my car. I'm limited to 32GB SD car.

I have a bunch of MP3's that are around 192K as my only copy mixed in with mostly FLACs.

When I build the new library I don't want it to decode and reencode the MP3's (so as to not degrade MP3's further), I want to just copy those and only reduce the FLACs.

Is there way to do this?

You could do a search for the mp3 files and copy them with a copy/paste.

Set Batch Converter to filter mp3 files.

Sure would be nice to have an option on the "Filter" to just copy them as is.

Also if I did decide to restructure the folders (And I may for the car) this won't work so easy.

I tried this for grins and it flattens it (loses all folder structure).

I'll have to use RoboCopy for this part.

Seems like a common thing folks would want to do and many folks may not realize decoding and reencoding MP3's degrades them.
