WMA lossless already on hard drive

[Unregistered]

need to convert to mp3 (taking up to much space). I can't get the music converter to find the files. I just want to convert all of this stuff and put it back into the "my music" folders. how do I do that?

Well, do you know where your files are? You can search for them. First of all you should always enable viewing file extensions if you haven't done so (http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=5361 ).

Next you can use Windows Explorer and search for files having any particular file extension (so if you're looking for wma files you'll use *.wma as a search string in the file name) and you'll find all the files and you'll know in which folders they are located.

For encoding your files there are many ways to go about it. There's the File Selector utility that affords you a browser view of sorts on your entire computer's media files and you can navigate all the folders and select what you want to encode that way.

Or in Windows Explorer you can find the folder you're interested in and highlight the files you want to encode and right-click and select Convert to and that gets you dMC where you can chose whatever you want, including the destination folder for your converted files. Avoid using the option to delete after conversion, you may end up being sorry if your conversion for any reason failed.

You can build your music collection using dAP after you've converted everything.

if your happy with WMA lossless then why not just convert to WMA CBR or VBR and probably get a lot smaller files then mp3 too.
