Some time back I read something by the creator of the dbPowerAmp stuff that his personal choice for storing music in file format was monkey's audio and ape format. Not the smallest files, but the best sound, was his assessment.
So I took his cue and since then have converted MANY a cd and stored it on my hard drive in *.ape. So now, I even have a directory structure that looks like, for instance c:\Classical\Mozart\Sonatas\Uchida\CD1\ and then under there all the individual files. Everything is great when I am actually at my computer listening.
But now, I want to put all my stuff on an ipod or something portable. I dont think they can use *.ape format. Is there some way to batch convert or script a conversion routine to go thorugh my Classical directory (or folder, they call it now) and while retaining the same dir structure and file names, create new files in mp3 format ? Or would I have to go in by hand and do all the conversion ?
Thanks for any info !
