    New User - please help me

    Hello, I'm using the batch converter and could really do with a bit of help setting it up to do what I want. I have a about 9000 tracks on a nas drive, mostly in Apple lossless, a few hundred mp3s and I want to convert to flac. They are to be used by my sonos network. I've started the batch off once so far using the default settings and these are my questions so far...

    AC\DC appears as AC in all the tags, how do I change that?
    Can I set the converter to only convert the Apple lossless files and leave the mp3s?
    The folder structure is missing the album level, i.e. all songs go straight under the artist, can I change that so that it mirrors the itunes style?
    On my first attempt at converting, the process stopped at some point about 10% of the way through. There were no errors on the screen. Is there a log I can view?
    Can I add album art to all the albums as I convert them? itunes has been pathetic at this.

    Many thanks in advance,

    James

    Use batch converter and set to filter mp3 with the filter option.

    If a mp3 is tagged as ac/dc the / is a seperator between multi artists

    When converting you can use dynamic naming, such as

    [artist]\[album]\[origfilename]

    Is converting is stopping, try disabling your security software.

    Album art cannot be added when converting if it is not present in the source file.
