    Where is the overwrite function hiding in Batch Convert?

    I'm a newbie just starting out.

    If I use Batch Convert and want to retain the existing music file structure and have the converted music file replace the source one, how do I do this? I thought there might be an 'overwrite source' type option but I can't find it. All I can see is the Output Location options of 'Original Folder', 'Folder' and 'Dynamic'.

    Thanks.

    If you set output location to 'original folder' that will overwrite the source (if say converting from FLAC >> FLAC).

      I actually was using that option, but was converting unlike files (WMA to MP3) and I ended up with both file sets in the folders, when I really only want to end up with MP3 files. Risky I suppose to have the original files discarded, but I do have other backups.
      Thanks.

        Include the DSP effect 'Delete Source file'
