How can I batch convert and keep folder structure?
I have a folder that has the following structure: C:/Music/*artist*/*album*/
All of those folders contain FLAC files which I want to convert for my MP3 player.
Is there a way to convert everything so I have a folder created during conversion such as: C:/Converted Music/*artist*/*album*/???
Thanks :D
Re: How can I batch convert and keep folder structure?
Set output folder as C:\Converted Music
and set dynamic naming to: [origpath]\[origfilename]

Reference is required to do Dynamic conversions.

Reference? I'm just trying to grab the first 20 seconds of a mp3 and save that as an mp3...
Do I need to do some sort of upgrade?
Thanks,
Chris

(I tried this path you describe above and it put all the songs from two different albums from one artist altogether under one artist folder, not broken up into two different album folders.)
When I converted over WAV files to AIFF using this path code that I found on your help section:
[artist]\[album]\[artist] - [title]
It seems to work more or less fine (although I noticed in one case for the album WAVE by Jobim that it put it under the composer's name as a new artist folder, not under Jobim).
My question:
is there anyway to get the converter to copy over and put into the album folder the INFORMATION LOG, so I keep a record of it. I understand it will report the original rip but I would like to keep that info together with the music.
thanks

Folder.jpg Preserve DSP effect will do that, it has an option to copy other files as well.

A problem came up with my wav to aiff batch conversion. Most of the albums came out OK, completely, but a few came out with tracks in slightly scrambled order
within the album track list...and, more importantly, a few albums were missing, seeming randomly, one or two or more tracks that turned up under "various artists". I am pretty sure neither of these problems arise with direct AIFF rips, so I am wondering if there is another code field I should use in the batch conversion to rectify this?....any ideas?
Re: How can I batch convert and keep folder structure?
No idea what it means but I discovered by chance that if I click on a track in the mystery various artists album (in itunes), and then click "Get Info", when I close the box the track disapears from various artists and goes to the correct album....I know this isn't an itunes support site, but I guess I wonder if any of this relates to some coding issue from my wav to aiff conversion.

You would have to see what metadata was written for that aiff file before iTunes, do by right click on it >> Edit ID Tags

Hi,
I am trying to convert FLACs from my NAS drive to a USB stick as MP3. I have used the [origpath]\[origfilename] but it just comes up with errors.
Re: How can I batch convert and keep folder structure?
What errors are shown?
If you have R16 and want to preserve the path, from Music Converter main page, in the naming selection select:
Preserve Source Path
then choose the USB drive.

Hi there,
I have dBpoweramp Reference R15.7.
A typical source path for the FLAC files is network/lacie-2big-nas/public/Music/Beatles 24 bit/Abbey Road
and I want to put the MP3 files on the USP stick called FIONA
Cheers,
Simon
