    Auto delete original lossless file after conversion

    I am converting my ALAC to Flac. But I notice that it does not delete the original file after conversion. Since this is a lossless conversion, is there a way I can tell Batch convertor to delete the original file after successful conversion?

    Use DSP effect 'Delete source file'

      I do not see this option when I run batch converter. Where exactly is it located?

          After you select "convert," a second screen pops up with the particulars of your conversion (e.g. - use LAME to convert FLAC to MP3). There is an area on tha&*355; screen that lists the DSP effects. Click on "add effect," and select "Delete source file." Boom! Bob's your Uncle!

          You may want to look around while you're in that area to see if there's anything else you want to add. There are a lot of options...
