Hello,

Is there a way that I can keep FLAC and MP3 files seperate in Media Monkey. There reason I would like to do this is so that I can listen to the FLAC files on my Windows Machine and listen to MP3's on my Sony Walkman.

Thanks

I just don't add my FLAC files to the MM database. You can still access them via 'My Computer' in MM.

Don't make mp3s; only keep flacs in the library. When you plug your Sony in, it can automatically convert to mp3 for you. This saves you hassle and space.

Here's how:
Tools > Options > Portable/Audio Devices
Select your device (Sony will show up) and click Configure
Auto Conversion tab > "Add auto conversion rule"
Fill in the blanks: “format on PC”, “bit rate”, “format on device” >settings

In my case it's "flac", "any" "ogg", settings=q7
You would probably use "flac", "any", "mp3", settings=(pick a bitrate)

I do not have the paid version, I am using the free version.

Sorry, didn't realize that was a paid feature.

You can always go to "My Computer" and make a folder called flac and one called mp3 and store your files accordingly.

Then again, it's only the cost of a cd for the full version, and you get better ripping and awesome playlist functions among other things.

I figured it out and it is quite easy. If I want to play FLAC files I simply type in the search box *flac and for mp3's *mp3 This is a simple solution and allows you to keep both mp3's as well as flac files in the same folder.

Is it possible to make intelligent playlists in the free version, if so, that could solve your problems.

That I do not know, I have not played around with the playlist features(s). I think that is something else I need to play with and find out.
