So I got this Onkyo portable player and I though I would load a bunch of music onto 200GB micro SD cards in FLAC format. I downloaded Jriver and started ripping CDs. I set the output type to FLAC and ripped and when I looked when it was done the file is labeled as an ape file. What gives? Either......
1. How do I make JRiver save the file as a FLAC file or,
2. Convert the ape file to a FLAC file format. Why should I have to do this? It seems overly involved to rip to one format only to have to convert to another.
How do I make JRiver rip to FLAC. I did Optons>FLAC___ and it rips to ape. What gives? Will an ape file automatically play as a FLAC file? I see they are both lossless compression formats.
Also I tried to rip a two CD symphony. The first CD ripped ok______to ape of course, but the second CD just won't rip. It is a continuation of the first CD with the same work/artist name. Does JRiver think it has already ripped and is all done?
I tried googling questions but all I get is laborious method of converting ape to FLAC.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
