Question about converting wav -> mp3

[dan95]

Hi Dmtry,

I have many wav-tracks in folders and they are all in a music library, .rbdata-files are in a subfolder.

Is there a way to convert this tracks quick within RB so that the files in folders are changed to the new mp3-format and they also replace the wav-ones in the library? And also that the .rbdata-files with all start/mixpoints stay the same as in previous in the wav-format?

(Background: I want to archive more storage space on my vserver).

Thx
Dan

Another general question: When I delete a music-file from the disk (via library), the .rbdata to the file doesn't disappear - must I delete all "useless" rbdatas then manually? :/

When you encode file from within RadioBOSS (right-click selected tracks in the playlist, Tools->Convert file) it will also transfer the additional information automatically.

You can run Cleanup Metadata Files command, from the Tools menu in Music Library, it will remove unnecessary .rbdata files.

And the original wav files I have to delete manually?

Yes, Convert operation only creates a new file, the original file remains intact.
