Destination directory structure and file name format If converting FLAC or WAV files to MP3s, it may be more efficient to export to a temporary directory on your desktop first, and then copy the files to the target device afterwards, because the USB connection to these devices can be slow. This can be a temporary directory on you desktop (for example), or a USB stick etc. Subdirectories in this directory may be created depending on the 'Destination directory structure and file name format' setting.Įnter the destination drive and directory name, or use the '+' browse button to choose the destination. This is the folder to which the files will be exported.

Tip: For making backup copies of your music files, you should use the Backup Music Files feature, which is faster and will only backup the new or changed music files. Or you can create a Playlist file (.m3u) which can be opened by your mobile device. There's an option to preserve the play order of your playlist tracks by prefixing them with an incrementing number, see 'Preserving the play order' below. It can also update the tags and the album art image in the new MP3 files.Įxport operations can take a long time, but you can press the Stop Export button to prematurely abort, if you're desperate to get down the pub before closing time. This will copy selected tracks from the Tracks or Playlist views to another drive or directory, and optionally converts large uncompressed FLAC, WAV and WavPack files to the much smaller MP3 format, for use on your phone, tablet, in your car, on your portable MP3 player, or on your shiny new MattPod (coming soon).
