Hi guys,

 

What is a good program to convert apple lossless files, and itunes 320 files to readable files by the Beosound 5?

 

Thanks!

I wonder if you might want to hold off on converting those apple lossless files. Now that the Moment supports ALAC, hopefully the BeoSound 5 will see ALAC support in the near future. We've waited years for this. It might be worth waiting just a few months longer.

Well, you can always hope, that that will happen - I am not so sure about it.

Why not just convert the files now - and enjoy having a backup of them....just in case.

Yeah, I will not wait. :D

 

Want my music now. 

 

I guess saving them to another location won't actually change the source files media type....?

 

Have my BS5 up and running now. Why didn't I get this earlier....?

Seems like this XLD can only do one file at a time?

No batch process?

Answering on my phone right now so cant check it out properly on t'net but dbpoweramp was always music file converter I trusted, although I've never needed it for a while - might be worth checking out!

Any suggestions?
