When I was going through this forums, I found that they are many topics posted by users having problem converting Lossless Audio files to Apple Lossless.
And whenever you convert them one or the other thing is always missing or unsatisfying, like when you convert to Apple Lossless using dBpoweramp, iPod skips and many other. But by using this simple way you can easily create your Apple Lossless Library keeping all your tags intact in audio files. So here we begin: 1. Import all your library or songs to MediaMonkey, it decodes every format possible, because of Winamp plugins. 2. Make sure all the tags are present in the audio files and if they are not I mean any file is not tagged then tag it with the web option. 3. Select each and every file and then left click and select Send To->Rip/Convert->Destination. 4. On the next dialog box, choose the format to WMA Lossless, and change the destination something like any of these two: a. <destination>\<artist>\<album>\<track#> - <album> - <tittle> b. <destination>\<album>\<track#> - <album> - <tittle> By doing this mediamonkey will automatically organize your files according to Artist or Album as you choose. 5. Close mediamonkey, and open itunes, then choose the default CD Ripping format to Apple Lossless, from preferences. 6. Then Import the folder where you've converted the WMA's, and then itunes will ask you to convert those WMA's to Apple Lossless, then choose yes. 7. After/before conversion there will be an option dialog popping up, asking for deleting the WMA tracks from the library, choose yes, but I think think this option is useless as itunes doesn't support WMA tracks, it just converts them and adds them to the library. That's it, you're done, what you just need to do now is add those files to your iPod and you'll notice each and every tag is there, even Albumarts of your audio files are present(That's the Cream Of every iPod). -------------------- ~----j0hnNyplAy----~

QUOTE like when you convert to Apple Lossless using dBpoweramp, iPod skips and many other. Only if your dBpoweramp Codec is about 2 years old, this was fixed long ago...Compatibility with the current encoder is 100% (AFAIK), and we are extending the encoder to support 24 bit ALAC encoding. -------------------- Spoon http://www.dbpoweramp.com
