I'm using Foobar RC with iTunesEncode to copy FLAC files to iTunes for iPod use. One of the things iTunesEncode can do is not specify an output file - which results in the file being copied to the iTunes library, but nowhere else.

This is kind of handy, as it means the file is in the iTunes library immediately after converting, and there are no stray files floating around.

However using the Foobar RC Convertor, you seem to have to specify an ouput file in the encoder parameters. Using a command line without the %d results in an error when running the Convertor.

So using the valid iTunesEncode command line: iTunesEncode.exe -e "AAC Encoder" -a "%artist%" -l "%album%" -t "%title%" -g "%genre%" -y %date% -n %tracknumber%-i %s

Results in the following error:


Using the same command line, but with -o %d appended, works. However this means there is one copy of the file in iTunes, and one in the output directory specified in Foobar.

Does anyone have a method of allowing Foobar to not specify an output file? The best I can come up with would be running a .bat file after encoding that deletes the copy of the file that Foobar creates.

Thanks.

I was searching for this info too. I guess its not possible?
