Well, not that I want you to go back to iTunes, but iTunes could read mp3, aac, and (lossless) ALAC.

MP3, which was the format that iTunes had to use What method/trick do you use to fix this? In PlexAmp, after some tests, I have not been able to get a soundtrack to show me as a whole in the discography, it is divided according to its artists. What I am not clear about is the issue of the album covers, I don't know if the album cover can be embedded into FLAC as in MP3 (I want to assume that yes), and if this will cause a compatibility problem with other players beyond PlexAmp.Īnother issue is that, in iTunes, with soundtracks or compilations by various artists, there is an option to mark the disc as a compilation, and this means that iTunes does not divide its content into different tracks depending on the author. I think MP3TAG is the recommended application, it's far from the iTunes interface, but I think I'll end up getting used to it. Since I have never dealt with FLAC, I don't know how to edit them in order to have them well cataloged in PlexAmp. Honestly so happy about every penny spent on my recent Plex Pass Lifetime :)Īs I commented in my other thread, I was generating FLAC as a backup copy of my CDs and in order to facilitate their conversion to MP3, which was the format that iTunes had to use, and which became normal over time, until my recent migration to PlexAmp.

I still can't believe how wonderful PlexAmp is for all this, the possibilities it offers me. It's just a goodbye to iTunes being my system for syncing/streaming my music to the iPhone. However, this would not be a goodbye to MP3, since a lot of music outside of the commercial circuit is not broadcast in FLAC. This is why I still consider using MP3 as a mobile listening format, because in iTunes it is impossible to catalog FLAC, and I don't know if there is a similar app on Windows that works just as well for this task. I must say that, after so many years using iTunes as the system to sync my music between the Mac (now PC) and Apple devices (first iPod and now iPhone), I got too used to its routine of ordering songs, detailing their content and the rest.
