Import Archive library To Portable MP3/AAC format

[flebber]

Recently I needed to import my lossy wavpack collection of CD rips from my external hard drive to an Mp3 format library on my laptop. As I had over 20GB of music and updating all the time I needed this automatically done. Thanks to MusicBee its relatively easy.

These instructions were done on a Windows7 system however vista and XP probably should work to(but untested).

1. we need to create a Virtual device. So using DOS SUBST (reference here http://www.computerhope.com/substhlp.htm)

Open a command prompt. Start and type cmd into the search programs and files.

Next change to the directory you want to make your device.
C:\Users\renshaw family>cd C:\Users\renshaw family\Music\MusicMp3

Then Create the virtual.
C:\Users\renshaw family\Music\MusicMp3>SUBST H: .

test it should work and show the new drive
C:\Users\renshaw family\Music\MusicMp3>cd H:
H:\

Computers(in MusicBee)
Right Click and Manage Folders -> set H: as Virtual Device.

H Now Shows in Devices

Right Click H: and then Device Settings

Check Box on the fly conversion and set it to whatever format you want.

second Tab auto Sync Settings select Sync whenever device connected.
Then select the folder you want to Sync
Then OK and Save.

Then select Synchronise.

Hope this works for you.
