Well, let me get this all done first with MP3 and see if it solves the problem.
THEN, I can try another backup and see if I can do FLAC files.
Are there other lossless formats, in case FLAC does not work?
By the way, I use Any Video Converter to convert to MP3 files. Sometimes, I download from You Tube and then convert. I refuse to pay twice for music. I won't do the above on anything I have not already bought...but if I have already bought it once, I have no trouble with the above process.
I think AVC can convert to FLAC. Just checked. It can.
