When
you have your Batch List filled with
the files you want to convert, next step is to configure conversion
process. There
are two groups of
controls on Protected Music Converter main window which can be used
to help you with this task. Output format and Output
file
control groups, you can see them on following screensot:
Output format
Here you can set/check output format for items currently selected
in Batch List
- Format
This dropdown menu contains list of available output
formats. It shows current output format for selected item(s) in Batch
List (it is blank in case if selected items have different
output format), by changing it you can set new output format for
selection.
- Profile
This
dropdown menu contains list of profiles available for currently selected
output format. There is a preset list of profiles for each format,
but if you want to use another set of options for specific format,
you can create custom profile by
pressing Custom profile... button.
You can also delete or edit previously created profile by selecting
it and pressing Delete profile or Edit
profile buttons correspondingly.
Output file
Here you can set/check output file name generation options
for items currently selected in Batch List.
Path
This edit control shows you current
output folder for selected item(s) in Batch List(it
is blank in case if selected items have different output folder), by
changing
it you can set
new output folder for selection. In case if only one item selected you
can set full name for output file with file name and extension. You can
also set relative path here i.e. if you set this parameter to 'My_Folder'
(quotes are not included) it will create folder with name My_Folder in
the home folder of source file and place output file there.
This control also supports set of templates for
output file path generation. In path string you can use template items
like <Title>,
<AlbumTitle>, <Aritst>, <Genre>, <Year>,
<TrackNumber>. All this information will be extracted
from tag of original file. If you want to specify template for filename(
not path to it), you have to use <.ext> template at the end of template string,
for example:
you set a template like "C:Converted Music<Artist><AlbumTitle><TrackNumber>
- <Title>.<ext>"
As a result, after conversion process finishes, you will get file
with path and name like:
"C:Converted MusicElvis PresleyElvis Is Back! 2-It's Now Or Never.mp3
If you want to keep folder structure during conversion process,
you may use items like <Source Folder>, <Folder Lev1>, <Folder
Lev2> etc. <Source Folder> will be replaced
by full path of original file , <Folder Lev1> by the
subfolder of original file, <Folder Lev2>by the subfolder's name
of the second level and etc.
If file exists
This dropdown menu contains list of possible actions performed by
Protected Music Converter when output file for conversion is already
exists. It
can create unique filename in same folder and write down output file
with this name, another options are overwrite existing file with
new one
or cancel conversion.
Simultaneously running tasks
You can set here maximum number of simultaneously converted files.
More tasks converted at same time allows you to convert your files
faster in general, but it highly depends on your computer perfomace
rate. Increase this value for more powerful computers for max speed
and decrease for slower computers.
