Using a computer for network file storage of media files


Recommended Posts

I ran into some problems trying to scan my music into C4, and I didn't find the answer in this forum so I thought I would share the solutions in case anyone else has the same problem.

1. The network share name cannot contain spaces. The scan fails to scan anything if the share name has a space in it even though you can connect to the share without any problem. This is particularly easy to get trapped by since the default share created by Windows is actually called "Shared Music".

2. WMA files are not supported. This is not specified in the help file, although it does refer to music files as MP3 files. If you need to convert a lot of WMA files to MP3 (I had around 9,000) I recommend Blaze Media Pro. I didn't find another tool that would retain the original file structure in the destination folder for the converted files. The others I tried would put the files into a single directory, which is unusable for bulk conversion of many albums.

Hope this helps,

Gary
