iPod question...

Postby Slater » Tue Jul 18, 2006 11:13 am

iTunes doesn't want to upload .mpc (like .mp3, only better) files through to my iPod. Is there any way I can fix this? like, is there a folder I can put in_mpc.dll into?

I think you'll have to change the file type. Most media programs only work with certain filetypes. Also, you might try searching Apple's website for help.

Yeah, I don't think iTunes supports that file extension. The ones I know it supports are mp3, m4a, and wav. If you convert to any of those, you should be good to go ^^

The advice here is correct. It would take a lot of extra work to write a pre-processor, and apple's partners might be upset if their accessories stopped working right. You'll need to convert it to one of the appropriate file formats.

Remember, your computer might be fast enought to decode/decompress mpc, but the tiny little processor in your iPod wasn't really meant to.
