Hi.

I wanted to ask you if you found some app that will allow you to convert MP3 to AAC and copy it DIRECTLY to the phone (a lá Disc2Phone).

I've tried DBPowerAmp, but I need something that will arrange the "Artist/Album" structure the w800 need for files.

Thanks in advance.

does the new disc2phone convert them to aac? I thought it just handles them now ie recognises and transfers

@max:

I download (the week before) the new version of Disc2Phone. I didn't notice any changes; plus, the files get copied to a NEW folder in the phone called "Music"; instead of the MP3 folder...

Will ITunes convert, copy and arrange the files in the "MP3//" st4ucture? Cause that's all I care about... I know how to convert MP3 to any format; that is not the problem!

itunes has the organise music folders option - which creates \album\artistname\songname.m4a in the itunes music folder. You then can just drag and drop the contents into the mp3 folder.

btw, my understanding (but I haven't tested) is that the w800 would read the music folder as well as the mp3 folder. I am just assuming this, since disc2phone has been modified to use \music, then surely W800 mediaplayer will be able to read it. It was mentioned in a thread that the newest version of the disc2phone supports aac (presumably can rip aac) did you find that to be true?

Yes... I knew that the Music folder was also read by the phone but, as obssesive compulsive as I am, you know that when you format the card via the phone, the MP3 folder is created... well, that just poses as an "incongruence" in my mind, cause the phone is 'prepared' for the MP3 folder, not the Music one...

Anyway, I tried the iTunes but... its a bloated piece of sh*t! 33 MB + the addon for the W800 handling? No way! I'd rather go with the DbPowerAmp and some nice add on / plug in /script to make it create the folders in the right structure (if DBPower... supported them

)

Any other software?
