How to stop Banshee from converting my music to mp3?

  • 772

When I am synchronizing my music with Banshee, it stars converting my music into mp3.

How can I stop Banshee to convert my music and make it just copying it?

My player can play nearly every music format, so converting it takes a lot of time and resources.

    Aah, I found a solution.

    Create a file named .is_audio_player and put it in the root of your Music-Player. (the . is important!)

    Then open this file (it is eventually hidden, go to the menu and allow to see hidden files) and write the following into the file:

    output_formats=audio/ogg,audio/mp3,audio/m4a

    This is the the solution. Here you can define, which formats you not want to have converted. For example if you want to have m4b not converted, add ,audio/m4b.
