Tracks that aren't recognised

[mantis1955]

Let me say that I got my B2 in February and haven't been on the forum since March, delighted with it.

A couple of issues that arose the other day:

1) I had an album on the WebUI where the tracks never played, just ran through the titles (obviously searching for them) then started playing the next album. It took me a while to discover that I had imported them by USB as Apple AAC files and I quickly fixed that using MP3 (I didn't have the CD so this was the best I could do). I only have a few dozen tracks imported by USB so there won't be many more, if any.

I searched through the FAQs but can't find anything listing acceptable file formats, but maybe this exists and I'm just being thick...

2) I found another album that I imported from the CD. The tracks are showing up but I can't play them, with the UI or the remote. This is slightly different from the first problem in that nothing at all happens. I haven't got round to retrieving the CD from the 400+ pile upstairs but probably will, unless anybody has a quick fix. With over 400 albums imported I realise there may be a few more but this is my first negative experience. Glad I never let the missus throw the discs out.

I found this on the Brennan website Q&A - Can B2 do this?   "Does B2 play ALAC?  Sorry just WAV,FLAC,MP3 and AAC right now."

Please run the Scan Disk command (on the Settings menu).

Thanks Daniel. It was Ian Hunter's "The Artful Dodger". Disc scan threw up "Album 11" while the Dodger album appeared as "empty" so I just had to change the name.

Hi John,

The B2 will play WAV, FLAC, MP3 and M4A/ALAC (Apple) files.

Paul,

The Brennan website seems to be saying No to ALAC.  If that's wrong, why not change it?

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for pointing that out. It needs updating, I'll get it sorted.
