Full disclosure: This is my first post and I'm not a very tech aware person. I looked and couldn't find this topic in the forum but if this has been answered just point me in the right direction.
I was directed to KODI (XBMC) from Olive Audio. Olive made a product called the 04HD which is essentially a music server. One by one I ripped my CDs into the Olive as .flac files as recommended by the manufacturer. It works great and sounds terrific. They've discontinued the 04HD and are now producing the Olive One. To transfer my music collection from my Olive 04HD to the Olive One they recommend using XBMC version 12.3 but they warned that it might not bring the .flac (metadata
) over. I did as instructed and the files transferred over but without .flac so they won't transfer to my Olive One. I manually added .flac to all the songs on a few CDs and they transferred to the Olive One fine.
Is there a way to transfer my music and keep the .flac? Might I have missed a step?
I've seen web based software that will add metadata back. Is there a simple one that anyone can recommend? (I have more than 1,000 CDs in my collection so doing it manually would be debilitating.
Finally, am I even on the right forum? I downloaded XBMC through KODI.
Thanks in advance.
