WMA skipping? - forcing AAC transcode

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.23.4.4712
Player Version#:

I’ve got a problem with playing certain WMA files. I just put a bunch of my CD’s onto my server. I ripped the CD’s to WMA lossless format (WMA). When I play some of the music - it works fine - but some skips horribly, and unable to listen. I looked at the dashboard - and for some reason the music CD it is playing directly, but the Audio Book - Plex is trying to AAC-transcode. I don’t know why.

The only difference I can think - I post processed the Audio book with MP3tag to change titles etc.

WMA lossless is proprietary. I recommend you to not use its lossy or losslessly variations at all.
If you want lossless, FLAC is universally supported.

Ok -got it. Thanks.

I’ll try converting these WMA files to Flac. Any recommendations on a good converter?

What I don’t understand - how come some files play flawlessly, and some do not?

I’d start with foobar2000.

Sorry, I don’t know.
