Convert music for this device

"Convert music for this device" controls if files should be transcoded (converted) to the proper format during a sync. Each device type has an adapter profile created for it by doubleTwist. Files that are designated by the profile as not compatible (such as Apple Lossless or Windows Media Audio) can be converted to a compatible format (such as 128Kbps AAC .m4a).

By default, this option is disabled for each device so files will be copied to your device as-is. This means that incompatible files might be copied to your device, resulting in "Play Back Errors" in doubleTwist Player. The audio file format compatibility capability for each Android device will vary from device to device due to manufacturer changes to the Android operating system. Please check your device's manual for more information on what formats are compatible. It is safe to assume that MP3 and M4A audio files are compatible. The default media compatibility chart for Android is available here. This setting is controlled on a per-device basis.
