Hide Mp3s from Sansa Firmware?

<< < (3/3)

Speedy64i:
I did a ren *.mp3 *.ogg and the files no longer show up in the sansa firmware (excellent) but they also no longer play in rockbox, (which i expected).  I guess the only way for me to make this work would be to have some savvy person write something into the rockbox code to make a fictitious extension like MPS be handled in the same way as a standard MP3.  Unless there is an extension that already does this?

linuxstb:
Rockbox accepts mp1, mp2, mp3 and mpa as valid extensions for MPEG audio files (which includes MP3 files)...

grossaffe:
if you have an encoder, you could encode the music into formats that rockbox supports and the sansa doesn't.

Speedy64i:
I'd rather not re-encode my files if at all possible, i tried to rename them to MP1 but it doesnt playback all files properly when i do that.  Thanks for all the help so far.

**edit**

Renaming them to mpa seems to have the desired effect! thanks for the help everyone.  ;D

the Rhapsody side refreshes it's database VERY fast and I can use the VASTLY superior rockbox side for my mp3's.

zajacattack:
Excellent! Glad you figured it out!
