Can it import and export .flac (lossless) files?

Anything you record is saved as a .wav file. Only .wav files can be transferred to and from the RC-300.

You can import and export sounds or loops into it by connecting it to a computer. .flac files, i have not connected mine to see what the files are saved as.

Hello, yes it does, although sadly most of my music files are in the mp3 format, the ones I have in FLAC worked like a charm syncing with winamp...

You can, and with anything you can't the work around is to burn that to a cd, and then import it into Itunes. I have successfully even converted a video from youtube into an mp4 format, and then import that into Itunes.

I am confused. Can I use this on a Mac I have flax files in a hdtraks file and the unit says they are unsupported? Also aiff files in iTunes. Still no go??

It works like a basic USB thumb drive, just drag and drop files. You could easily just 'add folder' and name it "So-and-so's playlist" and add all of the songs you want on there. No software needed

I do believe that since FLAC is lossless, it doesn't matter what you use to rip it. I use Foobar2000. It takes a bit of finagling to get it set up, but just follow an online tutorial and you'll be up and ripping in ten minutes tops.

Yes it can, you can either connect directly to your computer, or load the wav files on an SD card and import them that way.

Lawrence/Melton, thanks for the info! I am thinking about .atrac for nostalgic reasons. Some years down the road, when Sony folds and ATRAC becomes public domain, perhaps ATRAC files will be more playable.. ;) But looks like PCM/WAV is the way to go, as someone else mentioned that I will be transcoding the audio if I save it as ATRAC3+. So I will probably just do PCM and convert it to FLAC for archival and playback. The CDs will be for giving to my relatives so they can play it on any CD player. Not as a storage/archival medium. That'll be on my RAID harddrive. I am picturing another scenario. After all these work (and $$$ to buy the MZ-M200) to upload a pristine copy of the recording to my computer, and put the MD away for storage in my attic/craw space, something happens and I lose the copy on my raided HD, the copy on my RAID NAS, the copy on my offline HD, and the copy on my offsite storage, and I am back to square one, bidding on an MZ-R200 from ebay (as I've probably sold mine), paying dearly, to do this all over again. ;) Well, of course this won't happen, as I can probably still hunt down the copy I gave to my relative, but the thoughts have occurred to me. ;) In the end, I think the MD would've cost me more than if I had purchased a professional DAT player in the first place. There are so much that can be said about why MD failed and how utterly stupid Sony is, I am not going to say anything other than Steve Jobs is the best answer to Sony's paranoia about copy protection. Protected a few pennies, but missed out on billions.

You can mix your file down on the machine and import from card, also you can import your project track by track from the card as well. That's what I do. Also, this works both ways, you can edit and return the file back or load other wav files from your computer into the Tascam.

Yes, but the included cd does not do anything importing wise. Just use normal import.

No, I dont use any software to transfer, I only use windows explorer to copy de music to sansa clip

I've never done it that way but Yes you should be able to. At worst you would make a track as you listen, then you could save or delete. I/ve copied most of my vinyl and burned to CD as well as having a copy on my computer. Audacity works well (free)

Yes you can. As long as it is in a supported format that iTunes or quicktime player can play. Converters for this can be found through google most are free.

You can download mp3 or other music files like .flac to it. it is not a streaming device, and does not have an internet connection to use a service.

Yes you can. I worked with Filemaker on Mac and PCs and you're able to transfer the DBs easily.

I have been checking all over and I have not been able to find out if this can play FLAC audio files over DLNA. Does anyone know the answer?

Yes. Just need to format it in a format thats appropriate for Windows. Like exFAT. There are some formats that will be read/write for both Mac/Window. These will be most versatile
