Q: I am trying to convert a whole lot of MP3 files and I keep getting error -50, on some of the tracks, but a significant percentage of them.

I have several thousand mp3 files I'd like to convert to AAC, to allow Itunes Match to have a better chance at actually getting a pozitive match.

 

Howver, after doing maybe 30 or so files I get an error - Error occured converting the file "<track Name>". An unknown error occurred (-50).

 

Any ideas anyone?

    Doing a quick Google search with this search criterea "iTunes An unknown error occurred (-50)" found several types of situations for that error code. I suggest you use the same search critera in a search and see if anything applies.

     

    An Apple article found Here has to do with downloading music from iTunes. I assume that does not apply to you, but may be worth looking at.
