General Preferences manage the overall convertor's behaviour, such as how to accept or copy source files, overwriting destination files, and actions invoked after conversions.
To open the General Preferences tab, choose the top menu item Converter > Preferences > General.

Check this option to try to convert all files of source folders regardless of their extension. This option may help to convert media files having incorrect or unknown extensions. This option is enabled always when single files are provided for conversion. |
Accept playlists and convert to format: As Source / M3U / XSPF / PLS / ASX / WLP. |
Check this option to convert source playlists to 'As Source', M3U, XSPF, PLS, ASX, or WLP playlist format. This option is enabled always when single playlists, website shortcuts, or URLs are provided for conversion. |
