M-Crew File Types

[sfbp]

I love M-Crew! It does everything I want with my bookshelf unit. Except one thing.....

I want to be able to "register" files from the PC that are .oma (or .OMA) in the file section of M-Crew. I can do .WAV, MP3, .MID, .RMI and a couple of others. But .oma is nowhere to be found.

Here's the weird part

the file selector dialog reads

AudioFiles (*.mid;*.mp3;*.rmi;*.wav;*wma)

Notice there is no period before the wma. Weird. Anyway I cheated and renamed one oma file to be mp3... and it not only registered with MCrew but played perfectly. So this is entirely about file names.

Can anyone help? I looked through the registry and through every ini file I could find for this string (in the brackets) above. No dice.

I wonder where the install got it from? And where it put it.

Thanks

Stephen

I hate posting replies to my own question. But maybe this is helpful to someone out there.

I experimented by renaming tracks from .OMA to .OMA.mp3. MCrew works perfectly (no track length is shown, life's tough and then you die), and the track plays.

Just one problem. I can reimport this track (it stopped working under the old name!) to SS, but the codec and duration are not properly parsed. Of course SS doesn't find the renamed one using its original database entries, as the only provision is for MOVING a track. Once reimported, the track DOES play in Sonic Stage, though.
