It's either that or rename all the WAV files.

I found a Windows bulk rename utility that allows me to rename all the .wav files in the tree to .wax.
When I drop the tree onto emplode, it doesn't import the .wax files, so the result is what I needed.

I suggest that emplode be able to ignore .wav files, similar to the way .m3u files can be ignored. This would have made my problem vanish, without having to mess with the file extensions.

Of course, changing to .wax means that some things in Windows no longer realize these are playable files. Changing the files back to .wav means I run the risk of forgetting, and dropping the tree, with wav files present, onto emplode, which would be bad.

And I need to remember to run the bulk rename every time I rip some more CDs, before I drop the tree onto emplode. The likelihood of human error means that one day I WILL end up with wav files in emplode.

Question: How DO other folks who retain their "original" CD files handle them?
