Hello Slau and Ignasi! Here my last update...
It makes no difference how the selection of the files is done. Both, the Finder and the search dialog work the same. The problem is, that the integrated encode function only accepts a maximum of 1000 files. Selecting a single file more will deactivate the menu item "Encode Selected Audio Files". I double checked this on different hardware platforms. So I finally used an audio convert app for that.

Perhaps it's worth checking out Ignazi's suggestion. > Slau > > > > On Nov 9, 2020, at 10:51 AM, Martin (Punky) Sopart <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > I searched for all files with the ending .wav > > Alternatively I searched all music files. > > Both searches gave the same number of files. > > So maybe I have to encode folder by folder ☹ to find the beast. > >> -----Original Message----- > >> From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On > >> Behalf Of Slau Halatyn > >> Sent: Monday, November 9, 2020 4:43 PM > >> To: PTAccess List <[email protected]> > >> Subject: Re: OT: Finder - Convert Selected Audio Files > >> > >> Hmm, not sure why you're not seeing the encode option in the first place. > I > >> just selected 141 files and right-clicked and the encode option was > available > >> without even being under the services menu.
