Multiple version for Audio and/or manual conversion FLAC files for iPod transfer  
Written by dsieburgh the 29 Jul 10 at 19:56. New
When I rip music to my computer I use the highest quality settings I can and have a large collection of FLAC files as part of my music library. The problem arises when I want to copy these to my iPod which does not accept these files. I end up having to manually convert these files to MP3 and then copy these over. I usually end up deleting these files after the transfer.

Solution #1: Automoatically Convert FLAC/WAV files to MP3 when transferring to device

I think it would be a great improvement for Banshee/Rhythmbox to create a temporary MP3 version of each FLAC/WAV file during the transfer process.

Players such as Songbird and winamp convert files on the fly for transfer to devices. Banshee should do the same
