Rhythmbox / iPod functionality  
Written by donarntz the 23 Oct 09 at 17:32. New
Some changes to rhythmbox would allow more songs to fit on iPod shuffle, as well as reduce error messages.

Solution #1: Rhythmbox random fill / down convert mp3s iPod shuffle
Written by donarntz the 23 Oct 09 at 17:32.
It would be really nice if I could just tell rhythmbox to randomly fill my shuffle, and possibly down convert to a lower bitrate to fit more songs. Also, I think it would be good to not get an error when you over select the amount of songs to place on a shuffle. When I select too many, it crashes my system. Something along the lines of "rhythmbox can not fit all the selected songs, would you like to fill as many as possible". That would be spectacular.

Solution #2: Auto convert files copied to mp3 player
Written by Lucky LIX the 30 Oct 09 at 11:34.
It would be very nice if Rhythmbox would have an option to convert any music files from the collection on the computer to a chosen file format when copying to a portable audio player.

Example: I have a collection on my computer with flac, mp3, ogg, ... but my portable player works best with mp3 190kbps, so I want Rhythmbox to automatically convert the flac and ogg files to mp3 190kbps when copying. (Original files on the computer aren't changed of course)
