Not sure if this is what you are asking, but Rhythmbox already converts transparently between music formats, depending on your settings. In my case, my music collection in lossless flac-format, and Rhythmbox converts to ogg vorbis when I transfer files from the library to my SanDisk Sansa Clip. (ogg- and flac-capable flash player, btw, but I have the 2GB version, where flac would consume too much space) > cuK Mats > > _______________________________________________ > rhythmbox-devel mailing list > rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
