It had the feeling so far. Maybe I'm not actual with my version
(Debian etch rhythmbox 0.9.6-8 upgraded to Debian lenny RB 0.11.6-1
now). Up to now rhythmbox tried to synchronize the computers view
with the target ipod complaining if you just want to __extend__ with
parts of a foreign Music collection not synchronize.

Yea, you're right, I did want to say "flac", however, the point is

That's what I had. Ripped the CD to flac and used sound-juicer to
convert to mp3. After including the resulting mp3 directory you have
two versions (the original "flac" and the converted "mp3") in your
Music folders.
So what I have now:
- My "normal" account has "flac".
- A different account converts "flac" to "mp3" in a different HOME
environment.
- The ipod is maintained by this secondary account to:
- not have flacs on the ipod
- not have mp3 on the Music directory where "flacs" are already
there
This is clumsy!

Thanks for your comments, maybe you have better ideas than I had
implementing the above.
