I'm afraid that I haven't heard of any attempts to do this, although it does certainly sound like a useful improvement to the music player syncer in Rhythmbox. Just as a note to anybody who wants to look into this - ffmpeg can actually encode to 'ALAC' (Apple's Lossless Audio Codec), with a similar compression ratio to flac. I'm not sure if it's exposed in gstreamer yet, but for iPods this would be preferable to just using a wave file, if the codec is installed. (With appropriate gstreamer plugins, you can actually play alac files in rhythmbox, although I haven't tested syncing them with an iPod yet.) > Thanks! > -Noah -- Calvin Walton <calvin.wal...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
