The sync button would naturally syncronize the database on the iPod with the Rhythmbox database (Banshee has a similar concept). Transcoding would be the act of turning in my case FLAC and Vorbis files into files supported by the portable player (mp3), this should be supported to any format gstreamer can encode and any settings the player supports, however it seems to have the mp3 value hardcoded likewise the bitrate settings - at least I have been entirely unable to see what profile it uses by default.
Rhythmbox does do the transcoding, it's just not configurable which can lead to problems, especially since it seems to encode mp3s that aren't playable on the iPod at times (I'm still narrowing that one down, I'll open a bug once I figure out what's missfiring). -- Lacks bitrate/codec setting and sync option for iPod https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
