I have what I believe to be a simple feature request.  I have an iPod, which only supports MP3 and various Apple formats.  However, some of my music is in various other formats, such as Ogg Vorbis and FLAC, both of which play great in Amarok, but do not work on an iPod.  The first solution is to keep two separate media libraries, but this requires massive amounts of harddrive space.  The second solution is to transcode on the fly, which requires minimal harddrive space, but can be processor intensive.

I got this idea from using Subsonic (http://subsonic.sourceforge.net/) which can transcode to MP3 to stream across the internet.  Subsonic uses lame and other CLI utilities and passes everything via stdin/stdout and seems to work pretty efficiently.  I'd love to have similar functionality built into Amarok, either as a core component or a plugin.

I'm a hobby programmer, so I'd be happy to help tackle this problem, but I would require a bit of guidance to get myself started.

There is a script called transkode that can do that already.

When I try to use transkode it exits with error code 127:

/home/woloi/.kde4.0/share/apps/amarok/scripts/transkode/transkode: error while loading shared libraries: libtag.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

This particular computer is amd64, which appears to be the problem, but I don't really know.  Any ideas?
