I've been managing my iPod with Amarok for quite some time. A few months back I upgraded to 1.4.8. Today was the first time I've tried to transfer flac files since upgrading. Previously I used transKode, but I had some issues getting it to work on my new 64 bit platform, so I opted for AmaKode instead. I've run the script and configured it to transcode to mp3 when necessary, but when I try to transfer my FLAC files, I end up with FLAC files on the iPod, rather than mp3s.

I'm having a hard time figuring out whether amakode is failing to transcode, or if Amarok is never giving it the signal to transcode. Does anyone have any tips?

Thanks for any help.

Changing the option from "Transcode when necessary" to "Transcode when possible" seems to have fixed the problem, but it's not an optimal solution, because I sometimes have m4a's to transfer to my iPod, and I don't want it to transcode those. Is there any way to convince Amarok that it's necessary to transcode FLAC before putting it on the iPod?
