I love amaroK. I have a wonderful feature request.

My music is currently stored in Ogg Vorbis quality 8.

When I drop files to be transferred to a Media Device. I\'d like amaroK to on-the-fly convert that song into a format such as MP3 at a certain bit rate. And save that file in some special folder. (this is so that amaroK _only_ converts it once)

When transfers take place, amaroK would find the appropriate converted file in this special folder. ie same filename apart from *.ogg *.mp3

This would mean that when I buy an ipod nano, that it all \'just works\' despite my collection being high bit rate ogg vorbis (quality .

It could work for any format of file in the collection. (in theory)

I\'d be happy to code this myself as a plugin when I get my ipod nano.

Does anyone think they\'d find this useful?

PS. I PERSONALLY want to get the coverart working for the ipod nano. I will find where the images are stored and then send a patch in hopefully.

I\'d find that very useful...

As would I.

This would be great for all of us with other formats. I use MPC for much of my collection, and even with the scripts it\'s a real pain.

the coverart would be great.

the covers are embedded in the file but have their own database I think..
