Strange, because that player supports ogg and flac. The only way I can prevent it from converting to mp3 is to "unactivate" the Gnome Audio Profile for "CD Quality, MP3". But I still can't get it to convert to ogg upon dragging a flac file to my player.
I guess I'll have to join the rhythmbox mailing list and ask about this. If I get an answer, I'll report back here. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected] Archive: http://lists.debian.org/[email protected]
