I was in exactly the same position. The management overhead in just transcoding *some* tracs is too high. I wrote flac2mp3 which takes a library of flac files and converts it to a library of mp3 files - same structure, same tags. http://projects.robinbowes.com/flac2mp3 R. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
