Hi,
As I have no patience at all, I just took at shot at Robins script to
convert all folder.jpg files into cover.bmp files at 162x162
resolution(max size the tiny Sansa display can handle I think). It is
probably not very elegant coding, as I have never programmed perl
before. There is also a
Check out jriver media center. It does a very nice job for me keeping
my 4th gen and 6th gen ipod in sync with my FLAC collection.
I use to do the perl script method of keeping FLAC and MP3 copies in
sync, but found that to be a major pain in the butt. Mostly due to
issues using iTunes. So
I used to have a 20GB iRiver H-120 which was rockboxed to support FLAC.
It was a fantastic player (until it gave up after several years of
reliable usage).
I now have an 8GB Cowon iAudio 7 which supports FLAC natively (albeit
not gaplessly). I do miss the larger storage space but it's a great

Have a look at flac2mp3:

It propagates tag changes automatically, and only transcodes if
necessary.
Once you've done the initial transcode, incremental updates will not
take long

The Cuwon is not my favorite player because I have no real use for
mobile video but it is a niece piece of gear for flac music if you
don't mind the size.
As others mentioned the main drawback of FLAC on a portable player is
thier size but this or any 30GB unit would allow for 900+ flac songs.
I have been trying to get to grips with anapod today, trying to avoid
the curse of a second mp3 library :-:
However, I can't seem to copy a .flac file over via drag and drop, or
any other way to be honest! The help isn't to helpful, so I'm kinda
stuck atm.

3. Which Music Manager is best for ease of use, MediaMonkey, Sveta
from dbPowerAmp. etc?
IMHO (of course) OrangeCD. It understands how to scan FLAC and mp3 and
can, with it's plug-in, also send music to be played on your SB3.
I don't really want to rip to FLAC and MP3 and maintain two copies.
J River Media Center is a pretty decent library manager, and has a FLAC
plugin. As for portables, I use one of the many flac2mp3 scripts
floating around to keep the mp3 tree in sync.

If you're a windows user have a look at Anapod from
www.redchairsoftware.com.
It's not a music manager, more of an alterntive way of copying music to
the iPod. I have FLACs organised in a folder structure
(genre/artist/album) so I don't really need the library stuff. Anapod
lets you drag/drop
1. Should I get a new iPod? If so which one, Touch, Classic?
For all of my needs I'm staying with solid-state players, despite their
obvious storage limitations. I like the durability, the size weight,
and have no need to carry around 500 hours of audio. The new Touch,
however, is overpriced
also, there are portables that support flac out of the box:
http://flac.sourceforge.net/links.html#hardware
(scroll down to portables)
the iaudio and trekstor are pretty popular.

Rip and encode in FLAC, but maintain a mirror MP3 library. This is by
