My understanding is that without C3PO LMS uses a strict set of rules,
always preferring the same codec if possible.  It always did that in the
past for me.  I've never wanted to go from lossless to lossy!

I don't know how to disable FLAC to MP3 for a specific player in FILE
TYPES. There are multiple entries but how to tell which is for which
player?

>From what you say C3PO is somehow overriding convert.conf for every
single player, even when disabled.  Can I check somehow that all the
rules are still available to LMS?

I use the standard convert.conf - attached.
