Description Vamp898 2011-02-07 22:29:28 UTC

Version:           2.4.0 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I have a lot of FLAC Files which my MP3 Player cant play.

I used Banshee becease he automatically converts everything to MP3 when putting the musik on the flash drive.

Amarok seems to have a smiliar function but it doesnt do anything. It just copies the FLAC Files 1:1 to the stick and ignores everything whet i set at "convert"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start amarok, right click an album --> copy to --> MP3 Player

Actual Results:  
3 Buttons shown up, copy, copy + convert with preset, copy + convert with manual set

What every you click, he just copies the flac files

Expected Results:  
he should convert it before he copies it to the flash drive

Same here - FLACs are simply copied to collection, no matter what I choose.
KDE 4.6, Amarok 2.4.0 on Gentoo.

It hasn't been working for me either.

I've got openSUSE 11.4 with KDE 4.6.0 and Amarok 2.4.0.

I tried transcoding both FLACs and AACs to MP3 and WMA. None works. I've got ffmpeg, naturally.

This never really worked for mobile collections so I disabled the menu entry until a better solution can be found.
