Banshee will re-encode tracks only if it needs to.  It knows what 
formats the G1 supports, and will re-encode any tracks not in one of 
those formats.  If you want to re-encode all MP3s to ogg vorbis even 
though the G1 supports MP3s, you will only end up with inferior sound 
quality because of the re-encoding process.

I do not know any simple way to force all tracks you copy to the G1 to 
re-encode as ogg vorbis (unnecessarily).

I'd say the best solution is to use ogg vorbis in your library, then it 
will copy over in that format. :-)

Best,
