Re: [Banshee-List] encode HTC G1 sync to ogg

I've just discoverd that if i right click on the G1 icon in banshee and go to
device properties i can set an option to "encode to" Ogg Vorbis.

This, however, does not affect the music copied across. I'm guessing its to
do with if its ripped direct from CD?

I believe that should only affect files that are in a format not supported by the G1. There's no point in converting files that the G1 can handle natively. 
 


Can someone please clarify.
Thank you.
