Re: [Banshee-List] Unwanted conversion when syncing with IPOD

[Michael Barraclough <michael michaelbarraclough com>]

I do have the MP3 codec installed, have MP3s in my library and Banshee plays them.  I just don't get the option to convert to them when transferring to the IPOD via Banshee.

If your library is all ogg, you may not have had a need to install these plugins yet.  In Ubuntu, they can be installed through the Synaptic Package Manager.
