Would be possible to add feature to auto skip files, that already exist? (do not encode them again)

I have quite big FLAC library and I want to have copy in MP3 for mobile usage without having to always re encode whole library when i add something into main library.

It will be also useful feature to delete all other files from output folder which is not in original folder (moved, deleted, renamed...).
Something like synchronization of two folders but one in FLAC and second in MP3.

    Skipping files that already exist is one of the key features of FlacSquisher -- I'd be surprised if that's not happening for you. FlacSquisher does keep the file in the queue that gets checked, but it should loop through existing items very quickly. If I have no new files to encode, it will only take a few seconds to loop through several thousand files for me. Do the new MP3s have updated timestamps?

    Other people have also asked for the "sync" feature; I may implement this at some point, but it will take some work.

    I can confirm that already existing files are skipped. That is great :)

    Any progress on "sync" feature please?
