[Gtkpod-questions] flac to mp3 transcoding behavior is repository-dependent

[Matt K. <mat...@gm...>]

hi, im new to this list,
i select the <ipod name> repository and click add folder to add a
folder of flac files.  a console shows the progress of the mp3 encoder
making the files ipod friendly.  however, when i go to add music to
the Music Library (one of the default repositories, i get errors.
gtkpod must have been compiled with flac support otherwise it would be
incapable of transcoding prior to uploading these songs to the ipod.
i would like Music Library to be a repository of everything i might
want to upload at some point so when i add flac to it i expect gtkpod
to transcode then and there.  how can this functionality be
configured?  thanks, MK
