Rhythmbox Gets iPod Support

Bhondai writes "The latest release of the popular GNOME based iTunes clone, Rhythmbox has, amongst new features, initial support for the iPod. Things are still a little unpolished at this moment (requiring manual mounting of the iPod to /mnt/ipod), but this does look promising. A list of changes and new features in Rhythmbox 0.7.1 is available at Footnotes."

"Well I guess it does but despite the trollish title, I wonder if it on-the-fly convert OGG to MP3 when it transfer tunes to the ipod ?"

Your life would be a lot easier if you just used MP3 in the first place.

Given that there number of consumer devices which support ogg is low, and that conversion to mp3 from ogg further degrades the sound quality, is there any good reason to keep your files in that format?

Just a question, not a troll.
