The appropriate gstreamer plugin would have to be installed to play the file in the first place, and in relation to copying said files to the device (such as ogg source to device that only supports mp3), i suppose a dialog noting that 'the device only supports "x" and you need to install the "blah" package to support it' (more eloquently phrased of course).

May be issues when device is unmounted as the system shuts down though... gotta think about it. One of the main reasons i'd like to add this as a rb addition is having more interesting progress indication. Such as instead of a dialog showing which files are copying, having a small icon on that song. Then perhaps the dialog can popup as the user unmounts the device or exits rb, when there are songs left to copy.
