Just to be clear, although I do some programming, I'm not actually a rhythmbox developer - I'm just another user. I agree with you here - the FAQ should include some more explicit information about transcoding. > Also, I don't know anything about HAL and what I found didn't make a lot > of sense to me. HAL stands for the hardware abstraction layer. What Sven was talking about is that ideally the Linux HAL should know about your "Sansa Clip" player and what formats it supports. When this information isn't available, the .is_audio_player is a handy user editable override supported by several Linux music players (not just Rhythmbox). Editing the .is_audio_player file is a short term solution - it will be fine for you. In the long term (to help other Sansa Clip owners) the ideal solution is to get the HAL updated. This was why Sven suggested you file a bug with http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ (under the product "hal", component "hal-info"). > Can you point me to information on which fields can be > included in the .is_audio_player file? I don't know personally - sorry. Peter _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
