[Bug 222090] [NEW] amarok doesn't perform format conversion for media devices

[Robert Persson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

This affects amarok 1.4.9.1

In the "configure audio device" preferences for each external audio
player is the option "other formats will be converted to" with a pull-
down list of formats (ogg, mp3 etc). However when I try to transfer any
formats that aren't in my list of supported formats, amarok simply
refuses, making no attempt to convert the files.

What ought to happen is either that automatic format conversion should
be made to work or that the option to convert should be removed until
this feature is implemented.

I should add that I do at least have lame installed, yet the option to
convert to mp3 still doesn't work. Conversion to ogg doesn't work for
me, but I'm not sure if I have the right encoder for oggs installed or
not.
