[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 611081] [NEW] Banshee forces transcode for mass storage device regardless of capability

[themuddler]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: banshee

Using a mass storage device (eg Android phone), Banshee insists on
transcoding transferred files to a nominated format even if the attached
device can read the file being transferred.

Should be an option for user to list those types supported by the
attached device (or a database of devices with supported codecs).
Banshee should then transcode anything other than these file types using
the chosen encoder.

Transcoding everything regardless of device capability is wasteful in
terms of both quality and time.

Hope that's of some help :)
