Possibly. But we want to make this easier.

I meant "MP3 players". And yes, we already have support for those
devices, but it's not integrated into the ripping process.

Integration might mean having the user to plug in their portable music
player to check what it is, and what it supports, and try to make sure
we're ripping to a format it understands.
