I build files and rip CD's under flac.  When I want to put them on my 
player (iRiver) I have to convert.  This is easy as has been discussed 
in the past.

I have a player directory that I convert the wanted songs into.  Then 
I use "unison" to sync the iRiver to the directory.  I only have the 
<1 gig of duplicates.
