Auto-Conversion allows you to:
| • | sync or burn any Track in your collection for any device by converting it to a format supported by your device on-the-fly |
| • | convert tracks on-the-fly to lower bitrates to make more effective use of the limited storage capacity on a portable device or disc |
| • | level the volume of synced tracks so that they play at a steady volume on any device (unneeded for iPods, but useful for most other devices as they don't support Replay Gain). |
Whenever the device is Synchronized (or a disc burned), any tracks that match a set of auto-conversion rules specified by the user are converted on-the-fly and synced (or burned). If leveling is enabled, then:
| • | All tracks that are converted are levelled during the conversion process |
| • | MP3 tracks are levelled using MP3 Gain style leveling (i.e. no loss in audio fidelity) |
| • | For other tracks that don't need to be converted because they are in a format supported by the device, they are transcoded and leveled as follows: |
| • | WMA --> WMA 128 kbps CBR |
| • | Other formats are encoded to the encoder defaults for the given format |
| • | For other tracks that are in a format that isn't supported by the device, they are trancoded and leveled to MP3 128 kbps CBR |
Note that any of these defaults can be overridden simply by adding a new conversion rule.
