I use this script mainly to transcode flac files to mp3 before transferring them to my mp3 player. Often I remove one file from the player, but later decide to readd it to my playlist. This results in reencoding the file, even if do not select "remove transcoded files after transfer" in the options for the device.
Would it be possible to implement a cache for transkode, which ensures that each file has not to be encoded more than once?

I get lots of errormessages like this one when I try to start the transKode script:
/home/tv-control/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/transkode/transkode: error while loading shared libraries: libldap-2.3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
These are the libraries transKode was missing so far:
libacl.so.1
libaudio.so.2
liblcms.so.1
libnfsidmap.so.0
libldap-2.3.so.0
Each time I install one lib, transkode wants another one. But I am sure it does not need libldap :) And who knows what comes next...
Do problems like this exist on other distros? Is there a solution for this issue?

as I understand, replaygain only writes the gain into the database instead of storing it in the files directly. Is that correct? And does it also apply to flac files? I could not find a possibility to calculate replaygain for flac files without actually writing them into the file.
Does the script use tags in the files if they are present, or does it calculate the gain again to write it into the database?
After that many question, I'd like to suggest to add an option to write the database tags to the files, so that other players can profit from the work done by your script.
And thumbs up! Your script is really cool. The only thing missing is a bit more documentation, as one has to search through 10 pages of comments to find out what exactly "scan collection in album mode" or "scan playlist in album mode" does. - Jun 01 2007
