            Bug ID: 312407
           Summary: don't transcode from mp3 to mp3.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: amarok
           Version: 2.6.0
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Transcoding
          Assignee: amarok-bugs-dist@kde.org
          Reporter: thiago.bauermann@gmail.com
                CC: matej@laitl.cz, teo@kde.org

I have MP3 and Ogg Vorbis music files. I intend to use the transcoding feature
of Amarok to copy my collection to my device which understands only MP3. For
files that are in the Ogg Vorbis encoding, Amarok clearly needs to reencode
them. But it's also re-encoding the MP3 files, which is a waste of time and
probably even degrades the audio quality of the music.

Please add an option to transcode only when it's necessary to change the file
encoding.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create USB Mass Storage device collection.
2. Configure it to transcode to MP3.
3. Copy an MP3 track to the collection.

Actual Results:  
The MP3 file that ends up in the device is not the same as the one on the local
collection (the file size is very different, in some cases).

Expected Results:  
The MP3 file that ends up in the device should be exactly the same as the one
on the local collection.
