I've been using MusicBee for a while now (switch from iTunes) and I love it.  One thing that would really be great is if we could get support for multiple conversion parameter settings to use with "on the fly" format conversions while syncing.

I have 3 formats in my library.  The majority are flac files that I ripped myself from my CD and vinyl library.  I also have high quality lossy files in both aac and mp3 formats (downloads from iTunes and Amazon).

When I sync to my Android phone I would love to convert the flac and the high quality aac files to "pretty high" quality aac and the high quality mp3 (mostly 320)  files to pretty high quality VBR mp3s.

I originally had it set up to convert everything to aac and a lot of the mp3s had some issues (makes sense converting one lossy algorithm to another).  I switched over to convert all to mp3 and I had similar problems with files that were originally aac.

Right now I am handling it by maintaining a separate "sync" library that I manually convert all files in to.  It is a small PITA to keep it in sync with the main libarary.

Multiple conversion profiles would be awesome:-)

Thanks for you consideration
