Rhythmbox support on-the-fly transcoding when transferring tracks, but
it's currently not turned on due to issues with picking which
destination format to use.

I've started working to fix this, but it isn't quite done yet - see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76528


As a quick hack, you could open sources/rb-ipod-source.c, go to
impl_paste and change the fourth parameter of
rb_removable_media_manager_queue_transfer from NULL to "audio/mpeg".
