What's everyone's preferred workflow for going from lossless (FLAC / APE, etc) to a CD of MP3s? Right now I've been converting to separate MP3 files stored in a different directory, and then importing those into a new MC library. This works, and keeps me from having to re-re-encode files if I want to burn a different CD with some of the same MP3s.
The problem with this is that if I make any changes to the main APE library (ratings, etc), I don't know of any way to have these reflected in the MP3 library without either re-encoding the files and re-importing, or making the changes by hand. Neither option is ideal.
I'd love if MC was able to support multiple files (lossless and lossy) for a single library record. That way I could have a lossy MP3 version easily on hand to burn to CD, and all the info (ratings, etc) would stay in sync between the two (or more) files for that song. Unfortunately, this idea hasn't met with too much support.
Any further suggestions for how to manage collections with both lossless and lossy versions of the same file?
