If I can’t find a tool that does the following then I am going to write some software to do it. If you know of such a tool, please let me know, otherwise let me know what else this tool should do. I am only considering audio on the first release so let’s focus on getting that right and not discuss other media for now.
1) Search for FLAC files that are in playlists, specified directories or match an expression of user specified tags (e.g. Rating >= 4 AND Genre=”Pop”).
2) Resize album art folder.jpg or the first .jpg in alphabetical order or a .jpg that matches a regular expression (e.g. *Front*.jpg) to a user specified size. The resized jpg can optionally remain in the directory or be removed. The advantage of not deleting it is that the resize only needs to be re-done if the original .jpg has a newer date.
3) Convert FLAC to MP3 passing user specified LAME parameters, FLAC tags and the resized album art.
4) Converted MP3’s will be placed relative to a user specified top level directory e.g. “My Musc/Artist/Album/01 Track.flac” could end up in “My MP3/Artist/Album/01 Track.mp3”
5) Update iTunes library with new or updated playlists and MP3’s.
6) Update iTunes library with anything that iTunes does not support in MP3 tags e.g. ratings.
7) Tool will support two-way sync e.g. if you update a rating in iTunes it will be propagated back to the FLAC file.

I believe most of us are using iTsfv right now. This doesn't handle the flac part, MC is doing the conversion of that for us. The biggest missing piece for me is the ability for ratings done on the ipod to get back into MC.
Are you planning a standalone app or an MC plugin?
If standalone app, then does that mean when the flac tags get updated with new rating info that we'll have to do a "update library from tags" in MC to get it to show up in the MC library, or are you going to do a plugin that would take care of that end as well?
Robert Joe:
I haven't decided on standalone app or plugin. I'll have to research and take that into consideration.

I have been playing around with iTsfv and have a couple of issues. 1st issue is no matter what I try it does not seem to update the iTunes db with the rating from the POPM id3 tag, same with the playcount. Not too concerned about going the other way yet.
Other question how can I easily get the playlist from MC into iTunes? MC exports it as an m3u file?
P.S. It looks like media monkey has a beta that syncs with the touch/iphone 2.x firmware. I have not tried it yet just following their boards. The interesting thing is it requires itunes 8 to be installed so I suspect they may very well be using the API, not sure though.
