I have a need to reencode my music to OGG OPUS to save some space, as I put all the music on my Ipod and 320 KBPS MP3s take up too much space.
Right now I use a quick and dirty Python script I made that checks what's in the folder, then converts it and adds it to a database so it doesn't reconvert it once I try converting newly downloaded music.
It would be much more efficient however if you added an option to the config which allowed me to specify the output format I wish to reencode to, then did it up on download instead of me having to do it manually, and also having to keep the MP3s so that Deemon doesn't redownload them when I refresh / add a new artist then run 'deemon download -m'
This would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure if this is something I'll add at this point, but I'll consider it if more people chime in that they want this feature.

You should only ever use download -m one time: to establish a complete library. After that, use refresh to refresh and download new releases.

Downloading all releases by all monitored artists (download -m) can take a lot of time and will redownload tracks if they aren't present.
