I currently have a 5th gen 30gig Ipod with rockbox on it and I have my music on Jriver in flac. How should the conversion be set for mode, encoder, and encoder settings? I would like to keep the files as flac.

use EAC to rip and as long as you have rockbox installed you can use flac files with your iPod

You don't have to convert. Install Rockbox on your iPod, since that can play FLAC files.

Ok guys thanks let me tell you exactly some of the choices it gives.

for mode it has
never convert
always convert
convert unsupported formats
convert uinsupported formats and high bit rates

for encoder it has
external encoder
flac encoder
monkeys audio APE
mp3 encoder
musepack MPC
Ogg Vorbis
uncompressed wave
windows media

for encoder setting
select quality 1 through 8
then check boxes
verify encoding
add 4k pakking block
add seek table
use ogg as transport layer

These are the settings in particular im not sure how to set?

So far I have it set to never convert and flac encoding.

Can I ask why you are converting to FLAC, when you already have FLAC on your Jriver MP3 player? All you just need to do is transfer the music over to your iPod as is, and it will play. At least, that is the case for me.
