Lossless->lossy conversion for Zune2?

[onlydarksets]

My entire CD collection is ripped to WMA Lossless, and I was hoping that the Zune software would give me the option to convert it to a lower bitrate instead of copying over the Lossless version.

Is there an option or a way to do force the Zune software to do this (like it does for the Zune 30GB)? I can't find anything, so I'm in the process of converting everything outside of Zune. However, this means I have to keep a second set of WMA files kicking around. Not a big deal, but I'd prefer not to if possible.

Unfortunately, there's no downsample option like in the first version of the software. Your only solution for lower bitrates at this point is to convert manually.
