Show HN: Easy Audio Sync: audio library syncing and conversion utility

I have a lot of lossless audio files in my music library, and I needed a way of mass-transcoding them to a lossy format for my mobile device. I came up with Easy Audio Sync as a solution. It's a desktop application that performs full-library conversions between a source and a destination folder.

MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and Opus are supported as output formats when transcoding. An option exists to copy files that are already in a lossy format, to avoid lossy-to-lossy conversions. The program can skip existing files to perform incremental sync, and also there is a "clean destination" feature that deletes files in the destination if they have been deleted in the source.

The program handles metadata in a robust manner, so that tags and cover art are properly transferred when converting between different formats. Multithreading is supported while transcoding to enable fast conversions.
