Converting Music Files, Can I?

Hi so this is my second time using your product. I bought the one for WHS V1 as well. Very nicely done.
So here is what I am trying to do. I want to be able to keep a separate library on my server for syncing with my phone. Your product seems to do the trick except for a few steps and I am wondering if it is possible.
What I am trying to do is translate my MP3 files to the AAC 125-bit default for my iPhone. I would like this to happen at the import step when your product moves new files into the watch folder. I am wondering if I can do that with this product. If not I noticed there is a batch command tab I am wondering if I wrote a batch file to run would that work. I am thinking I can set up your product to restart iTunes once a night and that the batch will kick off when it restarts. If that is the case how this will effect the sync if say I translate the files and remove the MP3 files from the iHomeServer Library will that then be seen as a missing file and will it try to re-copy the original MP3 file that will still be on my master-home library?
Finally as a suggestion, as an added feature you should allow your product to kick off scripts via Timers or events. That way we could run stuff like http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ to help organize or libraries.
Anyway great product.
