So I wrote this AppleScript that singles out all of the files in your Library and converts them to a format of your choice, but it deletes each old song (from the disk and from the Library) as soon as that song is done encoding. Thanks to Doug Adams, as I looked at one of his scripts to figure out the 'choose from list' thing.
[robg adds: I haven't tested this one ... but as a general comment, if you're so hard-pressed for disk space that you can't convert then de-duplicate, you're going to have other system-related issues as well (assuming your music is on your boot disk/partition). Keeping at least 10% of your drive space free is advice that I've followed for quite a few years; I don't know if that figure is too high or too low, but I've never run into any drive-space-related issues using it as a benchmark.]
