The new rom for the HX4700 includes WMP10 and I am really starting to like it! I am so pleased with its automatic sync capabilities that I thought I should tell more people about it. It basically allows you to setup criteria (I have about 7 or so) and it syncs songs automatically based on those criteria to that device. Plus, you can remove a card from your device and use a card reader and WMP10 will see it exactly the same. It keeps recognizing information on each card/device. I use WMP10 for all my music and it is great because in the past, I would have to spend hours copying individual songs or artists to my ipaq. To make the situation even better, it also can do automatic conversion! I have found that windows media audio files at 64kb sound good enough (on very minimal testing) and therefore, I turn my 2gb CF card into a virtual 4gb card because I use half the space and I basically have an iPod mini's amount of space. The conversion is all automatic and I never have to do any of it by hand. This has revolutionized music on my handheld and I have over 1,000 songs on my 2gb card. My criteria mainly consist of manually rated highly songs, auto highly rated songs, songs played more than 5 times, and then a random mix (found under More... in the criteria list) and also restricted to over 2mb but under 15 because some of my music files are huge, like radio or book feeds.
What do some of you guys use? My goal here was for as little work as possible because I'd much rather spend my free time working on my web site or doing something else more productive...such as listening to the music! Enjoy!
