I've got almost 4 gigs of mp3s and wanted to reencode them to make them smaller to fit on my 2 gb SD card. I tried a winamp plugin but it kept erroring out after a dozen or so songs. Someone suggested MediaMonkey so I gave it a shot. In minutes I was able to start the process and it went through without hassle. I knocked the library down to about 1.8 gigs... still too large so I knocked out some songs that I don't listen much to. Turns out that 96 kb/s really SUCKS anyway, so I'm gonna try again at 128 and see if it's bearable. I'm no audiophile but most of my stuff is 192.

ANYHOW (getting to the point of this post) I found a neat little option in MM that will pick songs at random to fill up your storage device or memory card... I don't own an iPod but I think thats what iTunes does for the Shuffle.

I have a spare 512 card that should hold about 100 songs at 128 kb/s... that should get me through a day at work. Music sure makes the time go by faster.
