I had also heard that there was a complete rework of TCPMP coming in the future?? Is there anything to that rumor??

I certainly understand your problem with WMAs then. The problem with many conversion programs is that you are basically re-compressing an already compressed file... which means that sound quality will suffer further. So simply running WMAs through a converter to spit out mp3s might not be a great idea. There's really only one way to find out: try it on a file or two. If you can detect a loss in quality, then you will have to make a decision about whether or not the features of a particular player are worth paying the price of lower quality. If the coversion seems to go well w/o any noticeable loss in quality, then maybe you could just set up a conversion program to do your whole collection in a batch overnight or something.

As for TCPMP rumors, I'm not really up to date. However, I think there is a forum on the homepage for TCPMP where you could probably get the latest info.
