Yeah, you coudl try using .ogg or some other format, but since Pocket Music I've found has the best audio quality of all the PPC players, I would prefer to stick with that (plus MP3 is more universal anyway).

Hm... I thought of an interesting idea for a program, it wouldn't compress songs at all, but perhaps there could be a program that would cycle certain songs on sync. You coudl have a folder, and playlists with a few extra bits added to each song... a probability of the staying on the device.

Then, on synce, it would weigh each file by your given probability (it would be pssible to make it so that some songs would never switch), then, it would randomly cylce in and out some songs from a file on your hardrive, to whatever folder you're storing your playlists in. (or maybe it could go on a folder-by-foldre basis)

but sometyhing like that would be quite cool.. to be able to set it so that say, 20% of your songs change out, and that certain ones have a higher chance of being swapped than others.

I'm thinking, a text log could be genreated with filenames, and an integer variable between say, 1 and 9, with zero being always on PC, and 10 always on PPC. the UI could then translate this into slider-bards, and then there could be the playlist editor for both PPC, PC, and the actaul sync utility on both.

Just a thought for another piece of bloatware to add to my PPC, too bad my programming skills are effectively nil =/
