The space savings is huge if you have 164/192 kb/s originals. I set the quality all the way down for conversion to WMA the first time, but there are some issues with clarity and distortion. I'll have to re-do some of them to see if it gets better.

To start with, open WMP on the PC, and click on the litttle tab in the middle of the left side edge. Should be a fly-out that has Copy to CD or Device as one of the choices.
Go up to the menu bar and hit Tools, Options and the Copy Music tab. Here's where you select the quality setting, which determines space requirements. I used Windows Media Audio, variable bit-rate. You don't have to select the destination folder here, but you can if the Axim is docked.
Before leaving this Options manager, click on Devices, and click on CD player, and Properties, and set for Digital Copy mode if not already chosen. If the Axim is docked, you will also get Memory Card choices, where you can select the quality for specific destinations.
Save the changes and go back to the player. When you click on Copy to CD or Device, you should see your music files with a check-box to select tracks. If you don't you'll have to generate a playlist or point it to your local content.
The player will show which tracks will fit in the destination that has been selected ... in the right-hand pane, select SD card or whatever. Click on the white box at the top of the destination area to explore the destination folders ... same as exploring the Axim.
When you hit Copy, it will happen ... or should.
