what software will you all be using?

[p0rkch0p2007]

now that the new players are coming out, what software will you all be using? the standard windows media player, or something else like mediamonkey. i have thought about this for a while now and am still not sure. the problem is i want to have my entire collection in lossless on my computer and then be able to convert the audio to a lower bitrate to put on my player. windows media player will allow me to do this but only convert wma lossless to wma, not to mp3 or something else. mediamonkey is good if i want my music lossless (flac) i can then convert to anything to put on my player, but there is no gapless with it, (also windows media player is now sony's "standard" software). i just wondered what eveybody's thoughts were on this matter and which software you will be using

Edit: the other thing to keep in mind is that if (and it's a big if) sony do release a firmware update to make the player gapless i think it's much more likely for them to enable it for mp3 or aac not wma.

may be media manager, once it is supported

I have 3 Walkman(s) and I have decided that there is little point in using two or more different media managers.So I have given up the idea of the firmware upgrade.....All of my music is ripped in MP3 anyway so I don't have a Hard Drive full of ATRAC to make me rush to change everything.

Right now I use a combo of Nero Burning ROM and Mp3tag. I'll check out this Media Manager thing when it comes out.
