What's a proggie?

I once had a small program that would automatically determine what
would fit on any size media. Used it a long time ago when I was
putting small shareware programs on floppies and distributing them as
part of a business. Guess I'll have to find that little proggie
again! First I'll try this SyncToy program mentioned in the posted
below from Neil.

You raise a good point.

Not that it, at least for now, helps much but my solution to that was to
write an application that creates random sets of media with the set size
determined by the user. It copies those items to another folder, removing
the album art because my truck can't read tags with my 480x480 pixel album
art in them. Once that copy is done, I just use Explorer to copy to a CD
or
device.

It's sort of limited but I always fill my pocket PC or CDs randomly so it
works for me.

My only reason really for wanting to use it was that I have a pretty
massive library and it is simply easier sometimes to find something in
WMP then it is in explorer that's all. It also save's me the trouble
of figuring out weather or not something will fit or not if I have
stuff on there already.

I only use Windows Explorer anyway. I just get nervous with all the DRM
stuff in Media Player.

Thanks Dale, I'll look into that. I had a feeling that it may have
something to do with the bitrates. However the majority of my music
has been encoded at 128k and it would take forever to re-rip them
(over 5 years worth of encodes). Know of any other way? :) I think I
may be stuck just using windows explorer.

I saw a post from another poster in here, perhaps it was
"cantbebotheredwithaname", that said if you set the bitrate on your
MP3's
to
192K or above, they won't convert to WMA when you sync.

I don't use any portable devices from within WMP (even though I am
still
limited to album art of 200x200 pixels for my own protection just in
case
I
ever do use a portable device and just in case that portable device
has
a
200x200 pixel limit) so I can't say for sure about this tip but it
might
be
worth trying.

HTH,
