Well, as you said, "yes ... and no". I tend to listen to stuff on the
road that I may have downloaded, but never heard before. A quick look
at the device to see what I am listening to would be very helpful. I

I like to burn flacs to CDA/CDR and not do a lossy compression until I
have a lossless copy. Sometimes its nice to just load in the format you
have, even if temporarily.
