I learned this after about three weeks of extreme frustration when I first started.

No more WMP

No more playlists

No more synching

MSC and drag/drop just like you’re going to a USB flash drive.

I have a large music library back on the PC and there’s no way I would want to synch it. 

Microsoft has cause so many headaches with all their garbage.

One other thing I’d advise:  Every so often just backup your entire Fuze to the PC, music, videos and all.  Just make a SansaFuzeBackup folder and copy the entire thing.  Do this once a month or so.  Worst case if you crash or have to re-format…everything is right there in one Copy maneuver.

As far as my Fuze goes…

"No more WMP

Completely agree on those points…If I must make a list, I use the Go List, and drag and drop ensures my album art, which is supplied by WMP to my music folders , actually makes it to my Fuze. :smiley:

Now as far as my 8GB Clip…I still add and remove music from it with WMP(with the exception of any Ogg Vorbis or FLAC that I might use) , in MSC mode, because it’s simple, and album art doesn’t apply, and it’s nice to see just how much room is left when you’re deciding what to add to it. :wink:

I wouldn’t sync if I didn’t have funky little smart playlists, like “songs added in last week”, “favorite songs”, “songs not heard in last week” etc.  Maybe eventually I’ll get tired of these playlists, but right now I like 'em and MediaMonkey handles and syncs them well.  Syncing might be mostly useful for people with dynamic libraries.

Somewhat related … one thing I like about MediaMonkey is that I can set up a playlist ( let’s call it “X” ) that contains all songs but is limited to the size of my microSD card.  Then I can have another playlist that’s basically “all songs EXCEPT the songs in playlist X”.  Then I can sync both the internal memory and the microSD card in one fell swoop.  If I delete songs from playlist X, it’s all handled automagically.
