To the OP, this is exactly what I've been looking for for days now! I have a Sony Ericsson W800I Walkman phone, with a 512Mb stick. It will only play MP3 or M4A (AAC) files, and they have to be placed in a specific folder structure (artist\album\track) type format.
My collection is predominantly in WMA Lossless and high bit rate MP3, neither of which are directly suitable for a Portable Device such as my Walkman phone. I thought Media Monkey was the answer to 2 days worth of scouring the web for suitable software. Sadly it won't transcode on the fly, though this would be a killer feature. Especially so with the millions of these Walkman phones that are going to hit the market.
The only thing I've found to come close to doing what I want, is by using Winamp and a Transcoder plug in. That does do the job, but is a little slow, and offers no synchronization features.
MediaMonkey, there is a huge gap in the market here - Sony Ericsson are selling these phones like hot cakes, and their provided software will only downsample from MP3, which is no good if you are a lossless WMA user.
Can you do something? Can't be too much work - you already have the various functionality required in the program, just not quite as integrated as it needs to be
