But I don't have a FLAC to MP3 convertor.
Do you recommend one that I can run this test with?

The lack of global hotkeys.

The lack of a party shuffle type thinger (That was actually the reason I started again)

The no iPod support

A few other minor things.

That and I am a little schizo about my music programs, I'm always switching back and forth.

Anubis, MM should do it, just select your FLAC files and convert audio format to MP3.

Just something I noticed, this seemed the appropriate place to put it.

I have a creative zen nano that mounts as a mass storage device to load songs. When I use mediamonkey to auto synchronize it, i set it to load files up to device capacity. The stitch however is that I also have it auto converting down. Is there any way to have it take this into account? Like after it copies check how much space is left and they keep syncing a song or two at a time until it's full? I ended up with 80 megs free space last time I used sync up to capacity.

New idea for this, probably a hell of a lot easier. Just add an "Always do This" checkbox to the error dialog. Ex. Always Fill even though it's showing not enough space or Never fill.

This should work better in the next release, there won't be so much empty space left.
