It is time to buy a music player...

Well I ordered an early Christmas present for myself: a Sony Walkman NW-A45 to replace my old and overfilled iPod.  I'm looking forward to it coming in!  I was heavily considering the FiiO but ended up opting for the Sony.  I downloaded their music software and am a little disappointed with some of the lack of sorting options but oh well.  (You can't sort album by artist by year like iTunes can, and the songs are out of order...)  I might just keep iTunes on my laptop for playing music while I work.  We'll see.

Most music players will have you working to correct these issues.  I add the song number to each song title on my FiiO.  It works great.  To sort by year, add the year to the album title file name.

Thanks!  Actually, I figured it out.  I'm used to iTunes for which when you click on the, say, "Album" column header, it sorts by album and maintains the track order.  If you want to do that in the Sony software, you need to first click on the track number header, then the album header.  No need to rename the track titles which is nice.  I'm actually really impressed with how easy it is to move my library over to the new software.  It appears that I don't even have to convert any file types or anything.
