You also need to decide whether to use iPod-style folders, which some people seem to hate (I'm not using them). How do people get by without this? I found that MediaMonkey , a free music organizer/player, sync tool that I had used with an older MP3 player, will sync my tunes with the Pre. I still wish they'd add voice memos.
