I just typed out a whole reply and it's gone. Anyway, I'm using GearPlayer now. No converting, no issues. I paid $119 but well worth it. It's reliable and there are many options such as monitoring FTP sites, setting up work groups (none of which I use). Unlike Expresscribe, this program is mine for life, updates and all. It's the best quality of all the players I've used. Definitely worth the money.
