I jumped the gun and ripped a bunch of tracks into Windows Media Player in the WMA Lossless format only to find out that my digital audio player will only play WMA standard or mp3. My question is, can WMP convert from Lossless to standard WMA before syncing? The "Help" info seems to elude to that idea but don't give enough specifics for me to be sure. I was hoping that maybe someone with experience might have had to do something similar. I am sure hoping I don't have to delete what little library I have started to do it all over again.

I don't see how this ripping/burning/DAP stuff caught on so big. I feel like the stereotype of when the old geezer first tried to program his VCR.
