It lets you take advantage of digital music programs like SC and others. It lets you choose music by various data sets and also shows you what your music collection is like. Once you change over you'll see more of what we mean. Plus the size gain and ease of streaming are bonus, so why not take advantage. A great program for converting is dbpoweramp and for tweaking and fixing tags mp3tag. Good luck.
