I wanted to dot this again and emphasize what I found here that was so important...

I keep a lossless WMP library, and it downsamples on the fly if I sync to my PPC. I believe the downsampling settings are per-device.
Sweet.
I was going to make the same comment as Derek. Media Player automatically downsamples to the appropriate bit-rate on the fly when you sync a tune to a device...
