I'm 100% that I am/want to get a Zen Touch soon, however, I rip all of my music as high bit-rate wmas...

I've read that the touch has a bitrate limit. So, I'm going to go ahead and assume that, someone, it'll convert the files to a lower bitrate...

Now this is what I was wondering... Does it convert the files on my computer, or just for the mp3 player? I would like to know because I definitely do not want my music files on my computer to all be converted to a lower quality music file. I'm fine with the bit-rate limit on the hand held; I just don't want this to screw up my current music files.

Also, since the player organized music by id3 tags, I'd assume that my music, ripped as wmas thru windows media player, would be recognized and the names would be correct on the device, right? Or am I completely wrong?

Any help would be great.
