I am in the same situation even though I'm using LAME mp3. Here is something else you can do: leave your iPod set up to automatically sync, but only sync specific playlists (don't sync all). In your library, create a playlist called something like "My Synced Music". Set the iPod to only sync this playlist.
Drag whatever tracks you want in your ipod into this playlist. Sync your iPod and you are done. When you want to change around what you sync to your iPod, just add/remove tracks from the playlist. You can easily see if you have more room or maxed out because iTunes shows at the bottom what the current size of the playlist is. A big benefit of this is that you can manage using a subset of your library with you iPod and still have the updates made to last-listened-to and number-of-times-listened. When you manually update your iPod, you lost this functionality. I also use this feature to manage the music for my wife's iPod from the same iTunes library. Enjoy!
