Jeffrey, Why do you want to "leave the card in my Treo"? An SD card reader is going to be faster and, frankly, more reliable. And they're easily had for free.
Regarding moving music on/off the card, I find it easy/simple to just drag/drop/delete folders as needed using my favorite file manager. Again, it's simple, free, fast, and reliable. What's not to like about that? - Craig p.s. I do this because we have about 80GB of music, so I have to be very selective about what goes on the card -- if I let an app simply pick on its own, god knows what I'd end up with.
