Convenience.  The plan was to make syncing the music a step in syncing
the Treo:  Do the normal sync, then fire up either PTunes or Card
Reader and sync the music.

I have about 17 gigabytes of music that I take with me, on random play.
Drag'n'drop management isn't a viable option until I can fit all of my
music on a card.  And even then, it's not so good because that means
double maintenance - if/when I remove something from the collection,
I'd have to remove it from two locations manually.  So until then, if I
do this I need to use a method that will randomize what gets carded.

Everything in my ~17G worth is specifically selected from my overall
music collection for use in my portable player.
