Thanks Craig. Oh... and one other preparation point... since I am not a big fan of iTunes (mostly due to their monopolistic intentions to control the music I paid for... but I digress..), and have found myself to be more of a fan of the Amazon MP3 store (which is now on the Pre directly, which is awesome), I also downloaded doubleTwist... which downloads straight from Amazon, and syncs to the Pre.
I have also tagged all of my music with album art via MediaMonkey (which is another great piece of software), and all I have left to do is move it all from my microSD card in my Centro to the laptop, pull it into doubleTwist, and wait to sync my Pre!! I know.. you all probably think I'm a bit OCD-ish with all this prep... but IMHO, I just want (and need) the transition to be seamless.
