Is Music Manager a smart buy?

Music on a phone is new to me and when I bought my Verizon vx8300 I passed on buying the software and cable bundle. Would I be smart to buy it or did I do the right thing? I bought a 1gb card and am looking into getting Bitpim. Thought maybe I'd just load stuff from pc to card then insert card in phone. Is that a valid plan? The phone's manual doesn't tell me squat.

Yeh, don't buy verizon's stuff. Easier to just put stuff on the card and than put it in your phone. This is what I do.

Thanks for the reply. I'll get Bitpim and see if I can figure out the rest from there.
