Nokia PCSuite IS about the clunkiest bit of software that will ever grace a PC; strange that a company that has the best UI on phones can't get to grips with how to produce a PC app. Their Music Manager blows: all the files in, say, My Music are lumped in one big listing, no search function, just endless scrolling. It can rip a CD to AAC but doesn't use CDDB, you have to manually rename the tracks if you want them to show anything other than Track1, etc. I keep hoping that some update will reveal that they finally got hit with the clue stick but it ain't happened yet.

You'd also think they would include in their PC suite an easy way to
convert 3gp videos to AVI or mpeg. As it is, unless you are willing to
pay for an application to do it, you have to use two freeware products,
one to convert from 3gp to AVI and the other to convert from AVI to other
formats. I never realised that PC Suite handled ripping and converting
music in that way, then I've never thought of using it for that as I use
Real Player or Foobar2000 for ripping and converting to mp3 as they both
do an excellent job of it and label them well. Also just found out that
Real Player can play 3gp video once it downloads the correct codex for
them so between using that and my card readers it looks as if I won't be
using PC Suite too much.
