Afaik the 3300 comes with all software you need, if you upload a mp3 with the software it will be formated into the correct format.

Normally it should do so.
You really should use it.
Additionally:
awb is a small format, but it sounds crappy.

No. Audio Manager just converst audio CDs to aac format. Other than this, it doesn't perform any file conversion.You can edit the tags of the aac files and transfer music files to 3300.
As far as I know, awb is more like a ringtone format than a music format. aac is the next generation music format (mp4).
To convert your music files to aac (yes, aac takes up much less space), go to http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm and download dBpowerAMP Music Converter. After installing the application, go to http://www.dbpoweramp.com/codec-central-mp4.htm and download the following codecs
mp4 & AAC Decoder
Pystel mp4 Encoder
FAAC mp4 Encoder
AAC Codec (The others are optional, but this ons is required to convert to aac)
AAC >> Mp4 & Mp4 >> AAC Codec
After downloading and installing these, open the music converter and choose the files to convert. Then choose "Advanced Audio Coding" codec and choose a quality setting. The settings "Radio, Tape, Internet, etc." are variable bit rate options. You can choose a fixed bit reat as well, but VBR takes up less space. I convert all of my mp3s higher than 96 kbps to "Tape" bit rate. There is no significant quality change and the size is usually the half of the original mp3 file, depending on the length and the bitrate of the song.
However, it's best if you try different settings and compare their sound quality and size yourself.
For some reason, some of the songs can't be converted using the AAC codec. In that case, I convert that song to mp4 using one of the mp4 encoders and after that I use "AAC >> Mp4 & Mp4 >> AAC Codec" to convert them to aac. I'm not making two conversions, though.
aac and mp4 formats are actually the same, but they have some identification differences and this codec changes the identification of an mp4 file to an aac file and it only takes a second or so.
If you have any other questions, you can ask them here.
And to a mod or anybody else:
After the discussion is complete, could you add this thread to Tutorials section. I think that this would be useful to many 3300 users.

There are a lot of converters available in the meantime also called transcoders, because they can decode one format and encode it into another on-the-fly. One of them has already been mentioned, but dBpowerAMP is not the only one. By the way, you don't need all available AAC codecs for it, e.g. using the one based on FAAC would be enough. 
Other programs able to transcode from MP3 to AAC/MP4 are foobar2000, Winamp, XMPlay (being audio players that need the necessary plugins then) or the new winLAME version, Speek's Multi frontend, HeadAC3he, CoolEdit and GX::Transcoder which can even encode in AMR WideBand (a speech codec used in the 3GP container) while the others only know the AAC/MP4 format.
Some big all-in-one applications like iTunes, Nero 6 or J.River Media Center can also transcode from MP3 to AAC, so if you already have one of those, you can also use them.
If you want to directly rip CDs to AAC, you could also use any CD ripper that works with command line codecs like FAAC, e.g. EAC, CDex, Audiograbber and others. Easy CD-DA Extractor has already implemented this open source AAC codec, but does not mention its usage.
The homepage of FAAC and FAAD2 (the open source decoder) also has a Knowledge Base and a forum where you can find a lot of information related to AAC/MP4, but also other formats of course:
