Blackberry Owners can now Sync with iTunes: related news

BlackBerry Media Sync offers iTunes music joy

blackberry-sync.jpgResearch In Motion is keen to stress the all-round media marvellousness of its BlackBerry handsets in order to shrug off their staid business reputation, and it’s doing a pretty good job with the likes of the Curve and Pearl. Now BlackBerry Media Sync is upping their music capabilities further. How? It’s a desktop application that makes it simple to sync music from your iTunes library with your BlackBerry, both in terms of specific playlists and mixes chosen at random from your entire collection. It automatically syncs with your playlists too, so changes you make in iTunes are reflected on your handset. I have to admit, I’m torn. I use the Curve as my work mobile, so it’d be good to have music on there. But then, my personal phone - which is always at hand - is an iPhone with a bunch of recent albums on it,

The BlackBerry Gives A Nod To iTunes

If you’re a BlackBerry addict who also covets the songs in her iTunes library, good news in on the way. RIM has announced details that its new BlackBerry Bold (also known as the BlackBerry 9000) will ship with a new BlackBerry Media Sync application when the device starts selling his summer. In short, Media Sync will let Bold users transfer their iTunes files from a desktop computer to the Bold via a USB connection. Media Sync won’t be able to transfer iTunes tracks that contain DRM protection, however.

Sync your iTunes libraries

iTunes can easily share its content over your local network. But if you want a complete copy of your media library on more than one Mac, you’ll need to synchronize some files. However, merely copying, say, a folder full of AAC files from one Mac to another is not enough; you must also copy the iTunes Library files containing metadata, playlists, and other important information. And therein lies the rub: If you’ve changed the contents of iTunes on both Macs, merely copying the iTunes Library files in one direction or the other (manually or with a file-synchronization utility) won’t synchronize their contents, so neither iTunes library will be correct. For example, songs present on both Macs’ hard disks may not actually show up in iTunes on one Mac or the other, and one Mac’s playlists might entirely overwrite the other’s.

Google Calendar Now Supports CalDAV, Syncs Natively With iCal (But Not iPhone)

One of my personal sticking points for keeping my online life totally synced is now one step closer to being easier—Google Calendar now supports CalDAV and can sync natively with OS X's iCal without a third-party add-on. But there's a huge hitch—as of now, I see no way to sync events created on my iPhone back into a Google Calendar, as you can't create an event in a CalDAV calendar directly on the iPhone. Damn, almost there—looks like I can't throw out BusySync just yet. But if you've found away around this limitation, please share in the comments. So close! [Lifehacker]

DRM-Free ITunes for BlackBerry Users

For years Apple's iPod and iTunes Store have been the world's most popular digital media player and online music retailer combination, but if Research In Motion (RIM), maker of the BlackBerry smartphone and Apple's number-one iPhone competitor, has its way, that may soon begin to change. On Wednesday, RIM quietly released a new piece of software that enables iTunes users to sync their DRM-free music files with their BlackBerry media players.

iTunes 7.7

iTunes is a piece of software that lets you add to, organize and play your digital media collection on your computer, as well as sync it to a portable device. It's a jukebox player along the lines of MusicMatch and Windows Media Player, and you can use it on a Mac or Windows machine. The most significant difference between iTunes and some other media players is the built-in iTunes Music Store (where you can get podcasts, music videos, movies, audiobooks and TV shows, too) and its multi-level integration with Apple's iPod portable media player.

Apple's Polish Joke: Polish iTunes Store Offers No Tunes

itunes.pngApple just expanded the list of international iTunes stores on its website, adding countries such as Poland, Qatar and the Czech Republic. The problem? None of these countries can buy anything through the iTunes store. Rather, they're just setting up the infrastructure so the residents of those countries can have access to iPhone Apps. What a sad, lonely iTunes store that must be. No music, no videos, no podcasts. Just Super Monkeyball and a few hundred to-do list apps. [iFun.de]
