Sync any MP3 player with iTunes
[ Music ]

>> All these people with their Palm Pre excitement. A lot
of people getting all excited because the Palm Pre was
supposed to sync with iTunes at launch, but Boy Genius
Report pointed out and Lifehacker seconded the motion that
any device can sync with iTunes if you've got a little third
party software help along the way. For Windows folks let's
try iTunes Agent. Go to ita.sourseforge.net and click on
download, then get the most stable release. Download it and
install it. If you don't have the latest dot net framework
for Windows you'll get an error so go to Microsoft.com and
make sure you have the latest version, then install that.
That may take a while, so be patient. Once you have iTunes
Agent up and running it's going to prompt you to configure
it. If you've never used it before just say no because
you're not bringing in any old info. Also make sure you
have iTunes installed or it might have trouble communicating
with the iTunes that isn't there. Now, if all goes well
iTunes will launch and a pop up will tell you iTunes Agent
is ready to sync or devices. To add a new device make sure
it's connected to your computer, then right click on the
iTunes Agent icon in the system tray and choose preferences.
Press new, you'll get a warning letting you know that the
first time you sync all the data on the new device is going
to be erased so make sure you have everything off that
device before you go ahead. Then fill out the fields naming
your device and so on. You can choose particular play lists
to associate with the device. If the device has only got
four gigs and you've got 10 gigs of music. Once you're done
press save. Now, I've set it up so my top rated songs are
going to be put on this USB stick. I got a little thing in
my car I can plug the USB stick, play the music right off of
there. To sync it right click on iTunes Agent and select
synchronize devices. Your selected songs will now be synced
to the USB stick or whatever device you've got plugged in.
Mac users can't use iTunes Agent. Why don't you guys look
up iTuneMyWalkman from Ilari Scheinin which is similar to
iTunes Agent and a little more integrated actually. In this
case I hope that syncing feeling is a good thing. I'm Tom
