iTunes Sync
Do you have iTunes? Do you have an iPod? I guess you don’t have an iPod, otherwise you probably wouldn’t be reading this. I have iTunes, I don’t have an iPod, but I wanted to be able to sync my MP3 player with iTunes, regardless of what brand it was… and so iTunes Sync was born. In just a few easy steps you can synchronize any iTunes playlist with any MP3 player that shows up as a drive letter in Windows. You can use either a standard playlist or a dynamically updating smart playlist to synchronize your MP3 Player. It’s as simple as 3 easy steps:
- Setup a playlist in iTunes that you want to sync to your MP3 player
- Configure your MP3 player in iTunes Sync by giving it a name and selecting a playlist from iTunes
- Now just click Synchronize and watch the magic happen!
iTunes Sync works with most MP3 players from Cowon, Creative Labs, Dell, iRiver, JVC, Samsung and Sandisk. View the Tested MP3 Players list for a complete guide to all the MP3 players that have been tested with iTunes Sync.
You can configure as many different MP3 players as you need and synchronize each one with the different iTunes’ playlists. Amazing! Magic! Technology!

iTunes Sync v1.5.0 (454 KB) ~ September 12, 2007
Check out the Change Log to see what’s new in this version.
iTunes Sync requires the Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0:
Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 for x86
Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 for x64
The usual warning: Use this at your own risk. If this does something undesirable I am not responsible. Backup your MP3 player before testing!
If you are looking for an application for Mac OS X to do sync iTunes, check out SyncTunes. I haven’t personally tested it (I unfortunately don’t have a Mac) but it looks very similar in functionality and it’s free as well.
