Remotely Sync Your BlackBerry with iTunes? There’s an App for That
Posted in: BlackBerry, itunes, Music, Phones, sync, Today's Chili
Music WithMe will wirelessly sync the music on your computer with your BlackBerry, wherever you happen to be. Specifically, it will sync selected playlists in iTunes over a Wi-Fi or cellular network so your mobile music library is always up to date.
The app, from a company named ParkVu, works with a piece of client software on your Windows PC to read your iTunes library database. Whenever you add or change something in iTunes, those changes are pushed to an app running in the background on your BlackBerry and added to its standard music-player.
It sound a little gimmicky at first, although when on the same Wi-Fi network, auto-syncing would certainly be helpful. But it somewhat ironically solves one of the biggest problems of the iPad or iPhone: the lack of auto-updating podcasts. If you are away from your home machine and you want to update your podcasts on an Apple device, you have to search them out one at a time and download manually. With Music WithMe, you could just check your podcast playlist and have new episodes pushed to your BlackBerry.
Sadly, Music WithMe won’t be coming to iOS anytime soon, although Android, Symbian and Maemo users (yes, both of you) will be getting versions. The trial price, when the app launches any day now, will be $15. The final price has yet to be announced.
