Hey there!
This is my first post, and im new to the site
I don't know much at all about phones etc but I do have a good general idea.
Anyway, Im getting the HTC Touch HD tomorrow and i'm wondering if the address book contacts will be transferred over from my MBP to the HTC??
And on the subject, when I put my iTunes songs onto the memory card, will the Album Art still be there too?
Thanks
the address book will be synced yes because i use a macbook too and mine are fine
i haven't actually put any music on mine yet from itunes so can't comment there
you'll need sync mate i think its called for the macbook as obviously the acti sync won't work

Great! I will let you know how it works in the morning.
Thank You!
With SyncMate you can sync Contacts and Calendar in your Mac and HTC Touch for free (just install Syncmate Free Edition).

Yes, Album Art will be synchronized too. iTunes synchronization is offered in Expert Edition.
Hey,
Looking for a music app to manage my music with that'll sync with my Desire.
I dual boot windows and ubuntu, so it doesn't matter which platform the software is for.
I know Windows media player will do it - but I don't like using it.
Really like itunes - but the current itunes software sync hacks are still pretty buggy - so am looking for an alternate app
Any recommendations would be great.
Cheers!

Saw that one nad would like to give it a go - but there's no way I can buy the $2.99 app as I only have a UK Maestro which is no longer accepted by google checkout (used to be!)

Try media monkey, it's allways been ok for me.
Try doubleTwist, you will have to google it as I cant post links yet!!!
you can use winamp as well ... there is even a guide on how to sync android with winamp. Just do a google and you can find it.

Hmmm... will have to have a look in to that - haven't used winamp in a while, but might be worth getting acquainted with it again - used to like it

The best for me, Media Monkey !
I'm liking double twist... syncs well with the desire, general playback is quite good and it has access to all my favourite podcasts
mediamonkey syncing works but isn't too brilliant with this phone... and it can't find my podcasts :S
Winamp next
You say that the current itunes sync hacks are buggy but I use a program called Itunes Agent that works great for me. To quote from their website:
"ITunes Agent is a tiny application which rests in your system tray, constantly looking for devices being connected to your system. If a device it recognizes is connected it enables you to manage it via a playlist in iTunes...When you are done modifying the list of tracks for your player you can synchronize it with two small mouse-clicks!"
Im already sold on Windows Phone 7 ill be getting one as soon as verizon launches a htc phone with a big screen and keyboard, but i was wondering if i go to download the zune software now will this be the same software compatible with the phones? and is there anything we can do now with our phones or mp3 collection with the software now in preparation? like add album artwork or anything with the zune software? im trying to get use to the software before the phones launch

the current downloadable vers of zune does not support wp7 however zune client will inform you of the new update with wp7 included.. with that said i would go ahead and install it to add all your music, videos and pics it is truly the best music, video client i have ever seen light years ahead of that lame itunes and it does not recopy your music and use up all of your hd space recopying all your music.
Yes, you should definitely install it. It's awesome software with or without Windows Phone.

Agree with you. It can be a replacement of windows media player. of course, I am using it now, even though i did not own zune device. great performance, quick start up than windows media player, nicer, more functionalities and one most important function which is you can set and add your own media folder to the Zune player.
Scenario: if you placed all your music in the desk top "music folder", you can add this directory into zune and zune will recognise them and add them into your music playlist without create a new database like itunes did.
Give it a try...I'm sure you will like it...
i just downloaded it and its asking for a account in order to play specific content what kind of account do i need to make?
edit: does it matter if i use a aol or hotmail/msn account to register with zune

I didn't experienced this scenario before. however, i think it is doesn't matter you use which account, but it's more convenient if you use hotmail....because both are Microsoft products and there should be a mutual link between them and easy for you to remember the password when you use microsoft's products.
just to update u guys i downloaded it and its AMAZING never had a zune before but this interface is amazing and you can burn cds with this as well i will be using this over windows media player from now on havent tried burning a cd yet.
for those with a zune player are u able to get album art like u can on the desktop version? i wonder if we will be able to get album art with the wp7 version

LOVE IT i've been playing music all day and night lol never did that with windows media player i even played it and fell asleep
I enjoy using the Smart DJ feature in Zune. It is similar to Pandora in some ways. Really looking forward to WP7 I just hope the battery life can handle my music playing.

WP7 vers of zune will also grab album art and display the artist in the background just like the desktop vers..

Wow, really? thats cool...thanks for your information...It would be nice,when using 3G or Wifi to grab album art...without access to PC.
OP I was thinking the same thing, and I did install Zune.
My thoughts;
It looks cool, the interface is 'fresh' and makes iTunes look dated.
But the biggest problem is that I can't seem to managed the actual files and can't 'show in explorer'. That's a real problem for me as I let itunes organise my music so my file structure is a nightmare to actually edit files outside of using itunes to browse. (any tips)
I also find it quite slow, (1.3ghz 2g RAM), which was disappointing. If I had a better PC it might be better.
I think I may stick to iTunes, its not a big deal to sync as a phone is only going to hold ~10g anyway.

I don't think it will do that (unless you buy something from the Marketplace or use a Zune Pass). But it definitely does pull down all sorts of info like artist bios and other artwork/pictures. It might rely on being properly categorized/labeled first when it's been synced in which the Zune software will take care of for the most part. Also, when you plug your phone into any power, it can hop on your WiFi connection automatically and sync wirelessly.

I think you mis understood me it will dl it from the web not your desktop (the zune on you phone that is) using what ever internet connection you are using on you phone at the time.

as long as the song have the correct title, album and artist it will get the album art. no zune pass needed. it works just like the desktop vers.

Seems like a reasonable assumption, but since there won't actually be any phones available until the end of the month we might have to wait for the new ZUNE software until then.
I have windows 8 and it has nice interface for bluethoth, and option to stream music to phone.
Unlucky for us its for windows phone. Is there any app/software so we can use those features on android?

I tried this bubble upnp, and i cant connect, maybe because of ****ty connection that i have here, i'll try at home in 7 days, but can you give me some tutorial on this?

If you have Tk's walkman app, you can use dlna to stream music from phone to windows media player. Have a look here http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&s...xYHACw&usg=AFQjCNFH62C5C2o2rLmqxnHcqEzQbPz_IA

Hey everyone.
I got this new phone an I was wondering how I can easily switch all my music from my old iPhone to my new Optimus. I don't want to pay for the file transfer software. I have found the file that iTunes uses as the library but I don't think my phone will read it though. My question is ,can I convert that file into different MP3 files or is that not possible? How can I get my music from iTunes to the Optimus otherwise?
I'm also a teen so I don't have a credit card that I can use to go the Play Music route to transfer music.
Thanks!!!
