iTunes MP3s on BlackBerry


Information Appliance Associates has released pearlTunes, a software utility for BlackBerry Pearl 8100 users that copies and converts non-copy-protected MP3s from Apple's iTunes to the MicroSD memory card on the BlackBerry. The software copies favorite iTunes playlists to the BlackBerry 8100 without requiring user intervention once playlists are selected. "At last, BlackBerry Pearl 8100 users can have the best of both worlds. iTunes in Windows to manage their music album and a BlackBerry Pearl to enjoy the MP3 (non-copy-protected) music from their iTunes playlists." PearlTunes is priced at $10, and requires Microsoft Windows 2000/XP and Apple's iTunes.

    AAC

    I have a BlackBerry pearl and easily drag, drop and play unprotected AAC files on its SD card. I can Also use the AAC files for ringtones, so long as I drop them into the ringtones folder. And as an added bonus, album artwork appears on the screen as I play a song. So I don't get what these guys are talking about not being able to sync with AAC files. This software seems pretty expensive to add a whole lot of nothing.

    uh . . . . windows only?

    Can you do this without this app? can you do it on a mac? If not, it's pretty unclear how this is mac news.

    RE: uh...windows only?

    This application is windows only, but I can plug my BBerry into my iMac and the SD card mounts as a removable Hard Drive. Then I can navigate through and drop the files in their appropriate folders.

    This is why I commented that $10 is a lot to pay for limited functionality when you can load what you want right out of the box.
