New software syncs Sony & Nokia phones with iTunes

Salling Software has announced the availability of a new application for synchronizing iTunes data with mobile devices from Sony, Nokia and Sony Ericcson. Salling Media Sync lets users with iTunes easily sync music, playlists and podcasts in iTunes onto a non-Apple device. When the phone is connected to a USB port a user can select specific playlists and music for. However, the application does more than just move the files over: it also recreates each actual playlist on the device and metadata -- for phones that support it -- is also synced in order to keep track of play counts. Media Sync works with all standard media files include MP3 and MP4 file types but does not transfer DRM protected files.

Salling Media Sync can be downloaded at no cost for basic use, or for $15 the software can be updated to increase sync times.
