MobileTechReview Forum, News and Reviews: ParkVu Announces Updates to Music WithMe iTunes Syncing BlackBerry App

ParkVu today announced new features and significant user experience enhancements for the Music WithMe BlackBerry app. Music WithMe wirelessly syncs users' iTunes playlists with BlackBerry, via a cellular or Wi-Fi connection. Here is more info:

Using a cellular network or Wi-Fi connection, Music WithMe automatically and wirelessly downloads music files from users' iTunes collection to their BlackBerry smartphone. Now with the latest version, BlackBerry owners can track the status of their downloads. For each playlist, for example, users can see how many tracks have been uploaded to the cloud and how many have yet to be uploaded from iTunes. In addition, Music WithMe now has the ability to sync music libraries that are stored in network attached storage locations.

Music WithMe allows for remote wireless syncing and, unlike streaming solutions, once music is downloaded, no wireless connection is required meaning no more data is used - saving money and battery power and providing a dependable music listening experience regardless of cellular reception. Tracks are downloaded directly to the BlackBerry memory card and are played as usual.

From within the app, users select which iTunes playlists they want stored on their BlackBerry smartphone. Music WithMe then works with iTunes on the PC to ensure that any changes made to the playlists are automatically reflected on their BlackBerry smartphone.

Music WithMe does not have to be open on the device to sync with iTunes. When the desired playlists are selected, the settings are stored directly on the BlackBerry smartphone. Using BlackBerry smartphone's native media player, users can listen to their favorite songs from iTunes directly on their device.

-Playlist status display - Number of playable tracks, not supported tracks (video or DRM protected), tracks in the cloud, tracks needed from iTunes, tracks that cannot be found
