AN ALTERNATE - YET ELEGANT - SOLUTION I think this is very important... (1) I say Apple sucks for intentionally making their products
incompatible. Obviously. (2) Here's an alternate solution -- one I am using, and I am
recommending to everyone: Use Dropbox. ( shameless referral:
https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTk5MzA1Mzk ) Here's what I do: I put all my Music inside a Music folder within
Dropbox. (In fact, I moved EVERY folder in the Home directory... to
INSIDE my Dropbox folder!) From any iPhone, iPod Touch, Android, PC, Mac, ANY device with a browser... I can simply go to Dropbox.com, log in, touch Music folder, and touch
a track to automatically download and then play it! If you want continuous music.... I simply make my own "mix tape" MP3
files... (long MP3 files that will play non-stop for 20 minutes, or 60
minutes, or whatever... of a collection of my favorite tracks -a
playlist contained in one single MP3 file, in other words.) Touch
that one MP3 file and the iPhone downloads it (Fast!)... I can do this
just before walking down the steps to the NYC Subway and I have
non-stop music for the next hour or two or whatever. To add music or movies: Put them on your computer. (Of course,
everything is within your Dropbox folder!) (Or, you can add them
from anywhere from any device with a browser.) To remove music or movies: Delete them from your computer. (Or
from any device with a browser.) This solution is SOOOOO Simple! I'm sorry, but all the technical configuration recipes listed in the
How To threads in all the online forums.... is far too complex for me
(not to mention my friends who can barely work a mouse!),... AND,
the results don't sound NEARLY as elegant as "my solution". :) Happy Jamming! Use Dropbox. ( shameless referral:
https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTk5MzA1Mzk ) No, I don't work for Dropbox. I review technology and try to find
easier / better ways to do things... simpler. Questions? PLEASE feel free to email me, or telephone me, bruce@brucewagner.com
