Palm PDA & Cellular Phone Bundles

Palm holders can seamlessly sync iTunes music video to Palm Pre Centro Treo via the Media Sync Mode before iTunes upgraded to the latest version (8.2.1), unfortunately now Apple is striking back that: iTunes will never ever support any non-iPod digital media player.

Then is there any way to sync iTunes music video to Palm Pre Centro Treo other than stepping back and staying with the old version iTunes?

The pay-for- convenience way to sync play iTunes music video movie to Palm Pre Centro Treo

There are third party commercial media sync tools, like DoubleTwist (partly free for Windows user) which can sync iTunes music video to Palm Pre, BlackBerry, PSP, iPod, iPhone etc; and The Missing Sync ($39.95 for Mac user) to sync iTunes music video to Palm Pre.

The Good is that they do the syncing job in seamless way, even computer newbie can handle.

The Bad is that they can only sync the dissociated music & video file from the computer hard drive, neither of them can sync protected content like DVD movie, let alone the iTunes DRM-protected .m4p music or .m4v video movie, or protected .wma music .wmv video downloaded from otheronline store.

The DIY way to sync iTunes music video movie to Palm Pre Centro Treo

Things to know: iTunes offers AAC(DRM-protected .m4p & non-DRM .m4a) music and DRM-protected .m4v video movie; while Palm Pre Centro Treo supports playing MP3, RealAudio .ra music and .avi .wmv .asf, MPEG-1, .3g2, .3gp, .mpeg, .mpg .mov video.

Tools need: iTunes, USB cable, SD card (if you have), DRM Removal Software (to remove DRM and convert media formats)

Step 1. Remove DRM and Convert Formats

Download this DRM Removal, install and run it as the most application software.

Then go to the main window to “Add” or drag-drop source files. The “Settings” board offers various output setting function as output format, bit rate, frame rate, etc, you can customize the target files’ profile at will.

After finishing the output setting, back to the main window, click “Start” to begin the conversion process. Duration depends on source files size.

Step 2. Sync the converted iTunes music video movie to Palm Pre

Connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable, then Palm phone will show up as a USB mass storage device on the desktop => double click the icon, locate the converted media files from the desktop => drag and drop to corresponding music or video file of the SD card => when transferring done, disconnect the phone from computer.

Tips: This method works also for music video movie downloaded from other online stores like Windows Media Center, Zune MarketPlace, Napster, Rhapsody, Nokia Music Store, Spiralfrog, Bearshare, eMusic, Puretracks, MusicGiants, CinemaNow Movielink, Amazon Unbox etc, as well as your home-made movie shot with camcorder or something else.
