RIM has updated their Media Sync Utility to work with Windows Media Player, previously built to bring your iTunes music and playlists to your BlackBerry intact. Believe it or not some people don’t use iTunes, and I was one of them for a long time – in fact, most of my playlists didn’t survive the ill-fated transition forced by a gifted iPod Touch. Now that Media Sync works with Windows Media Player, I can get back to my roots and get my playlists in order again. Head to blackberry.com/mediasync to grab it for free!
