BlackBerry Media Sync 2.0: Not everyone uses iTunes

Not everyone uses iTunes' MP3 library. Really. BlackBerry maker RIM has acknowledged the batch of people who use Windows Media Player to organize their music with Wednesday's release of RIM's updated music-syncing application, BlackBerry Media Sync 2.0. The latest version of BlackBerry Media Sync will let you synchronize songs and playlists from the Windows Media Player's library to your BlackBerry, in addition to syncing music from iTunes. You'll be able to download BlackBerry Media Sync 2.0 to your PC for free from RIM's site when the software becomes available today (there's a preview version available for Macs). If you've already got a previous version installed on your BlackBerry, you'll automatically be notified about the upgrade.

Unless we hear otherwise, we assume that version 2.0 of BlackBerry Media Sync will retain the same requirements as the previous version--version 4.2 and higher of RIM's operating system and mass storage capability. We also expect it to remain compatible with the BlackBerry Storm, Bold, Pearl Flip, Pearl, Curve 8900, Curve 8300, and BlackBerry 8800 Series smartphones.
