iTuneMyWalkman - 0.955

I tried it because it really fit the basic need I had which was to convert and transfer in one step.

Unfortunately it did not deliver. It looks like it is doing something in iTunes by copying the file and starts converting but the converting happens far too fast that I do not think it did anything because when it said it was transferring, nothing actually copied over.

What a shame...I had high hopes. :-(

I have a T-Mobile G1, this application works with iphoto (except it also imports duplicate thumbnails), Doesn't work with itunes. applescript error, and it seems to endlessly be gathering info from itunes, yet never actually exporting any tunes to the phone.
I sure was hoping it worked perfectly.

Despite updates by the writer, and new versions of both iTunes and Tiger, my Sony K550 still does not sync songs, the main reason to use the software. The iPhoto function works great, but iTunes always copied "0/0" songs, and deletes any songs I had on my phone's memory card.

So I'm still dragging the songs manually in the finder instead. Oh well.

Instructions are somewhat ambiguous and confusing. It gives the impression that you can just work it from the Apple script menu in iTunes, to sync and unmount, and everything will sync and work automatically, but in fact you need to have the program open as well. Then it works pretty good.

Two images load onto your desktop when you connect your phone - one is titled "Phone Card" & the other "Phone". The main glitch I find is that when you are finished transferring, and you select - iTMW - Unmount Phone, the "Phone Card" image disappears (as it should), but the "Phone" image remains and I cannot remove it no matter what I try.

The message on my phone window says "USB connection ended. It is now safe to remove the USB cable.", but when I pull the cable out of the phone, a warning message appears on the desktop saying "The disk "PHONE" is in use and could not be ejected. Try quitting applications and try again." The only option I have is to unplug the USB cable from the phone, but then the warning message appears -

"Device Removal - The device you removed was not properly put away. Data might have been lost or damaged. Before you unplug your device, you must first select its icon in the Finder and choose Eject from the File menu."

Other than this it is working pretty well, I think it's a great program, and although I have an iPod, I don't take it with me everywhere, and it is still handy to have your music with you if you are waiting in a queue or for an appointment, whatever.

I am using OS X 10.4.8 by the way, with a Sony Ericsson W810I.

I also transferred some photos from iPhoto directly into the memory stick, and they appeared in my phone, under PICTURES > On Memory Stick > PICTURES.

I hope this helps anyone else, but I feel the developer could be more helpful with comments and replies to these Feedbacks, but he does'nt publish his email address for contact. A great program though, cheers.

I just bought a Sony Ericsson w850i walkman phone whitout knowing whether iTMW 0.94 really worked with this newer phone model. But it did, perfectly. The only setting change I had to make was to set the "music"-folder on my phones memorystick as the folder tom be synchronised. Syncing workes flawlessly. Transfer is quite slow (something like ten minutes), but in the meantime the battery charges via USB (which of course takes longer), so i don't really mind waiting. The synchronisation and unmounting of the phone can easily be made from whitin iTunes with the scriptmenu.
