CHAPTER 25: DROID Media Sync
508
NOTE: You can find several alternative media sync options not covered in the preceding table.
For example, your DROID comes with the Media Sync app, however, it only syncs media to PCs,
so we do not cover it here. Verizon supplies an app called VCAST Media Sync; however, it also
works only for PCs, so we do not cover it in this chapter, either. There are also many other
solutions available on the market to sync media to your DROID. If none of the options described
in our book serve your needs, please do a web search for “DROID media sync.” During our
research, we saw that Salling Software (www.salling.com) had both Mac and PC versions of
its Media Sync program. Finally, Winamp (PC-only, www.winamp.com) lets you play your media
on your computer (like iTunes) and also sync media to your DROID.
Where to Enjoy Your Media on Your DROID
You can view, play, or listen to media on your DROID in a few different programs. As you
have seen, we have chapters devoted to each type of media supported on the DROID in
this book (see Table 25–2).

Chapter 15: “View Videos, TV Shows, and More”
Moving Files With Your USB Connection
Your DROID’s USB connection provides the most basic method for transferring files
between your DROID and your computer. It works not just for media files, but for all
types of files, including Microsoft Office documents, PDF files, or anything else. What
this method does not provide is the ability to sync your playlists from iTunes or
Windows Media Player or perform any sort of compression or optimization for the
music, pictures, or videos you transfer to your DROID.
