Post [How To] Sync with iTunes

(taken from http://www.furiousbear.com/)

Download the following program:

For 2000/XP: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/n...s.zip?download

For MacOsX: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/n...X.zip?download

Requirements:

-iTunes 4 (Tested with 4.7)
-Windows 2000 or XP for Windows Version or Mac OSX Panther for Mac Version
-iRiver H100 or H300 series with latest bios update


Setup Instructions:
Please follow these instructions carefully. A minute or two of work
now will make your iRiver experience much more enjoyable!


1. Make sure that iTunes is properly configured (very important!):

Open the preferences dialog (Select Edit->Preferences)
Switch to the "Advanced tab"
Make sure "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" is checked.
Make sure "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library"
is checked.

2. Consolidate your iTunes Music Library (only need to do this once)
Select Advanced->Consolidate Library...
Click "Consolidate"
3. Plug in your iRiver device and double click the "iRiver Sync.exe" file.
4. Enjoy!


Using the Program:

1. Run the program
2. Choose "Sync Now"
3. All your iTunes music will be copied to the "iTunes Music" folder on your iRiver device.
4. All your playlists will be exported to your iRiver device.
5. The iRivNavi.iDB database will be rebuilt to include your iTunes music*

* Currently iRivNavi.iDB will only reflect the contents of your iTunes music library.
Other files stored on your iRiver device will not be included. This feature will be
added later.


Limitations:

Currently, you must use the default setting for your iTunes Music Library path.
If you have never changed this setting, you don't have to worry about it. This
will be fixed in a later version.


THIS PROGRAM HAS NO WARRANTY. THERE MAY BE PROBLEMS. YOUR DATA MAY BE DELETED. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
