BBitusergroup just let me know about this free piece of software created by Ilari Scheinin. The software is kind of like RIM’s own upcoming MediaSync in that it allows you to sync your iTunes playlists & songs to your BlackBerry. (one way sync only) The difference is that unlike MediaSync this works on a Mac! I don’t think it does DRM music but I can’t confirm. I don’t have a Mac to try this myself but please let me know if it works well!
