SongBird, the Mozilla powered open source system for organising your music and putting it on your iPod, which has been developed to replace the dreaded iTunes, does NOT (and i repeat NOT) actually support syncing music to your iPod! At least not the latest generations of iPod, iPhone etc. Just a warning to those who thought that SongBird, which has been heralded as the best replacement for iTunes, could actually replace iTunes - it cannot. It is a beautiful product on its own, it just can’t do what it was meant to do…

Of course it is all due to Apple releasing produts with yet another undocumented protocol, so the developers of third party applications are left in the dark. In these days and ages I have stopped being suprised. I am not even disappointed, just… bleh.
