Free Utility To Synchronize Non-Apple MP3 Players With iTunes

iTunes is a great, useful and free music player and organizer. It enables many non-iPod MP3 players to be used with iTunes. The project enables you to synchronize your MP3 player with an iTunes playlist automatically, or with two small mouse-clicks.

iTunes Agent is a small application resting in your system tray constantly looking for new MP3 players and other music capable devices connecting to your system. When a device it recognizes is connected to the system, it will create a play list for the device in iTunes and it will synchronize that list with tracks on your device. You may then modify this list, add and remove tracks, before you tell the iTunes Agent to synchronize the list with your player.
