You know me, I don't like to complain

First of all, it is awesome that Nokia has brought us Nokia Media Transfer, which is made to sync S60 smartphones with iTunes and iPhoto. I love it.

It will even re-encode video for playback on the handset if you want, which is pretty fun (though I keep most of my video in non-iTunes-appreciated formats) and works pretty well.

But when working with music, it will frequently fail to sync over everything it should, or does so in such a way that the playlists don’t work. The files don’t all appear to get transfered and I don’t really know why. It drives me nuts when I think I have a playlist moved over and then only a couple of songs made it. Alas!

This is still beta-level software and works well enough most of the time. I have 6GB of available storage on my N95 and tell Nokia Media Transfer to use 3GB or so for music and such—I guess more testing and fiddling is in order. I need to find out why it doesn’t move everything over it should. I am also having a hard time finding out where it is logging things, if it even does. Surely it has to be dropping trails around my computer somewhere!
