So far iTunes sync is very slow.... anyone else experiencing this? I'm running 1.0.2. I'm syncing about 400 songs. On my iPod touch it takes about 2 mins, on the palm pre 10+ mins.

The Pre may need to convert the iTunes Library XML file into another format, in order to read your playlists. This could be the reason for the delay.

I did love in Vista when it detects new hardware it says Apple iPod HAHAH Palm.

I am using Media Monkey to sync. It goes really quick!

Maybe because it's the initial sync and there is some sort of conversion as enjoyingsilence suggested. Keep up posted on posted on sync speeds after the initial sync!

It just took me an hour more or less to sync 4.2GB worth of music through media monkey. I wonder if it worked right, I will have to check

I just started my sync of 3.5gb of music... I'll let you know.

Did you perform the sync in Media Monkey via Mass Storage or via the iTunes support? I wonder if Mass Storage is faster.

Media mode. Playlists don't work Everything else is fine! 1.8GB free now LOL.

I'm half way through!

Crap, I am sad we didn't get to meet. We will have to have a Precentral LA meetup! I just used the browser for the first time, *BLEEP* it is good.

Here is a quick snap I just took of my monitor. It is pitch black in here so the flash went off.




Time to charge it overnight. See ya'll tomorrow for Pre-Day and D-Day

Edit: First complaint: TERRIBLE usb plug design. It is a pain to take off to charge. It is easier to slide the keyboard up and open it from there. I might just cut it off eventually.

Really? So it's better off making one big playlist?

[Eguy]

Media Monkey made m3u playlists, the Pre does not recognize them.

sync is done

[c4sper]

mine syncs but the when i try to play the mp3s is just goes back to the music app... lol

[JONNNathannn]

That's weird, mine synced. Took about 20 minutes for 700 songs but they play fine.

Sync was very slow first time.

I only sync'd 4 albums, but by my estimate the time to synch was on par with my 60gb ipod. Attached the cable, hit the media sync option, itunes opened up and everything was pretty much the same as working with my ipod. album art only imported for one of the 4 albums, so perhaps there may be a slightly longer wait, but at that point I was testing for functionality than content. Now that I know it works, I find myself wishing they'd kicked it out with more memory or a way to add storage via a card.

[jhoff80]

As it turns out, it's just slow to transfer files to the Pre in general. I'm doing a direct Mass Storage transfer, and it's giving me 60 minutes for 5.78 GB.

Took 1 hour 10 minutes to do 1,100 songs for me (about 6.3gb)
