I had a problem syncing my contact and calendar after downloading a non-tagged MP3 file. As you cannot delete any song from your Library only with your iphone, this is dangerous. Even turning Music syncing on again did not solve the problem. Every time the Syncapp did lock up.
So even if the software is great, beware and sync everything you would need before downloading a file. I had to restore my phone.
I keep getting an error message saying "your firewireGUID couldn't be recognized, and therefore music importing will not be available" I mean everything else seems to go the way it's supposed, but yea I keep getting that message everytime I hit DOWNLOAD!........ HELP!! thankx
