I have now downloaded, installed, used, and paid for the Salling Media Sync mentioned above. It works great on the Mac and I understand that they have a Windows version to. Give it a spin:

1. Plug your T-Mobile G1 into your computer using the supplied USB cable.

2. It should appear as a mass media storage device on your desktop. Mine was named "NO NAME." If it doesn't appear, go into the Settings app in Android on your phone, choose "SD card & phone storage," and then make sure there's a green checkmark next to "Use for USB storage."

3. Download the free trial of Salling Media Sync: http://www.salling.com/MediaSync/mac/

3. Install it.

4. It launches and immediately finds and parses your iTunes playlists, including podcasts. There were a couple of quirks in which podcast feeds were listed twice under slightly different names, but that was a minor problem.

5. In a settings screen that is very similar to the one in iTunes itself, choose which and how many podcasts to update.

6. Click sync. The syncing speed is pretty good, but not as good as an iPod, probably due to the slower speed of the microSD card.

7. When done, unmount the phone's drive "NO NAME" from your desktop.

8. Go back into Android's Settings app and deselect "Use for USB storage."

9. Go to the Music app and play your tunes or podcasts.

A few notes:

-- As mentioned elsewhere, you cannot play media from your internal microSD card while it is mounted on your computer's desktop. This is likely a limit of the underlying technology, not of the phone. iPods behave exactly the same way.

However, there is one thing that is likely a limitation of the phone: even after you unmount the phone's microSD storage from your desktop, you still HAVE to go back into the settings and deselect "Use for USB storage." Only then can you play music and movies.

--Album art is transferred with the files.

--Unfortunately, music and podcasts are intermingled in your lists. There seems to be no way to view only the podcasts. Even making a playlist containing podcasts and trying to sync them as music doesn't work. I'm not sure where the fault lies here--I've had similar difficulties with iPod Shuffles. The problem is compounded by the lack of a "genre" view in the music player app.

As I primarily listen to podcasts, and not music, I will likely only have music on it, for now, but it is something that needs a solution. A "genre" view alone would do it.

--I have not yet tried it for video podcasts.

What if, one, under my phone settings there is nothing that says use for usb storage.....

And if I clicked unmount SD card...how to click that back?

Sounds like you have RC30, in which case you'll get a notification when you plug in your USB cable. Just pull down the notification bar, tap the USB notification, and then choose "Mount" from the popup it gives you.

It's also really easy to get the G1 to remount the card—just open the door, take the card out, and then put it back in. The G1 will automatically mount + scan it.

Also: make sure the SD card is mounted on the G1 before you plug in into your computer, otherwise your computer won't see the card.

VERY POOR SITE...POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE....keeps looping you endlessly around unless you BUY 1st.....SAD as it seems they might have a product that works, without trying 1st, who would buy....guess this was either a RICH person or employee trying to get business...DOEST NOT WORK, greyed out unless you PAY.......

That is not my experience. I've been using the free version (only because I haven't gotten around to paying) and it identifies and synchronizes to my G1 without issue on my OSX 10.5 laptop.

I will admit, Jonas' support can be a bit attenuated, but the app does work in trial mode.

if you're on a mac, you can use the following i just whipped up and leverages this great toolkit by Dave Bayer...shout out.

http://www.math.columbia.edu/~bayer/Python/iTunes/

1) install daves stuff ( just " iTunes.py download" and "sudo easy_install appscript"

2) cd to where you put iTunes.py

3) copy and paste the python script below into a file called, say copyPlaylist.py

4) run as follows: python copyPlaylist.py ["playlist name"] [ out_dir]

so:


% python copyPlaylist.py rockin /Volumes/G1/music

caveats: absolutely no error checking , if directories exist, playlist exists, or if destination has enough room.

but, it is quick and simple (attached as well, but rename to .py)

import os, sys,codecs
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import shutil

from appscript import *
from iTunes import *

if len(sys.argv) is not 3:
print "usage: [playlist_name] [copy directory]"
sys.exit()

outdir = sys.argv[2]

pl = get_playlists()
pl_name = sys.argv[1]
print pl_name
for p in pl:
if p.name() == pl_name:
tracks = get_tracks(p)
for t in tracks:
print t.location().path
print t.name()
shutil.copy(t.location().path, outdir)
