Antony Pranata of S60Tips has put together a excellent step-by-step instructions to synch your iTunes with your S60 3rd Edition device - and it's really easy, and synching is simple (unlike some older hacks). Along with iTunes and your device, all you need is the open source iTunes Agent and your device's USB cable.

He describes how to do it for Nokia's N-Series devices, but I've discovered that it needs to be done a little different on Nokia's E-Series devices. Read his instructions first, then read below if you're doing it on an E-Series device.

- When you want to setup the synching - connect the USB cable to your device and choose "IP Passthrough". That way, you'll be able to transfer a file to the device using Windows Explorer.

- Once you've set everything up - disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to your device and choose "Data Transfer" instead. iTunes Agent should inform you that your device is setup correctly and you're ready to synch with the playlist. Now you can click the "Synchronize" button on iTunes Agent. I didn't see any notification that it was done synching, as long as you don't get an error, you should be alright.

- If iTunes Agent gives you some error message during synchronization, try leaving the "Music folder" field blank in the iTunes Agent preferences. I received some strange error about "can't delete empty folder" when I choose a specific folder on my memory card. When I left that field blank, it worked fine. (not sure why, I'll have to experiment further and figure that out, because having a bunch of mp3 folders on the root of your memory card makes things messy)

Nokia Podcasting Application is hands down my favorite new 3rd Edition app. I love podcasts and I utilize it daily. But once you install it, there's a few quick things you may want to do to improve your experience with it...

Do you have a podcast of your own, but Nokia Podcasting Application's built-in search engine won't find it. Then you need to submit your podcast feed to Digital Podcast at www.digitalpodcast.com - That's the online directory it uses.

Not happy with the default online directory? You can change it at: OPTIONS -> SETTINGS -> CONNECTION -> Serach service URL

Want to download mature content (such as podcasts that might discuss mature topics or use curse words)? Goto OPTIONS -> SETTINGS -> CONNECTION -> Serach service URL - and edit the default URL, simply remove the "&contentfilter=noadult" from the end.

Is the application always asking you which access point to use before it begins updating/downloading? Goto: OPTIONS -> SETTINGS -> CONNECTION -> Default access point - and change it from "Always ask" to which connection you normally use.

Do you want to stop having to update the podcast feeds manually? Have the application do it automatically - Goto: OPTIONS -> SETTINGS -> DOWNLOAD -> Update interval - Your choices are every 15 minutes, every hour, twice a day, once a day.
