works really well, except doenst copy the cover art, however you can use a program called tunesleeve to embed the cover art into the music file, which works ok, except it doesnt take the files itunes itself has downloaded. does anybody know of an application to get itunes to embed its own artwork?

You should try SyncMyPortable It works great with the W950 or any other portable audio device that can be connected up as a Mass Storage Device. It was designed from the ground up to allow you to synchronize any portable audio device with the music you have stored in iTunes (library/playlists). It also fully supports album artwork (including the new downloadable album artwork in iTunes 7.x), on-the-fly file format conversions, M3U playlists (with full support for the playlists in the SE UIQ smartphones), etc., etc... You can check it out here:

RIGHT OK: there a couple of programs i used, all free and work great.

follow these steps to sync itunes with w950i incl. cover art

1) update itunes so that all files have album art, and then convert them all to aac if you prefer (saves battery life and performs better on w950i) (right click -> convert selection to aac)

2) using itunes insert artwork program (http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/itunes_insert_artwork.zip)
this takes all the itunes artwork, and embeds it inside the music files themselves, this is needed so that itunes agent copies the artwork as well, and so you dont need to have jpg files in your album folders.

3) then simply synchronise your w950 with itunes by using itunes agent which is available from (http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=ita&filename=ita-1.1.exe&use_mirror=kent)

you may need to follow he guide on how to set it up at: (http://ita.sourceforge.net/docs.html)

now you have a full FREE soloution to synchronise itunes with w950i
