Is there something special I have to do to get Songbird to sync with the Palm Pre? When I plug it in and set it to "Media Sync" mode, it immediately gets recognized by Songbird as an iPod.


I know it's successfully transferring music, because when I view the Pre as a USB device, I see the iPod_Control folder with all the music in it. However, the Pre doesn't show any of the music in its player.

While that is nice to hear, this is more of an issue with Songbird's iPod syncing. In "Media Sync" mode, the Pre identifies itself as an iPod. In that mode, I can sync it with iTunes, and it all works as expected. When I sync it with Songbird, however, it doesn't recognize any of the songs that have been transferred.

I suppose all of that will be moot when Songbird supports USB devices (because the Pre does support a "USB Drive" mode in addition to the iPod-faking "Media Sync" mode). However, until that time, it'd be great if the iPod syncing worked as expected.
