you connect the Storm to the Mac.

Meet and greet Media Manager
Roxio is known for its CD-ripping software. (Ripping converts music files in
CD format to other popular compressed formats.) RIM licensed a portion
of Roxio and packaged it with the Windows version of BlackBerry Desktop
Software. Even though this version doesn't offer the entire Roxio software
suite, you can still take advantage of fantastic features, such as
✓ Ripping CDs
✓ Converting files to get the best playback on your Storm
✓ Managing music files
✓ Syncing media files to your device
If you have an old version of Media Manager, just point your desktop Internet
browser to http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop for direc-
tions on downloading the latest version for free and installing it on your PC.
In the following sections, we show you the Media Manager interface and how
to copy a video file onto your Storm.
