Part III: Going Multimedia with Your Storm
Figure 12-10:
Choose to
convert your
media files
for optimum
playback.
2. On the Media Manager screen, drag and drop your media files from
the My Media view to any folder in My Devices.
You can drag and drop an entire album. After dropping a media file,
you're prompted to convert the file to a format that's usable by your
Storm, as shown in Figure 12-10.
3. Select a conversion option:
• Convert for Optimal Playback: This is the safest bet and is the
default. This option is applicable to video files where the converter
makes sure that the video fits perfectly with the Storm's screen
resolution.
• Copy with No Conversion: Copies the file faster. The file is copied
to your Storm as is, but the file might not play on your Storm.
• Advanced Conversion Options: From here, another screen lets
you downgrade the quality to minimize the file size. The option
also allows you to crop the video so that the entire screen is filled
instead of showing dark margins.
4. Click OK to begin the transfer.
Synchronizing with iTunes using
BlackBerry Media Sync
If you have an iPod, you're probably using iTunes and maintaining a playl-
ist and perhaps a subscription to podcasts or videocasts. Podcast files are
downloaded to iTunes via RSS. RSS — Really Simple Syndication — is a kind
of digital file publish-subscribe mechanism. RSS is the mechanism iTunes
uses to receive audio and video recordings, which most people refer to as
podcasts and videocasts, respectively.
To sync your Storm with iTunes, follow these quick and easy steps:
1. Connect your Storm to your desktop PC, using the USB cable that
came with your BlackBerry.
