Who the hell cares about Itunes? If you love Itunes that much, buy a fricking ipod.

Relax man... Please stop that stupid Apple bashing. As a Mac user of course I like iTunes but I would never say that an iPod is THE player to own - especially when it comes to sound quality. Apple is not a bad company after all. They have some great ideas and the best OS (next to free Linux) I know. No one forces anyone to buy their products. If you don't care about iTunes that's fine but please don't just send those people that do straight back to Apple because we're MEIZU fans too after all.

huh ? The player acts as a simple plug'n'pray USB Stick, mountable like any other USB Stick. No secrets there. Just set your Meizu to USB Mode = MSC.

I think they mean that they want software to organise music.

Yeah it's super strange but trust me: Even if set to MSC it won't recognize on Leo 10.5.1. Maybe next update will change that cause I hear it works on Tiger. Of course you can access the player like a USB stick but it doesn't work with the software "SyncTunes" because of the problem I described above.

Works fine on Leo 10.5.2 for me

Any news on this? I wrote a rsync shellscript which I will be happy to share here, but it's not that special, it just syncs the music files, nothing fancy with playlists, so if anyone knows a better way, please share it

The only reason for me to use would be an ipod (but I aint no)
There are Billions of Music Manager managing Meizu Players, for examle my favourite one: J River Media Centre (but any other would do as well)
Why hacking Meizu Firmware for that grap???

OK, as the owner of a brand-spanking new MacBook (2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.4 "leopard"), I can tell you without a doubt that the M6 does not mount as a simple USB 'brick'. In fact, it doesn't mount at all. It's visible to the OS through Disk Utility, but it refuses to mount the disk because it says there's an error in the disk table...then it "fixes" the error and still refuses to mount the disk because the same error still exists. The only option is to completely reformat the M6; that works fine until you upgrade the firmware on the player; then you're back to square one.

Grrrrrr.

Adding insult to injury, simply connecting the M6 to the MacBook does something bad that prevents the M6 from 'seeing' the music files when you press play. You can still look in the folders (through the Music folder and the Browser folder) and everything still exists; you just can't use any of it.

As I sit here next to my old-school iBook running OS 9.2.2, I can confirm that the M6 works just the way you'd expect - I can even "fix" the disappearing file problem, but it's awfully complicated to manage music files on a separate computer.

I love Macs - they do what they're supposed to and they're nice to look at, which is the exact opposite of Windows PC's - but I gotta say, this is really working my nerves.
