Holiday Music - Rock Around the Tree

-  Users of non-iTunes-friendly phones get a "social-networking" way to
get access
to their playlists on the go.  nuTsie doesn't download your songs from
iTunes, but matches the names of the songs in your playlists to
those in its own database. Then it streams the actual music from its
server.  It gives access to your songs and also
friends' playlists and those compiled by nuTsie's own
"experts." It costs $4.99 a month or $19.99 a year.

Note:  BlackBerry has updated their media sync program. There is now a preview version for MAC OS.
