I was searching Apple's site to see if other Mp3 Players were still supported in iTunes (that aren't the iPod) and I couldn't find any supporting documentation on it. Don't get me wrong, I love my iPod and I have two of them, but I am picking up a Sony Ericsson K750i and have a large memory stick for it and was wondering if it would be able to show up in iTunes so I can drag and drop songs onto it.

Well, it won't just show a memory stick in a reader, but it does still have plugins for non-iPod players. (For example, The Missing Sync provided a plugin for my CliƩ to show up as an MP3 player in the Source column.)

Tooki - do you know if the missing sync can do the same for my new cell phone?

It won't -- it's device-specific. Unless Mark/Space makes a version of the Missing Sync for your phone (I don't think they do) they can't help. I was just using it as an example.

You know you can just mount the memory card in a card reader and drag songs from the iTunes window to the card, right in the Finder?

No I didn't know that iTunes interacted with the Finder like that. That sounds good to me. I'm assuming when you drag out of the library that the song is copied to the memory card and not moved, correct?

Also do you know how my phone (or any phone for that matter) connected via USB to the computer will interact with iPhoto?
