Following the steps below will allow you to sync your music from MediaMonkey to your device while allowing you to continue to use iTunes to sync your picture and video without interfering with any of your music files.

Album art and lyrics will be synced correctly for all iPod versions that support those features, and ratings as well as playcounts should be synced back to your MM database when Auto-synchronization is used.

This guide was written using an iPhone as an example but it is mainly the same for other iPods, although there are different plugins depending on your iPod model. Any differences will be explained in more detail later on.

UPDATE: The above "hack" is no longer necessary. You can install the needed drivers for your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad by using the Copy Trans Drivers Installer. It is a free product from the makers of Copy Trans Manager, and it can be found here:

WARNING: If using the CopyTrans Drivers Installer product with any iTunes installer from version 10.5 upwards then you will need to install Quicktime manually (if it isn't already installed on your system), without Quicktime installed the MediaMonkey iPod/iPhone plugin will not operate correctly. From iTunes 10.5 onwards Apple no longer bundles Quicktime as part of the iTunes installer (see for details). As of V1.013 the Copytrans Drivers Installer product does not warn you if it cannot find/install Quicktime from the iTunes installer set being used.

This is the most configurable part of the syncing process. Depending on your iPod model, you may or may not want to sync all of your music/podcasts/audiobooks. Decide what you want to sync to your iPod and review each tab to make sure your settings are correct. You can use filters, sync music only from playlists, sync all of your music, or sync a random selection of music up to the device capacity (if you have enough music).
