PS3, iPod, and iTunes
iPod connectivity - Ability to to connect the iPod to the PS3 and play it’s music through the PS3 to your stereo or other audio playback devices. Will also provide some graphical effects on your TV during playback
iTunes linkup - Access iTunes and your music through the PS3. Purchase and download additiona tracks through the PS3. Wirelessly play iTunes music from your PC/Mac through the PS3
Sync support - Use the PS3 to sync your iPod with iTunes, no need for a PC or Mac to sync and add/remove tracks and organize playlists.
Apple may also be helping Sony with some UI design for the PS3 dashboard interface.
I don’t care about purchasing tracks through iTunes, because I buy my CD’s and rip them. But all the other features sound cool.
Any bets on the probability of this rumour being true?
Not to take the discussion to the shotbox, but come on..? Nobody likes all games, its that simple. Some like the mother, other like the daughter 
Keep your "hate-articles" coming, Gary!

Xbox 360 has already this feature built in, not the downloading part but the playing the ipod library through the console. And it’s very nice! Just stick a dock on the game station and getting home you just release your pod on the dock, grab your remote control and boom you’re navigating with ease in your music library.

Sony & Apple working together on iPod/iTunes connectivity? Yeah right. If Apple was to do something like this, they would help MS and its X360 for simple fact that MS has more to offer Apple than Sony could. Apple NEEDS MS Office and other support; they would not jeopardize this relation by doing something so stupid.
Besides, Apple isn’t the kind of company that would do something like this. They want to keep everything in a closed linear structure.

I must agree with Black Guy. It sound (however cool it would be) not likely that Apple would allow Sony to use iTunes.
Another thing to crash this roumour is that Sony allready has its own online music store, Sony Connect. -To put iTunes into PS3 would NOT help Sony Connect much…

Don’t 4get that Sony has 800 “iPod killers” on the market that r not officially compatible w/ iTunes.

i have a ps3, i know how to play songs on it through my ipod, but how do you sync your ipod to itunes through ps3? and what is the order that ps3 puts your songs in, with all of the different groups with random songs in it when you go to your music?

hey guys, can you tell me how to play my ipod on my ps3. I have a regular 20gb ipod. I put it in with my plug i use to recharge it but it says there arent any files found or whatever. Im assuming I need a special cord or something. Thanks guys
March 1st, 2007 at 10:12 am
Try hitting the triangle button and telling your PS3 that you want to see ALL files.

if you just copy the folder all the music is in to the ps3 hard drive then sort your music by artist or album then boom you got it all right there in order, i just wish you could browse the internet or do anything else while music is playing… maybe in time
March 5th, 2007 at 4:00 am
it also keeps your album art if you have an ipod color or video. i think ipod color has album art i don’t know i have video

so i’ve been playing with it for the last half hour and noticed that while most tracks are ok some appear with names like QUQT. so i would like to amend my first comment because of the ipod’s strange file system. sorry
April 28th, 2007 at 2:30 am
while listening to music files on your PS3, just press the PS-button. Now you can watch a slideshow or browse the net while the music’s playing… there ya go

July 27th, 2007 at 3:52 pm
my ipod is configured for use with my mac. when i try to connect the ipod to my ps3, the ps3 does not recognize it. I am going under the “music” icon, connecting the ipod, then click, “search for media servers.” Am I doing something wroing? please help me
July 27th, 2007 at 4:01 pm
The iPod is not a media server.
When you connect the iPod to your PS3 with the USB cable, it should show up as an available device to browse. If you can’t see the music on it, hit Triangle and select “Show all files” or something like that.
August 26th, 2007 at 10:39 am
hey donni, the copy option isnt available when ur playing a song at the same time, so stop/ pause the song and it will light again.

HEY BLACK GUY…. IF YOU WATCH TV YOUD SEE THE APPLE VS MICROSOFT COMMERCIALS. ” IM A mac, AND IM A pc”. YEA I DONT SEE THEM HELPING EACHOTHER OUT… gET YOUR STUFF RIGHT

The way around the whole itunes thing is to while in itunes, back up your library
to dvds, then transfer them to your ps3.
easiest way to get your tunes over to the system. The ps3 reads the dvd as a “Data Disk” Go over to music and open the data disc and there are all your songs. One reason this works is because the ps3 can read AAC format.
