How to Send Music From My Mac to My Blackberry

Owners once in love with each system quickly left the honeymoon phase as the frustration grew out of lack of compatibility. Research In Motion (RIM) finally came to the rescue. With the release of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager for the Mac, RIM made it quite easy to sync not only your contacts and calendars, but your music collection as well.
