[QUOTE="thedoc, post: 1096937, member: 168580"] Just so I'm clear, are you asking if it is possible to get your external hard drive to appear as an iPod in iTunes? If that is the case the answer is not without an extreme amount of hackery. A while ago Palm tried it with their Palm Pre, what they did was to give the Pre a similar USB Vendor Id to an iPod, alongside some cunning XML files. You can read about it [url=http://nanocr.eu/2009/05/28/syncing-music-and-video-to-the-palm-pre/]here[/url]. My advice would be to look into the program Double Twist which will do media syncing between portable media players, or hard drives!
