Supported Media Players, Formats
and Metadata Information
SYNC is capable of hosting nearly any
digital media player, including iPod,
Zune ™, plays from device players, and

descriptive software identifiers embedded
in the media files, provide information
about the file.
If your indexed media files contain no

tags, SYNC may classify the empty
metadata tags as unknown.
