Zusammenfassung:Arrangements are provided which use a host computer (30) to configure a wireless portable device's network connection parameters. The radio (162) on the portable device (20) may be used to help locate (212,214) nearby accessible wireless networks. Once a synchronization relationship between the portable device (20) and a media library on a host computer (30) is established, periodically updated content, such as podcasts, may be discovered and subscribed to using software on the host computer (30), and the content synchronized (244,246) with the host computer (30). A portable device (20) may manage (252) episodic content, such as podcasts, using the device's own wireless connection, and may further send (258) such content to other portable devices (20). A central user profile may be set up on a web server to synchronize (278,286) multiple wireless or wired devices.
