For example, you can’t add OGG to iTunes, let alone syncing them to iPhone. Waltr however has the built-in converter which is able to automatically analyze your music file and convert it to iPhone friendly format on the fly. You won’t even realize your source music is in a format that can’t be imported or played on iPhone.
