I had a problem syncing my contact and calendar after downloading a non-tagged MP3 file. As you cannot delete any song from your Library only with your iphone, this is dangerous. Even turning Music syncing on again did not solve the problem. Every time the Syncapp did lock up. So even if the software is great, beware and sync everything you would need before downloading a file. I had to restore my phone.
