Synchronize multiple iTunes libraries with Syncopation

A lot of us have more than one iTunes library, and those that do know how much of a pain it can be to keep those different libraries in sync. I for one, have had many instances in which I’d be looking for a particular song, only to remember that “ahh, it’s on my other computer!”. Lame.
Syncopation from Sonzea aims to automate the process of iTunes synchronization. It will let you clone a full library on two machines, or selectively sync both your video and audio files via iTunes playlists or within the application itself. This should be handy if you want to keep an automatically updated chunk of your music on a Mac portable with limited hard drive space.
Unfortunately, Syncopation isn’t free and will set you back $24.95. A demo is available for download, however, and if anyone in reader land has any experience with this program or other ones like it, please let us know.

Will this program also sync podcasts?
Wow, I've been looking for something like this for years now. I wonder how well it works...
I tried this a while back. As I recall it really didn't like the fact that I used the same username on both my desktop and my PowerBook. Hopefully they fixed that, seems like something a lot of people would do.
