Ok, I had a look at that stuff, and I'm completely at a loss to
understand most of what is there. Looks like I need to start learning
some python. Is there any generous soul around that could give me a
bit of a newbie-friendly basic description of how to achieve what i'm
after.

OK. I have attached a small script that uses conduit-client to acomplish what you want. I think.... I am running conduit from SVN, and its got a lot of additional bugs at the moment.. making it hard to test.

The script will need tweaking a bit. Basically setup a sync using the conduit gui and save it. Then have a look at the configuration file in ~/.conduit/settings-dev.xml for the relevant configuration for you phone.

This should give you enough info to modify the attached scrip to fit your needs. From then on you should be able to run the script when your phone is near, and conduit should sync stuff like magic.

Basically conduit-client is used to configure and start syncs using conduit remotely. If you are running conduit 0.3.4 then conduit client should have been installed. You can try it by typing

conduit-client -l

or

conduit-client -h

for help.

Good luck, and let me know how you get on

Apologies for my ignorance, I am a music student after all and suppose
it's to be expected.
Cheerio all,
