[Q] Good iTunes Sync with Rooted Evo

Hello,
I have been looking around, but cant seem to find the answer to my seemingly unique situation.
I have rooted my evo using the Unrevoked Forever / ClockworkMod method.
In these instructions, it said to remove any sync software such as the htc sync or doubletwist.
I now want to be able to sync with iTunes, so what would be a good suggestion to do this? I liked the iPhone i had from work where when I synced, it would keep track of where i was in a podcast and go back to / start up from where i left off on the computer or on the device. This along with the management of my music would be great to have.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

TuneSync, in Market free version and paid version (worth $5 if you ask me)... But I'm pretty sure you're gonna get the "This belongs in Q&A section" from a few.

...expecting it
but with the all the rooting questions and such in here, I figure it may be a better place to ask.
The mod can move if it necessary.

If you're just looking for something that syncs, you may wanna try winamp. it pulls in tracks from your iTunes library, and has a ton of good functions. Plus, it syncs via wifi. I was looking for an iTunes sync, but when i came across it, i liked it better for the evo. Now, iTunes is relegated strictly to my iPod. Hope that helps.

I use isyncr.

Yep, it works. I've been using it for months now.
**Had no idea about WinAmp though. May try that one out. Thanks Uk!**

I use iTunes Agent and could not be happier with it. It loads all of my music in my iTunes library (including purchased songs) onto my Evo. Google iTunes Agent to find the download the program uses your computer and any music application on your phone. No root required.

Isyncr and album art grabber. It works wonderfully. I've been using it with my Evo since July

I'm using doubleTwist with AirSync (WiFi syncing add-on), works pretty well, and can access my music with the stock Sense player

I have heard Isyncr was good and iSyncher wifi, syncs wirelessly, if I am not mistaken.

+1 on this one.

iSyncer seems to work well, but it doesnt retain where in a podcast I am at when I pause and exit the application.
It also doesnt update the location I am at on the computer to the phone.
The podcasts are long that i listen to and would like to be able to stop it on my computer, sync, and then pick up on the phone in my car without having to fast forward to, or have to know, where i left off.

don't know dude, I just liked the app so thought of sharing it...btw I found the app in xperia x10 forums

you have to be part of the beta before the app offers you the beta services.
Sign up on music.google.com
but you have to be in the USA...unless you...erm...use a proxy...or vpn... but I am not telling you to do that
It might take several weeks before you get your invite though.

I signed up to the beta and registered via a vpn but have been using it recently through my normal UK IP. It seems to be working pretty nicely so far

I signed up for the Beta the same day it was annouced/offered and didn't get my invite until June 2, so don't give up yet.

How is this one different than the android market version?
Im guessing for those outside the US, but thought I'd ask.

in this app, i get duplicates
i have a few songs on my phone and also on my cloud that are the same.
is there any way to view only songs stored on cloud?
because i'd also like to keep some songs local.
it has the option to view offline music available,
im looking for an option to display only "online songs" ( cloud)

off topic, but facebook for android is updated and is available in market

Got it two weeks ago, uploaded almost 15.000 songs and mixes already. Pretty awesome, songs play almost instantly and completely load over 3g in like 10/15 seconds.

Can confirm you only need a USA IP for actually signing in and agreeing to music manager then installing the app.
After that your normal IP will work with it.
Currently uploading my tunes to it, and working well
Loads quickly via 3G as well, quite handy having access to your library from anywhere.

I don't think you need a USA IP at all. I requested an invitation with a Google Account where the country was set to "UK" and received one weeks ago. I sign into music.google.com using the same account in the UK and have no issues.
YMMV.

I am still trying to find out how I can let Google Music download the Offline content to my external_sd card instead of the internal.
Where is google storing those music files now? Any idea.
Was anybody able to set a song as a ringtone that has been put as offline content?

dropbox

Just flashed my first rom and noticed Dropbox in app drawer,read up on it and it sounds really cool app especially for pics. would like to here a little more about it from the ones who have or use it.

Ummm, what do you want to hear? It's a cloud syncing app, it does what it says. I personally like Box.net over Dropbox, but to each his own.

Why is that? Box.net's lack of desktop client and filesize limitation I find extremely annoying.

i live by dropbox

I use both just for the hell of it. And I jumped on box during the 50gb deal

Dropbox is really only limited to what you can think to do with it. One of the more novel uses I came up with for it is to "sync" my game saves from my EVO to my Nook so I don't have to replay levels of Castlevania on Gameboid.
Try it out and make your own decisions.

I do the same thing with a couple of save states. Also, over box.net, I believe the limit how long your links are active and the file size after X amount of time. I looked into it, and those 'catches' made me not use it.
Also, i some how have 8.5gb of free space...don't know how that happened..lol.

True, I forgot about that. I use box more often because I have 50gb of space with them. Dropbox is better for larger files, but I only have 2.5gb with them, so it's basically only good for one or two large files. The lack of desktop syncing with Box doesnt bother me, as I just use the browser to upload. Both have apps for phones/tablets, which both seem to work very well.

That is such a great idea!!! I never thought about doing that, I always had to manually move my emerald save file. I personally keep all of my school work in dropbox so i can work on it on my phone, or print it out at school if I forget to print it at home.

Three words explain dropbox: Its the Shizz

Dropbox is pretty cool. Its my preferred tool to move stuff from 1 PC to another without using USB's, sharing stuff with friends, and moving from phone to PC

Skydrive offers 25GB Free Storage (Limited Offer)

I use Sky drive a lot more than dropbox since I have Windows 8 the intergration is good. Today they are offering a free upgrade to 25GB of Cloud storage. Just login to Skydrive select Claim your 25 GB and click on Free Upgrade. Done
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/skydrive/loyalty

Don't all wp7 owners get 25 Gb anyway. Thought that was normal or am I missing something?
Sent from my Radar 4G using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Well yeah the title is a little bit misleading.
SkyDrive used to offer 25GB for every user for free, but today they decreased that to only 7GB because over 99% use less than 7GB (and that is still more than Dropbox offers).
However, if you have been a user in the past and already use more than 7GB you will get to keep your free 25GB. If you do not use more than 7GB of the service you have to sign in and go to manage storage, from there you can get a free upgrade to 25GB for the time being.

Also as a side note if you made a account after April 1st you will not get the free upgrade. For New WP users they had to April 22, if you already had more than 7gb on SkyDrive you will be automatically keep the old 25GB storage amount. Now I would advise people to go hit up your old hotmail accounts and click that free upgrade.

Thanks
The title is a bit misleading and maybe think about changing it , but you are correct and thanks for the information. just took advantage of the free upgrade

Already dropping my Dropbox! (did you catch that?? hahhahaha)
Anyway, anyone noticed any kind of " show deleted files", or "previous versions"? Dropbox features that, and would be wierd if SkyDrive didnt.

IIRC there is Revision tracking for Office documents. You can see who edited what and revert changes.
I just upgraded my account to 25GB and installed the SkyDrive App on Windows. Now I have automatic synchronization of my documents between SkyDrive, my PC and Lumia 800. Epic

thanks for the info. I use the Skydrive more regular now than i thought.
I have DropBox also... but 2GB doesn't cut it.

yesss... better than my 8GB DropBox
And I also like prices for paid service!!!
p.s. the 7 to 25 GB update is only for accounts that already uses skydrive (or account that used it once)

Thought so. Yet, this is frustrating.. ;/
Edit:
Also, shared files/folders doesnt seem to appear together your own files. That is really bad..

Ok, saw the free upgrade and got it. Thanks for the the heads up, I had no idea they were going t lower it to 7Gb. Thanks op!!

Thanks for this....I've been using skydrive for a long time now but, just for a few documents and some WP7 apps (store their files on it). I was using less than 1gb, but, now I got plenty of space.
Can Zune (on my WP7 phone) stream from there ?

Zune, currently, cannot stream from SkyDrive, but Cloud Music can.

Sync iTunes with Android

I installed a program called iTuneMyWalkman that was supposed to transfer all my iTunes music over to my phone via usb, but instead of syncing, it deleted all the songs I already had on my external SD card!
WTF!!
Is there a reliable program out there that can do this?
Can Google Music do this?
Thanks!

Try DoubleTwist. But you may have to spend a couple bucks for some extra features.

I'll try it. I'm out of thanks for today though.

Also, you could give my app "iSyncr" a try. With it, you don't have to leave iTunes and move to another music player on your computer.
If you run into any issues with it, just shoot me an email using the app, I'm here to help!

I use your app isyncr and isyncr wifi. I can personally vouch that they work 100 percent and are very easy to use. I've even begun to use your music player. Thank you very much for your great apps. They are awesome.
To the O.P., use isyncr. Its worth the price and syncs everything from iTunes you could want.

Going to throw my hat in for iSyncr. Kicks a$$ and worth it. Grab the WiFi add on too also 'just works'. I've tried many, MediaMonkey Gold, DoubleTwist and others. This one rocks.

Could you tell me if isyncer worked for you? Things to help a friend with the same issue on his s3. Thanks!
