Is there a program I can use as Itunes, sync it to all the music stored on my PC (even though Apple has rearranged it and taken over)?

iSyncr try that
I using MediaMonkey (http://www.mediamonkey.com/) to sync my music from pc with HOX. It can also sync music from I devices as well.
Thanks guys.
Windows Media Player (Free and built-in to Windows) also works. I actually use WMP to sync to a USB drive that I leave plugged into my computer, and then use FolderSync on my phone to automatically sync with that drive over WiFi.
You could also try Google Music: upload your music collection (free for storing up to 20.000 songs) into the cloud, and download locally on your phone what you want to listen.
Google Music is US only at the moment, but you can find some tutorials on how to use it outside of the US.

I like Double Twist. Very nice interface on the Android app, with the added bonus of serving as an airplay source, so I can stream music and video from the One X to my XBMC setup via wifi. The desktop app is quite simple, but has wifi sync and a number of other good features.
From what I know the closest (aside from the ones mentioned above) application to iTunes is DoubleTwist
use mediamonkey with playerpro on the device, then, using the sync back ratings extension in MM, you can accurately record plays, skips and ratings back to MM. you can then build smart playlists to exclude tracks you have skipped many times and have the device sync'd to that playlist.
How about an App that fools Itunes into thinking the X is an iPod? I guess that's impossible lol
use notpod. im using it with my one x to itunes. works a treat
Doubletwist products are on sale on the market right now

I tried Notpod, it was overly complicated. Doubletwist cured my ills in seconds
I stick with Media Monkey to,i think is the best out there at this moment (i even forgot about winamp since i am using MM).
I use my ipod to play music in my car's head unit...is there an app and cable that enables me to use my phone instead, including album art?
I use doubletwist with air sync. In my opinion itunes is one of the most hideous programs ever written.

Hell yeah, i hate it with a passion, so pointlessly complicated.
I know it's an old thread, but I've just decided to make that jump too, so tried MediaMonkey and found its layout to be out of date and unhelpful as well as ugly, just trying Double twist now.

Well that didn't last long, in the 4 years since this thread, Double Twist only works in tandem with iTunes not as a replacement. So the search continues....

Why not try something universal like Syncthing if you want to run the service via wifi?
Or FreeFileSync or DirSync Pro if you prefer using the usb cable.
In perfect conditions you should get max 300mps = 37.5 MB/s via wifi versus via usb 480mps = 60 MB/s.
You don't need the library support that Itunes give you. Android supports file managing. Most media player apps support both library view with metadata from either .cue etc or embedded in the file, and file folder view.

i have been really torn of late as to wether or not to keep my desire over my samsung omnia 7. The killer feature on the omnia is the zune music player and the ability to have an acount and download whatever albums i like etc.
Is there such an app or service that is similar to zune that will give me the same functions. I.e to be able to download whatever music and albums i want to the phone for a set monthly payment.
I know its possible to link my phone to i-tunes etc but then i would have to pay for every album i buy.
suggestions please.
Ps i have downloaded poweramp as my music player and am really happy with that. Just need the means to download my songs to the phone now.
I have also tried to use my zune account with all my music on it and transfer the songs to my desire but due to drm it dosent work. Anyone have a work around for this? If so this could solve the problem as i would stick with my zune account.
thanks
Power Amp. BY FAR!

yeah i have that and agree its a great music player
i need however suggestions as to a good music service that allows me to download albums etc to my phone and whereby i pay like a monty subscription.
Just skip the monthly fee and use tunee music or music junk.
RootedHTCDesireZ
I use spotify. It's great!!
by far, power amp is the best mainly coz it has great equalizer setup, but if sync matters more, then double twist is a good option two.
me, i use power amd in tandem with the double twist desktop software. no air sync, but still works great.

mort player, hands down. not only does it have a good user interface but is heavily customizable and doesn't rely on android to create a file list. for me it was being able to do an A - Z folder list to sort my music bypassing sorting like "genre" and "year".
Best Combo for free music: Transdroid linked to uTorrent. Download the music to a specific media folder on your computer from your phone. Then have Subsonic set up on your PC as well as your phone as a music server. That's what works for me.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/*tunewiki-social-media-player*/com.tunewiki.lyricplayer.android
use tune wiki.
as for your songs on zune just find the path where its downloaded. btw if you want to access your zune libray via my computer, use "Show hidden folders" option.
If you already have a great music collection subsonic is hands down a must have on any android device. I can get any of my 63 gigs of music anywhere in the world. You can either stream it or download songs/albums to your phone. As far as music player I just use stock cm6 (music mod) with dsp settings handling the equalizer. Gets the jib done for me. Doubletwist now has wifi sync as well as winamp. Just play with a bunch of them and decide which works for you

Poweramp is definitely NOT the best.
PlayerPro is much much much better
Sent from my HTC Vision
In my opinion, Winamp is teh best. But @ best this is subjective.
Give Winamp, Poweramp, Mort, 3^2 (Cubed) player a try.
These are the "big" music players that I know of.
gingerbread apparently has a pretty sweet music function that allows you to sync with your home pc's music library. Sounds pretty sweet but there's a ton of free music apps out there on the market (most likely legal issues involved) but I just google an mp3 when I want one.
Anyone remember imusic tao before it disappeared? That thing was killer. Sadly I paid for it and it was removed about a month later.
If what your looking for is a subscription music service that you can download to the phone is would try rhapsody. I think it's like 9.99 a month and you can dl any track they have or stream as well. I've had the service for years and I love it.

Didn't it just get renamed to "GTunes Music"? That's the app I use currently and it looks exactly like imusic used to.

I use winamp as well. I have an iTouch for my music though, I just keep what I use for ringtones on my phone. Happy hunting.
Of the market.. its between Winamp or power amp.. I like power amp better because of the equalizer.. but now that I'm running sense on my g2.. I like the stock music player.. so I uninstalled the both I mentioned and I'm using the HTC desire z stock music player really nice...

In the past I've used iSyncr to handle iTunes transfers over to my Galaxy S2.
Will this app still work with the Nexus?
If not, how are you guys getting your iTunes playlists/music onto the Galaxy Nexus?
I use iSyncr WiFi, works fine

My Sync is said to work well too. Though I have not personally tried this function on it. I use it for WiFi backup.

+1 on that Google Music is what made me pull the trigger on buying a 16gb nexus. I no longer need tons of space on a phone to hold all my music!
I just gave up on iTunes syncing. I hated Doubletwist, so now I just drag and drop. I also spend less time with my music library because of Spotify. Also, check out Salling Media Sync. Its available in the Mac App Store. Its expensive, but I've heard good things about it.

Same. Been using for months. Its awesome.
Can't use Google music in the OK. Very dissapointing!
i use subsonic on my linux server instead
Just to add my tuppence
Being a recent convert to the Android fold (brand new GN - still awaiting update ), and having used iTunes/iPhone for too long, I felt the need to find an app that would let me sync iTunes playlists.
I tried a shed-load of apps; doubletwist was pure crap (IMHO) and not worth the effort, WinAmp might "really whip the llama's ass" but didn't "really know how to sync a playlist" well enough to warrant me keeping it.
I then found iSyncr and the WiFi plugin and these did exactly what they said they would, seamlessly and effortlessly. The free version would only sync 30 tracks per playlist so the paltry price they were asking for it seemed worth it to me.
As for the Google Music point... not available to UK users yet but there is a very simple workaround, just waiting to set this up on my phone.
I second the Subsonic recommendation. It's been around for a while, use it on my phone, browser, wife's iphone.
It does what Google Music does, but you have more control and I believe it does video too. It definitely isn't as easy to setup and use as GM though, so a big caveat there.
iSyncR WiFi sync didn't work for me. I then used DoubleTwist Air Sync to sync. Worked well. The playlists are recognized by PowerAmp, so all is good (as I dislike the DoubleTwist player).
hey, i used iSyncR too, but a lot of songs in the playlists are missing (not only the bought ones) and some pictures are not at the right songs. that really sucks. you may have an alternetive for me? in germany google music is not available now;( besides you always need a good connection for streaming.
thx for answers
Hey all,
I'm looking for some way to sync my GN with iTunes for quite a while now, but I haven't been able to find anything that matches my wishes.
The program must be able to do as following:
Sync regular music / playlists etc. Selectable per song
Sync podcasts. Must be selectable per podcast, not per podcast producer!! [*Note]
No limitations to the amount of music / podcasts synchronized.
Preferably a free program, because I don't know how long I'll be using it for and I don't want to pay a lot for something I barely used.
Now here are some more problems:
For the people who say I should stop using iTunes and use winamp or something similar: Please stop trying to change peoples preferences (advice is always appreciated though). I've tried every possible music player around, but iTunes just is the best when it comes to podcasts and having a lot of playlists. (In my opinion that is)
I'm from the Netherlands, so Google Music unfortunately isn't an option.
If anybody has a suggestion, I'm more then willing to try it out, I'm really frustrated about this by now.
/Tim
[*Note] Hereby I mean I want to be able to select podcasts as following: Podcasts 1, 5 and 6 by producer A. Podcasts 2, 7 and 45 by producer B. I've seen a lot of programs which only enable you to sync the last .... per producer, or the last .... which you haven't listened to yet. I want to be able to select them individually.

Try Double Twist, certainly does the job for me. But you're gonna have to use the Air sync function for the GNex. It's what I use to sync my playlists and the likes to my phone. Works like it should!

I tried that as well, but the free version of that one also has quite some limitations. If I really had to pay, I'd pick iSync for PC, but I'd rather have a free one of course.

I've been meaning to put some music onto my Note 2 running JellyBomb, but I don't really know what music program to use on my phone and PC (windows 8). For example, the google music app, the default music players, or possibly a music player in the play store. So just wondering, what program is everyone using on their Desktop that's similar to iTunes in organization to sync music to their phones? I tried using android apps that sync iTunes to android devices, but they don't really show the album artwork in the apps. Thanks in advance for any input/advice.

I'm using media monkey. Looks like iTunes but works with Android. Installs on windows, creates libraries, play lists, imports just about all music formats as well as converting to most popular formats. Manages your video, rips and burns CDs. Can act as a media manager both local or across a loan. Too much to mention. Just Google media monkey.

I used Google Music. It's may not be quite feature rich as others such as iTunes or Zune. It works well on the phone. You can listen to music just on the device or everything on the device and uploaded to the cloud. They will even play songs not on either, if set for all songs. It also has a subscription service.
The music player is pretty plain, which is fine with me. Most people who like stuff like Beats just like how it increases the bass, which also increases distortion. But one can find music by artist, album, genre and so forth.
If you're just looking to play on the device and want more features, PowerAmp is very good choice and cheap.

+1 for Media Monkey. If you Google and install a developmental release, you can WiFi sync with the app in the play store. No media manager is as robust as media monkey and I have tried them all.

I also want to endorse Media Monkey. It's great for all of the things mentioned above and all of the great plugins you can customize it the way you like. The Discogs tagger is my fave.
I couldn't find anything posted already, and just wanted to know if there is a list of supported files types with the Moto 360. All my music is in lossless format at the moment and wanted to see what format I would need for syncing to the device itself. I have scoured google several times for an answer, but have ever found one myself. Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks =)
Its based on gMusic so presumably the support should be the same.
There is no music or video stored on the watch it is used as a remote to whatever audio or video player that you use on your phone

Wrong, any music you download on the Google Play Music app on the phone can be uploaded to the Watch. (tick the "Download to Android Wear" in the Google Play Music settings)
