Like most android phones it will most likely be drag and drop. But if you want to sync your music their are some great options you can use double twist, or you can use winamp (which has free wifi syncing) and who knows how many others. Your phone as always will be sync with google services calender, gmail, etc.

Umm USB Mass Storage?
When does an Android come with Syncing software?
Unless by Galaxy Nexus you mean iPhone and my sync software out mean iTunes.

Nexus phones usually don't have that kind of software since the things you would want to sync are synced to your Google account using the internet anyway.
In my opinion, syncing with a computer is something that shouldn't be necessary anymore and it isn't for most things.

When ICS was announced, Matias Duarte detailed that Chrome Bookmarks will sync with the browser as a part of the software. No drag and drop/sync needed.

Android phones don't require a Syncing software. Basically syncing is an option. With an Android you can literally own the phone for years without ever needing to connect it to a computer. Everything from apps to upgrades do not require a computer. When you download an app from the Android market on your desktop/laptop it does not require you to connect your phone, it installs the application for you downloading over the air.
Edit: Android was meant to be an accessible OS. That meant that no strings would be needed. The idea of android was to be able to create one OS that could run on multiple devices of different classes. This would mean being distributed in countries where computers where computers are not accessible. Android does not require a computer allowing it to be sold in markets where competing phone OSs do not have a chance.

How do you get music from your computer to the phone if it isn't connected ?

Stream it from the internet or do what I do and push it over your home network with adbWireless

I have unlimited data no problem for me I also use google beta and paid pandora and hardly use my own music on my phone but for people that don't have unlimited data your going to have to connect to get that music synced so is it drag and drop for this or is it some software ? connection required

Drag and drop. Android always has been and hopefully always will be. There's nothing more annoying and unnecessary than sync software.

Well I don't expect someone to try to but it is more then possible to use an Android device without connecting it to a computer at any point in its life. If you want music you can download it from a cloud storage like Amazon or Music beta.
...I think for the first month of owning my Galaxy Nexus I will not connect it to my computer at all. 10gb data in one month.

That will be cool..

The way I have my Google Music set up:
- I installed the Google Music software on to my computer and have it configured to sync all my music
- I have iTunes so when I download new music it syncs automatically with Google Music.
Sorry, still no connection required
P.S. If you don't have iTunes, Google Music will sync with specific folders on your computer.

How does this not require a connection?
The Google Music Beta software syncs music on your computer to the cloud, you'll still need to use bandwidth on your phone to get the music from the cloud to the phone. Unless you drag and drop your iTunes music folder to the phone, or use yet another piece of software to sync music from iTunes to your phone.

Not sure what you mean...
1) Android phones don't use or need syncing software. You just USB mass storage and drag-n-drop files into the phone
2) if it did come with software, how would we EVER know? The phone doesn't exist in the wild yet...

yeah I use bandwidth by streaming using the Google Music app. By Connection I thought he was talking about a physical connection (USB).

[Q] Wireless syncing options?

I know of Klies for syncing files but with my Mac, the only option I have is to see the files from my phone and upload them to my computer but I cannot add files to the phone through Klies.
I was wondering, besides connecting my phone to a USB or taking out my battery and using the MicroSD is there a wireless way for me to sync my music/photos/videos/etc to the Galaxy S2 (through the phone or any other APPS)? I also have a Mac so that might be a thing to know as well.
Also, any apps or is there any way I can get itunes to sync a playlist to the phone instead of me going through all my music files one by one and dragging it into a folder to sync with the S2?
Thank you XDA.

Wow, someone actually likes syncing with iTunes instead of just dragging the files into a folder.
Easiest way would be to use Google Music beta and just sync your music with the cloud, always have access to everything from the cloud. Downsides are everything cloud-related. I understand it can cache things on wifi to keep data usage down, but still not as convenient as having it on the SD.
I also hear that Winamp can sync up your library, but I have no experience with that.

Try the market app iSyncr WiFi and iSyncr for mac.
They used to be only so-so but now there awesome
My only pc is a 27in IMac so I've had to deal with this many times with mobile and iSyncr wins

[Q] How do you sync your music (Itunes?) with the Galaxy Nexus with this MTP stuff?

Just got the Galaxy Nexus today (LTE). Huge upgrade from my LG touch. When I wanted to sync my music with my LG, I just had a single playlist in Itunes and I used Itunes Agent (now called notpod). Put the phone into mass storage mode, pointed Notpod to the Music folder on the SD card, done. Synced no problems.
So that was the first thing I tried with my Nexus, no luck. The "Ok" button would just blank out once I entered the Galaxy Nexus file tree. I started reading up on MTP and realized it wouldn't work with Notpod.
I realized that Win 7 didn't install the MTP drivers or something, as I had an unknown device in devmgmt. I grabbed the Samsung driver out of a root pack. Installed it, then the unknown driver went away.
I came across the Media Monkey thread on this forum about media monkey, but I didn't exactly want to hijack a thread or anything (even though I posted a response ). Someone said that you can use doubletwist and it would work fine. But it doesn't for me. When its in MTP mode, it tells me to put it in USB mode, and when its in PTP mode, it doesn't do anything. :/ I like how doubletwist scans itunes every time you open it, so syncing won't be a pain in the ass, but it doesn't want to work with me. D:
I have a little work around for right now, I used Notpod and had it sync with a folder on my computer (even though it reminds you like 10 times not to do this, lol ) then I just copied everything in that folder and dropped it on my phone in MTP mode. I will not settle for this, its like syncing twice, which is rather annoying.
Please, someone, help me out. I'm like a windows Vet, but a Android Noob. Adjust vocab as needed.

I use Google Music. It syncs iTunes to the cloud so your music is available everywhere.

iTunes Sync with DoubleTwist

Hi guys, I've just learned that the Note 2 doesn't offer exclusive access to the partition, hence no mass storage mode when connected over USB. My issue right now is syncing with iTunes via DoubleTwist still goes through as a "Generic Device" but I cannot see the music anywhere on my phone, either through both my music players (Jet Audio/DoubleTwist) or physically in a file.
Any ideas or suggestions of where to find this music would be appreciated.

Turns out it never synced in the end. Got Airsync and worked out beautifully after needing to get my computer to sync through though I will try isyncr to compare.

If there are any issues with iSyncr USB or WiFi, please contact me at [email protected]. Would be happy to help with anything that is going on with our application.
Take it easy.

This new iTunes sync app just came out called 'iThink", check it out.

[Q] Seriously, Can Anybody actually Sync Playlists on this Phone???

I mean this is ridiculous that a top tier phone is so difficult (impossible) to sync playlists on, I am also pretty knowledgable regarding digital music, phones, and computers and still cannot get this working after months. Using MTP i can occasionally get ONE playlist to sync using winamp but when i try to do more it will erase the other ones or clear them out. I then got an app that puts my external SD card ino mass storage mode and that almost works but after adding about 20 songs to a playlist only 5 or so actually showed up. Doubletwist does not work. Windows Media player did not work. Using Kies it puts the songs on my phone but not the playlists.
If anybody can actually do this please share how. I used to have a captivate and this was as simple as it should be. So frustrating that i have spent this much time on it and still haven't gotten anywhere.

I just copy music over WiFi with es file explorer. Shared off some folders on my Windows box and I'm good to go

it's not getting the music on there that is the problem it is the actual playlists. I want to be able to go through all my music on my computer and make playlists then transfer them onto my phone and it is damn near impossible.

hm, i never got around to it myself, i just dump all my music on a 64GB MicroSD and there they are, but my mom sync'ed playlists i think with windows media player on my old GS3. MTP mode, debug in developers options ON.

It's more about what program you're using. I personally use isyncr. Though I find it strange that winamp isn't working.

Try "easyphonesync" from the playstore.

i'll check out a couple of the suggestions. It's actually not even so much an issue of 'syncing' the playlists either, more so just being able to transfer them one way from my computer to my phone

+1 for rsync
I shopped around for a couple of weeks for software to sync my playlists AND music. (I'm on Mac OS)
I couldn't find anything better. Give it a shot.
