![]() None of them are ones I’ve opened before so the music app wasn’t aware of until now, but having the playlist tells the music app they’re there. I had thought that syncing the playlists themselves would work as a database. I imagine that’d be more so the music player app, but that’d mean it’d have to be able to utilize the same database the syncing app uses. I’ve found programs that sync iTunes to Android (MusicBee, iSyncr, doubleTwist, etc), but none that make use of a database on the Android side for discovery. ITunes fulfills half this process, but solving it for Android’s side is the hard part, both for syncing and discovery, if you do use iTunes.ĭoes anyone have obvious solutions I’m missing for this? Android having to discover the songs are there by scanning its own music directory.Managing the playlist for syncing on Windows in most programs feels like using very old software.Sync time when 1 change is made in a 10,000+ item list due to scanning for changes rather than using a database.The problems that have come up when trying to do this on Android are the following: Create playlists in library manager program of those songs.Dump music into directory that the library manager program can see.When I add a playlist in iTunes, it propagates into the doubleTwist. The goal is to make the process this simple: doubletwist file on the root level of all media. We’re talking over ten thousand items with many 100+ song playlists. I’ve seen people having issues with extremely large music libraries on Android. So any form of discovery isn’t needed on either side except when iTunes looks in the folders for songs, but then it just adds them to its database. Go to for more information, screen shots, videos and to download the software.My wild guess as to how Apple does it is that they have iTunes produce a database of synced songs and push that database to the phone, which uses the same database. The software isn’t perfect by any means just yet and the bugs will put some people off, but I think this is really good and makes using the phone as a portable media player much more user friendly. The media is also resized automatically when importing so the quality is reduced, and even though this allows you to put more on to your phone, an option to choose the quality size would be good. Perhaps the most annoying thing for me is that the media is sometimes put into alphabetical order or even a random order, as far as I can tell, which messes up the running order of albums–an option to change this would go down well. If you use iTunes then this will be very familiar to you, although the navigation could do with some improvement. There are plenty of other features, such as importing from YouTube. I would recommend spending a bit of time with the software to get the most out of it. When I did my initial synching with my PC’s media it also imported my iTunes playlists, which was nice as I didn’t have to re-do them if I wanted to use them. Has a little bug that prevents me to give it 5 stars which deserves. I’m able to create playlists, radios and more. Just remember to select the playlists to sync and then click “sync†once you make changes. Love the app, everything you need to keep your music organized accesos devices. Add an item to the playlist and it transfers it to your phone remove an item from the playlist and it removes it from your phone. ![]() Once you have set your playlists up you then sync the chosen playlists to the phone and hey presto, it syncs the changes to those playlists. ![]() ![]() This is done by right clicking the media and choosing “Add to Playlist†and the the playlist you want to send it to. When it came to managing media I created 3 playlists (G1 Music, G1 Pics and G1 Videos) and sent the relevant media I wanted to transfer to my phone to each of those playlists through doubleTwist. The navigation can be a bit of a pain and the whole experience can be a bit slow now and then but this is still a beta release and should expect some teething problems. This can take some time if you have a lot of media but once it has done it you then have access to all of it from within the software. Once you install doubleTwist, you point it in the direction of your music, pictures and videos on your PC/Mac where it scans those locations. ![]()
