Recently doubletwist's desktop app has been horrible. It exports all my playlists from Doubletwist into Itunes and never closes the initial export playlist dialogue. I am looking for a great music player with a great desktop client. Hopefully one that can sync easily with Itunes. I tried Easy Phone Tunes but it does not sync a lot of my iTunes correctly.
Also one preferably where if I delete a song on the android end, it would sync and delete it permenantly on the desktop end

Has anyone had any success with using the HTC Sync to sync music from iTunes? Mine seems to leave a lot of songs out when syncing.
Got any tips and tricks as to how this can work seamlessly? TIA
Dang, no luck...
Do you have songs from when Apple was applying DRM to them? I don't use HTC Synch to synch iTunes playlists. But I have used Doubletwist and iSyncr. Those apps don't synch DRM'ed songs, since they won't play on your Flyer, anyway.
I have tried Media Monkey, Winamp and Double Twist. Media Monkey and Winamp seem to have problems with syncing the playlists and I just dont like Doubletwist that much. Any suggestions on how to sync the Galaxy Player?
Does the Samsung Kies sync program that came with the Galaxy Player sync playlists? I have not figured out a way to do this. If that works, the Kies is the way to sync your files. I do use it to sync my videos but music works but not the playlists as far as I can tell.
FORGOT: Another option is to use Google Music! Sync via the cloud.
Google music is good, but the lack of lockscreen controls kills it for me. I've been using double twist though.

I didn't like that either until I got the Widget Locker app. I added the Google Music Widget to the lockscreen. Not perfect, but does work as an option.
I can share my audio setup, a bit complicated actually.
For frequently listen music, I simply copy the flac files from my Qnap NAS to my Galaxy Player. The entire collection is over 100G in lossless flacs, so it is basically impossible to sync to the player without transcoding (which I don't want to do).
For less frequently listen music, I can do that via streaming on my Galaxy Player. The software needed are
1. Squeeze Center (server software) installed on the Qnap NAS
2. SqueezePlayer App on my Galaxy Player acting as the "virtual player"
3. SqueezeCommander App on my Galaxy Player acting as the "remote control" controlling the server and send the audio stream to the player app.
If you have a solid wifi connection to your home, you can stream your entire collection to your player at CD quality. There are other streaming apps but my home audio setup is already tied to Squeezebox, so I end up with this rather odd setup.
I use Banshee in Ubuntu.
I have a lot of playlists made on iTunes so I like Double Twist. In addition to the music organization that similar players do it seamlessly imports songs and playlists from iTunes.
iSyncr
I have used a lot of the different mentioned apps to sync my itunes lib with my player, and iSyncr is by far the easiest and best. It allows to add music to either internal or SD card memory.

Definitely, Isyncr is the easiest way for me to sync music for me since i use itunes. It's really easy, if you've had an ipod before and synced music from itunes you'll notice that Isyncr syncs all the artists, albums and other tags perfectly.
To Synch with the stock music appliation or any other application:
Try FolderSyncLite (free)
https://market.android.com/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite&hl=en
Share the your music folder on the network
(right click -> properties -> sharing)
Add a new user with login / password
Install application
Add account -> your login / password for your windows share
Share method = Samba/CIFS
Setup the remote folder and your local music folder choose one way synch (PC - > Player)
Choose how often to synch
DONE!
Windows Explorer. Nothing is easier than drag & drop!
I often use Google Music
It just convenient for me
+1 for iSyncr
I drag and drop using Nautilus in Ubuntu.
I think for the past hour or so i've wasted my time trying to create a playlist using Kies.
after trying to sync and playing around with kies, i realized its a crappy program.
so i would like to know how (if possible), if i can EXPORT my kies playlist to any other program (windows media player, itunes, doubletwist...anything!)
i've looked everywhere and all i find is importing other apps playlists to kies...but nothing for the other way around.
the reason im doing this is because whenever it sync my library, it doesnt sync playlists in that library, i have to either choose sync playlist or entire library without playlist...
and i would like to have my entire library as well as my playlist
thanks
If the Apple iPhone has iTunes, and Windows Phone has Zune, what does the Android have?
I tried Google Music Manager, but it is strange. I want a desktop manager than I can sync my music to for Windows 7. Does anyone know what program I can use besides manually adding them to my device?
I just installed doubleTwist for the Android and PC. It's what I was looking for so far. Anyone know anything better?
There is a real player app. I personally don't keep music or listen to music on my computer. I like xenoAmp music player, you can find it here in xda. Just search it.

I'll stick with Real Player app and doubleTwist desktop software. Thanks.
I just use windows media player when you connect it as your mass storage.. its simple and easy as of music...

You may want to check out http://www.winamp.com/. I've been a pretty loyal Winamp fan for years on the desktop, and their android app is definitely a very solid player that also includes nifty features like wireless sync over WiFi.
There are tons of music manager for Windows. Personally, I just manage my music manually and sync the music folder on my PC to the Android SDcard. You can use program like Microsoft SyncToy for syncing.
For programs that can sync music onto portable devices, try Winamp. Although I like Clementine, which is a lighter version of Amarok.
I'm hoping to get some advice/suggestions as to the best iTunes-esque desktop based music manager to use to organise and sync playlists on my phone. I do have a subscription for Youtube Music so I do use that to listen to music most of the time but I also like to have my music collection and playlists remotely on my phone too.
Previously, I have used MusicBee to do this and I have all of my songs, album art and playlists organised on there but it can be a bit frustrating when it comes to syncing as sometimes instead of just transferring the new songs, it'll just start syncing the whole library as if nothing is on the phone.
Any suggestions for a good desktop-based music manager or alternatively, any other solutions to best manage the files onto my phone?

I may have misunderstood your question, but YouTube Music has an Android app you can use to remotely have all of your songs, playlists, etc... And on your pc if you have chrome, you can download the YouTube Music chrome app.
And if you want an alternative to YT Music go for Spotify, they have a PC and Android software.
Again, I think I totally missed your point so please clarify (or tell me I didn't missed the point lol)
Have a good one
