After selecting the relevant option, click Sync and wait for doubleTwist to transfer all the media with artwork, metadata and playlists intact. You can also import songs from the Android device to your PC. On this screen you can choose to either sync your entire iTunes library or selected playlists. Step 2: On the left sidebar, select your device. Step 1: Launch the doubleTwist app after connecting your phone via USB with your Mac or PC and make sure you enable Mass Storage Mode. It instantly imports any new playlist you make as well. Just opening the app imports your iTunes collection. The process detailed here is for the Mac client but I’ve tested the Windows ones as well and other than the install process, everything else is exactly the same.ĭownload doubleTwist app for Mac and Windows, the free Android app for wired sync and the AirSync add on that costs just under $2 for syncing music wirelessly over Wi-Fi.ĭoubleTwist is intelligent when it comes to iTunes pairing. Note: Both apps listed here have a Mac and PC client. But thanks to a couple of apps we can replicate the same scenario between iTunes and Android.

On Android, there is no similar built-in solution. But on the flip side, syncing iPhone with iTunes wirelessly is as simple as connecting your charger or pushing a button. Of course, you'd have to trust me on that.Syncing media from a PC to an Android device is usually a simple affair as Android devices show up as storage media on the PC (unlike the iPhone). Rocket Player's status broadcast is just a few strings and ints, which I don't think is anything to worry about.

As this broadcast lives as long as the device is turned on, a bad/malicious programmer could make the broadcast several megabytes and slow down the device as the object's lifetime is so long. This way anyone (AKA iSyncr) can check on the status of Rocket Player at any time by just getting the broadcast. To answer the Rocket Player / Sticky Broadcast question, Rocket Player sends out its playing status as a sticky broadcast. If users really want explanations (the permissions themselves are transparent), I can create a page for that.

Just recently I was considering adding the internet permission to send crash logs for iSyncr.

I'm not trying to hide anything by not fully explaining the app permissions. I made the app because I'm a smart playlist fanatic, but love the openness of Android phones. First, I'm glad to hear you are considering iSyncr.
