Best Way to Sync Music to Android Phone

I normally have to drag and drop. Does anyone have a better method that doesn't involve DoubleTwist? :)

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

You could just download then directly to on your phone, or use Kies or you could take the micro SD out of your phone and transfer it to that.

I use Spotify too, their sync is so straightforward. The only downside is the already mentioned ~$10/month price tag (well, in Sweden it's closer to $20 though...).

Cheers,

Foobar / Winamp are able to synch to your device as you would with an iPod. But it basically does Drag n Drop so you're able to share your music with a buddy at his house or w/e.

I think spotify can do local media only too, not entirely certain though... But in which case, it'll sync when you are on the same WiFi ;-)

Does iTunes allow you to copy your music over to Android? Even outside of iTunes, through the actual folders?

Yes, if its Samsung Galaxy handset, then you can use 'Easy Phone Sync', great program, which uses your iTunes library.

I think it works on nexus devices too....

The answer is 42.
Oh, wait, you mean to tell me you need to know the question now?
Well, I can't answer that.

Mass storage mode and drag/drop is what I use. Music organized into folders (by Album) and properly tagged; Google Play Music does the rest.

I use Wifi File Transfer because I can transfer my files without having to plug in my cable every time to transfer files.

MediaMonkey is the best option in my opinion. It has all the features you could want/need and it syncs perfectly with my Nexus 4. You can sync specific playlists, songs, etc.
