• Best Out There For Syncing iTunes

  lcymruJune 9, 2017

  Pros

  As of v2.6 it does everything well. For example, if you have some lossless tracks in your iTunes (via CD ripping, etc.) it will downconvert to a format / bitrate that your car likes and that saves USB space. Its output folder/file arrangement is not limited as in the early version and now outputs virtually any arrangement you can think of to suit your car and/or your preferences. It also truly syncs: if you delete a track from a synced playlist in iTunes (and it's not in any other synced playlist) it will delete that track from the USB drive, opening up space for other tracks. Other goodies, too.

  Cons

  None are apparent.

  Summary

  Great software. Lightweight, meaning it uses minimal memory and does not try to take unwanted control of your music library or playback. Best out there in my view and I've probably tried all the alternatives.

• Free version seems good for creating USB stick for car

  genedahlDecember 13, 2016

  Pros

  Transfers files effortlessly from iTunes playlist to USB stick (without intermediate steps like WMP import). Offers options for playlist format, file format conversion. Paid version offers multiple output directory structures. Multiple profiles make it simple to maintain lists for different sticks.

  Cons

  Does not maintain track order in the output playlist - just alphabetical. Currently having some erratic results - tracks missing, playlist not detected - but early stages, still investigating. Tracks that appear in multiple playlists are written to the USB stick multiple times (free version).

  Summary

  I've been creating USB sticks for use in multiple family cars - Ford, GM, BMW - by transcribing iTunes playlists to WMP, performing WMP sync to USB, then copying over the WPL files - but folder reference compatibility has finally beaten me. Tried this utility (free version to start), and it does a very nice job of transferring files from iTunes to a USB stick. It writes each file into a folder named for the playlist, then writes a playlist (WPL or other formats) into the origin folder; simple but effective, yielding the additional benefit that if the playlist is not interpreted correctly for whatever reason, one can simply "play all" from the corresponding folder. A "profile" defines what playlists and format options are to be used; multiple profiles can be used for different output devices. Very nice. Reasonable user interface; reasonable performance during transfer. I intend to explore the "registered" version options, as well as to investigate what appear to be problems in picking up certain tracks and/or playlists in my BMW (it may clear up over time, the car system software is opaque).
