Help What is the Best App to quickly upload Playlists?

[Puddin422]

Okay, tomorrow I'm going to pay for the Tunebite so I don't have to pay again for songs I've already paid for, but I just signed up for **edit** NAPSTER and will be using them from now on. It was no problem at all to just copy the new MP3s and paste them into a music folder in my phone. Voila!

Honestly, what is the point of iSyncr (used only for iTunes) if you can't play iTunes songs? (downloaded prior to a year ago) And it's not a free app! I feel like an idiot for buying it. And it's too late to uninstall and get a refund. grrrr

iSyncr works fine for syncing your playlists from iTunes. If you have a bunch of playlists already created (from ipod or iphone days) and don't want to go through the hassle of creating them all again, this is a good tool.

Unfortunately, it is still limited by the limitations of the files themselves.

I went back and copy/pasted all of my iTunes songs from Jan 1, 2009 to present to Dropbox. Got a bunch sync'd onto my phone now. As for the rest, I'll just suck it up and buy them all over again somewhere else.

I decided to go back and check and see when I downloaded all of my files. Fortunately for me, most of them were after the cutoff date. I only have 21 song files with the .m4p extension (meaning it's copy protected). After a quick search on google it appears that Burning a CD from iTunes of these songs and then ripping them back to my computer removes the DRM. If you have a LOT of songs you might not want to take the time to do this (hence buying software) but for me I guess that's my free option. I figure you can fit approximately 23-25 songs per CD so if you just do it in the background while working, it's better than paying for something?

I found a few free converters online. Tuneclone says it's free but only works on Vista 32bit and XP. I also found this one: M4P Converter - convert M4P to MP3, WMA, M4A, WAV but I can't speak for how good it is, or if it is free of spyware or anything. You can always install and then uninstall and run a spyware program if you are concerned.

Anyhow, figured I'd throw out some options out there for anyone else having the same problem. If you have <100 songs I'd just burn CDs (5 discs should do it) and then rip them back to your computer using iTunes for both (just remember to select on the drop down MP3 converter in the Import Options).
