Media Management

[jerms]

Hey All,
I'm back and finally done with Apple!

Its been a while an wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on how best to manage media from Music, Movies, and Pics. I was looking to duplicate all the content on my PC on my phone. Most importatnly changes made on teh phone synced back to the PC. So if I edit a playlist or delete a song. That action would be duplicated on my PC.

I used to do this like a file system where I set up Microsoft's SyncToy to monitor my Media directories on my PC and match them on my Droid. I created playlists as text M3U files had my Music, Movies, and Pics in an identical file structure to my PC. Then when ever I wanted I would connect my phone to my PC and run SyncToy to sync changes from PC to Droid or vice versa.

I was hoping there was a better way since leaving droid a couple of years ago. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Jerms

Depends a lot on how you manage things and your phone's brand. For example, Samsung Kies can do all of those, but I don't want to use it for my own reasons, so I use different programs for each, with MusicBee for music, and Sugarsync for pics.

I have an LG G2. Pics I figured I would just use Google+ since every picture I take seems to sync there as well. I have no problem pulling from the cloud.

But music I tried MediaMonkey to sync my music and playlists which worked for the initial sync but any changes I make on my phone such as add to a playlist. If I sync a gain it just replaces the changes I made on the phone with what ever is on the computer.

I will try MusicBee to see if I can accomplish this.
