In the battle between Apple and Android, I hear a lot of people going to the iPhone simply because they have/had an iPod and they want to sync their music to their phone. Well, guess what? You can sync your iTunes to your Android phone and it works rather slick. There are a couple of apps out there that allow you do this, I'll cover the one that I use which is 'doubleTwist player'.
The reason I use doubleTwist is because its free, you can sync music, videos, and pictures to and from your phone. It will also load music, playlists, everything from your iTunes folder located on your computer, so if you rip a CD or buy a song from the iTunes store, the next time you open doubleTwist, that CD or song will be in doubleTwist too. You will of course want to download the doubleTwist app for your phone and also for your Mac or PC, which looks quite a bit like iTunes does. Whenever I connect my phone to my computer I always sync, which syncs my selected playlists from my computer to my phone, it syncs my pics and videos from my phone to my computer and stores them in my pictures folder.
DoubleTwist does have 'AirSync' which is pretty cool, but I'm pretty cheap so I haven't purchased it yet.
There are some other apps that sync your music over your wifi router such as TuneSync, iSyncer, Wifi Tunes Sync Pro, and I'm sure many more. Some of these will require a computer application also. As always I suggest reading user comments, and make sure the app has a good rating (typically 4 stars or more for me, I have high standards)
See, Apple and Android can play nice together!
