I don't care about the photos. But glad to hear they are taking photos and music out of the main app and making it less bloated.
I wish they'd allow syncing of my full music library to my mobile app so I can finally get off Apple Music.
Musicbee can pull your songs and playlists from itunes and allow syncing of them to your phone. It doesn't do streaming though.
To what app in the phone? Does it keep playlists?
It adds it to local folders so you can pretty much use any music player app you want. I like personally like poweramp. I just add the directory with my playlists which are .m3u and it they just pop up
The problem for me is that my music is arranged around "smart playlists". My music library would be unmanageable if I had to add every song to playlists manually.
Ah, then musicbee might not be for you. I've managed my own songs for at least a decade the old fashioned way so it was easy to import and move my songs around to other forms of media apps. You can however copy and paste the Playlist from iTunes to musicbee. You don't have to manually add all the songs to the playlist from your library.
Put all songs in a playlist and then download that playlist?
But I need all my playlists, not just all my songs in one big useless playlist. I have around 50 of them.
You can download all your playlists.
Hmm, okay maybe I will experiment with it. It seems I read somewhere that there was an issue with doing this. Have you tried it? Then whenever I add new music I'd have to remember to add it to this playlist. Other playlists would automatically use the local copy?
I have Plexamp on my phone configured to automatically download the "loved" album (songs I've rated 4 or 5 stars). It automatically downloads songs I add to the playlist. My library is too big to download it all to my phone (most songs are in FLAC format) so I'd need to download a curated list anyways.
This seems to work well. I've used it a few times on flights or when I'm in a hotel room with spotty phone coverage and no wifi.
If you play the same songs on other playlists does it use the local copy?
Yeah it'll use the local copy if it exists.
