[Q] possible app idea - Android Software Development

type: music sync app
purpose: to automatically sync a folder on your PC with a folder on your phone when you enter the wireless network when this PC is on.
OK, example, you have a folder on your PC that is named "music". when your phone connects to your wireless network this App looks at this folder (if available,ex. turned off computer)
If there is a new song in this folder, the app automatically downloads it to the folder on the phone (sd card).
I have tried audio galaxy, its so so, i wish i could just look at a whole list of all my song like a normal player does. yes there are playlist, but come on.
Worth creating?
Also i thought this might come in handy with car's, say you drive in your driveway and your car connects to your wireless, noticing that you have 15 new songs waiting to be synced to the hard drive in the car. without user input needed the files are copied over, available when ever needed.

It would be nice to have an option to autosync via ssh. I imagine these apps can be improved but it's out there.

Change the sync location of My Files in activesync to use storage card

I threw a few music files in the MY PDA folder under My Documents on my PC and expected them to sync accross to my Vario II. After connecting the phone it sent a couple across then I got a warning on the phone that 'Storage Memory is Critically Low'. Obviously the files had been synced onto the phone. Thought you would be able to specify to sync onto the phone storage card but there is no option for this anywhere.
Anyone know a way to do this?
if you set up the sync option for media player in active sync and then set up the playslists you want to sync in media player on your pc it will automatically set up the folders on your card and transfer the files. it does warn not to drag and drop onto the card of you want the sync process to work.
Cheers cdyat, but this was more of a test. For instance, what if I want to sync 30Mb of Office files with my phone. It would appear that I can't just put these in the My PDA Sync folder to be copied next time I connect, but I have to cut and paste from the relevant folders.
This to me seems ridiculous but I can't see an option to change the location to sync with the storage card anywhere.
You can only sync files, be default, into main memory. There are two 3rd party apps available (Sorry can't remember the names) that will allow you to Sync anything to anywhere. One is commercial and the other is a Japenglish conversion. Try searching these forums for links.
I am all for searching, but if anyone comes up with a name for those two apps, please post =)
As another user recently posted in this forum, Pocket Controller has a Sync Manager that can be used to synchronize files and folders to any location, including storage cards.
Pocket Controller sounds very nice but $35 is quite a lot just to enable me to sync a folder to my storage card.
I had assumed there must be a registry setting somewhere on the PC that would change the default path?
Try these

YMMV, but have a nice day...
Cheers Daniel, Mobsync looks like it might do the trick.
Acid Sync - Sync Computer Folder to SD Card\Folder
A guy I know is working on a program to do this with a much easier configuration since it just syncs Desktop folder to Storage Card folder. Pretty simple really, copy mp3 or whatever to desktop folder and it will sync to PPC folder and viceversa. Still in beta though

How do I send music to Hero?

Just got a Hero and need help sending music from my computer to my Hero.
Thanks
Download HTC Sync and install it. Run it after it's installed, connect your Hero to the PC with the USB cable, it will go through a couple of settings.
Once it's connected to HTC Sync, on the phone at the top of the screen, drag it down and select "USB connected" Then "Mount"
You should be able to access your SD card now. Then I usually just use WMP to sync with my Hero but you could create a folder on your SD card called "Music" then just copy and paste any album folder onto your SD card.
No need to get HTC sync, just plug the phone in via usb, drag notification bar down and 'mount' then just open the external device (the phone) folder in my computer, drag whatever you want to the phone, create folders if you like for extras, like notifications, music, ringtones etc, the phone knows what these are for.
I use windows media player. Just drop and drop music onto the sync tab and when ready click on sync. This assumes you first have all your music loaded into windows media player.

Everytime when I sync music/videos

Do I have to sync everything or is there a way to sync only certain items?
I'm using Multimedia Synch by doubleTwist which came with the phone.
I want to be able to sync 1 movie on my phone without having to sync all my other songs because everytime I sync just the movie section it deletes my music off the phone.
Any help is appreciated.
You could connect in disk drive mode and drag and drop the movie in the folder of your choice.
Also can try to use Card with jacket
& insert in PC
with the phone

It is not a perfect solution, and not just for media, but what I do , is connect in disk mode and use a program called Super Flexible File Synchronizer, it will actually Synchronize the directories, making sure they are exact ...
does no conversion or anything, just syncs, also works for keeping a good backup of my whole SD card once a week or so ...

I just want to sync my music

Simple stuff. I am looking for a program that can sync my music everytime I plug in my S4...
All it literally has to do is sync music. It doesn't have to play it or even edit the music tags or information, it simply needs to sync to my S4 external SD card. I just point the program to the folder I want to sync to and it adds everything that isn't on the SD card. just like an iPhone
Any recommendations?

I use isyncr and itunes (blasphemy I know).
But it works well for me, I have it wireless sync on a schedule both ways (playcounts, ratings, playlists). Or you can have it sync over usb (gets annoying everytime I plug my phone into the computer though tbh).
You can use whatever android media player you want - needs to be itunes on the pc though.

Trying to get Doubletwist to work

Hi All
New to Android and looking for the best way to sync my music to the honor 8. Downloaded doubletwist and it won't recognise my phone. Keeps saying to mount it and on the phone via notifications, I select files but has no option to mount the device.
Android file transfer works but want a sync function for better functionality. Alternatively tried just connecting my SD card however doubletwist won't sync FLAC / ALAC files, can it onyl sync MP3?
Thanks
How about using a free cloud service like Drive, Mega or Dropbox?
Just use a PC folder with the songs, have the cloud client installed and syncing that folder. At the phone side, point the music library folder as the synced folder and you don't have to worry about what type of files you are using.
