Sync for iTunes

Your entire music library, copied to real folders you can use anywhere.

Sync for iTunes copies the songs, music videos and playlists from your Music library into plain folders — on an external drive, a NAS, a USB stick or any folder you choose. No database, no special software on the other side: just your music, neatly organized, playable from car stereos, Windows, media players and any backup tool.

Getting started could not be simpler: your Mac's Music library is connected automatically, so you just drag in a destination folder and press START. Synchronization is one-way and incremental — your library is only ever read, and after the first copy only new and changed files are transferred. Buy or import new songs, run the app, done.

ORGANIZE YOUR WAY

▪ Design the folder structure and file names with simple tags: Artist, Album, Genre, Year, Track Number, Rating and more.

▪ Playlists and smart playlists become real folders, with playlist folders preserved.

▪ Choose what to copy: songs, music videos, playlists — each with its own folder layout.

▪ Filters choose exactly which files get copied.

SET IT AND FORGET IT

▪ 14 independent sync setups, each with its own source, destination and options.

▪ Scheduled synchronizations: weekly, or repeating every few minutes.

▪ Optional mirror mode ("Delete on Destination") removes copies of songs you deleted from the library.

▪ Queue syncs to run one after another, or run them at the same time.

▪ Safe to cancel at any time — continue later from where it stopped.

▪ Every operation can be written to a log file.

▪ Fully scriptable with AppleScript.

OLD LIBRARIES WELCOME

Still have a classic iTunes library from an older Mac? Drag its folder in — Sync for iTunes reads iTunes libraries directly, including the full range of old media types: Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, Audiobooks, Tones and Books. (On old iTunes versions, enable "Share iTunes Library XML with other applications" in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced first.)

FAQ

• Does the app change my Music library?

Never. The library is only read; files are copied out of it.

• What happens when I delete songs in Music?

Your choice: with "Delete on Destination" enabled, their copies are removed on the next sync, keeping a perfect mirror. Leave it off to keep everything that was ever copied.

• Are playlists included?

Yes — playlists and smart playlists are recreated as folders containing their songs, and you control how they are named and organized.

• Is it safe to cancel an ongoing synchronization?

Yes, at any time. The next sync can continue right where it stopped.
