I'm longing for an intelligent way to sync. I have just now 200 GB of mp3s (and I'm not alone, nor exceptional, and I still have several hundreds CDs to convert), so syncing 1:1 simply can't work at all until we have terabytes in our portable devices.
- haribilalic 16y agoiTunes can "automatically fill free space with songs" on iOS. I don't know if it ranks songs based on rating or plays, but I'm in the same situation as you and it's worked well for me.
- ugh 16y agoSmart playlists work quite nicely and as a fallback dragging over files works just as nicely inside applications with music libraries as in the filesystem (maybe even nicer because those applications are tailored to browsing music, also changes to the metadata sync automatically). I’m luckily still under 64GB (about 39GB, I sync 256kb/s AAC files because I can’t hear the difference) and it looks like my storage needs will grow slower than available SSD storage. At least I think that’s the case. My music library grew by about 8GB in the last year but 2010 has been an exception. It’s usually around 3GB since about 2000 (I was twelve back then). If my music library continues to grow by 8GB I have until 2013 to get something larger than 64GB. That should be doable.
