OS matters way way less than it used to (Think of the bad old days, where Macs couldn't read Windows floppies), but it can still be a pain. For example, Google Music integrates best with Android. Microsoft OneDrive is most slick on Windows. iTunes runs like crap on anything other than OSX.
You can get away with any hodgepodge mix these days if you want, but it's still more convenient to match.

- sliverstorm 13y agoEvery time I try to overlap different sync tools, I get conflicts and wind up either losing all my data or having twenty copies of all my data. Also, of course iTunes isn't greased lightning & a buttered dream on OSX, it's just "less awful", or so I hear.
- jmspring 13y agoIt is still quite awful, especially if you have a large media collection. That said, one benefit to a mostly homogenous ecosystem around apple devices, at least for me, airplay and streaming media across devices with less work (I get lazy about home it issues)
