iSyncer

One of the biggest advantage of synchronizing your music collection on iTunes stems from the fact that you can rest assured you can turn to your backup in case anything were to happen to the files you have gathered for years.

iSyncer is an application designed to help you synchronize your iTunes playlists and save copies of the new lists to a local or external drive in an M3U or M3U8 format.

First off, you should know that the application requires you have both iTunes and Java installed on your computer. You should be aware that having the iTunes-specific playlist file or library readily available can help you get things done faster. The program comes with a rather plain and rugged interface, yet easy to navigate and intuitive, so you are unlikely to encounter any issues while browsing the menus.

Functionality-wise, you can synchronize the desired playlist by specifying the user profile, the location of the library file and then accessing the dedicated function. You should know that you can create and manage your profiles as you want by accessing the option with the same name.

It is necessary to mention that you can create as many profiles as you want so that you can manage different scenarios. Another reason you need to create a profile comes is that it enables you to convert the tracks in your playlist before synchronizing.

The application allows you to convert tracks to 3 formats, namely MP3, M4A or FLAC and you should know that the duration of the conversion varies according to the desired format and its properties.

As a side note, if you register, you can also gain access to various additional features, such as 192d and 128-bit audio conversion, playlist creation or synchronizing multiple playlists in a single folder, just to name a few.

If you are looking for a quick and efficient solution to create backups and synchronize the playlists you have created in time in iTunes, then perhaps iSyncer could help you out.
