Course, here you go:
I'm running FTPServer on the phone, being started at connection to my home wifi - trust you get along to set this up yourself. In order to facilitate life, I've told my wireless router to always hand out the same IP to the phone.
I have a music directory with mp3-files (and folders) that is being mirrored to the phone, as well as a sync directory in which I put M3U-Playlists (that I generate e.g. for my podcasts). Those playlists have the mp3-files with full pathnames, and the script copies those files to the music directory, and changes album information (on the copies) to reflect the playlist.
Script runs from cron every half hour and checks if the phone's there. If so, it compiles the playlist albums, mirrors the music folder to the phone, and switches off the FTPServer on the phone (to prevent it from resyncing every half hour).
Dependencies are netcat, id3v2 and lftp - probaby apt-gettable pretty much anywhere. My distribution is Debian.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# settings
HOST="192.168.x.y" #this is the phone's IP address
PORT="2222"
USER="abc" #for FTPserver on phone
PASSWD="XXXXXXX"
SYNC_DIR="/mnt/sync/music" # on the computer
PL_DIR="/mnt/sync"
PL_PREFIX="_Playlist-"
PHONE_DIR="/sdcard/Music" # where the phone keeps its music
LOCKFILE="/var/lock/sync_android"
# first, scan the phone to see if it is there. If not, exit
nc -z "$HOST" "$PORT" || exit;
# lockfile
if [ ! -e $LOCKFILE ]; then
trap "rm -f $LOCKFILE; exit" INT TERM EXIT
touch $LOCKFILE
else
exit
fi
# create folders for playlists
for PLFILE in "$PL_DIR"/*.m3u ; do
PL_DIR_NAME="$SYNC_DIR/$PL_PREFIX$(basename "$PLFILE" .m3u)"
mkdir "$PL_DIR_NAME" || rm "$PL_DIR_NAME"/*

cp "$LINE" "$PL_DIR_NAME"

done
done
# delete all m3u playlists now so they don't get to phone
rm -rf "$SYNC_DIR"/*.m3u
rm -f "$PL_DIR"/*.m3u
# since this may have taken a while, check again if phone is there
nc -z "$HOST" "$PORT" || exit;

# and shutdown the phone ftp server
