I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and it worked OK.
I did have problems because I had not gone into the settings/wireless and network/usb utilities and connected the phone.
After that is showed up and everything worked as advertised.
Ok.. soo.. I'm big on playlists. What's the best software to sync music, including playlists? iTunes Agent apparently doesn't? TuneSync is slow and clunky and so is DoubleTwist (not to mention DoubleTwist never syncs all my files, it randomly files errors with a bunch of songs for no reason)
I just want iTunes for Android! Why is this so hard!?
I'm being lazy and havn't read every post in this thread but i find IsyncCR is much better than the two already written in the first post. It also does Sync over Wifi.

So I had this same problem. I tried DoubleTwist, Google Music, Amazon, etc... there are a bunch of solutions on the market for this sort of problem but nothing seemed to really work for me. I always had double music or tracks wouldnt delete from the mobile device when I removed them from iTunes... or I had to select a playlist I wanted to sync.. or they were super SLOW... it just got frustrating to me.
What I wanted was my files that are in iTunes (and playlists) to go from iTunes to my Android phone. If I added tracks on either side I wanted them to go across, if I removed from either side I wanted them deleted from both. I couldnt make it work with the products I tried, so I built an app to do it for me. If you are interested in the project it is free to download it at austinHenderson dot com. You will find it under the Projects tab.
I encourage you to check it out if you dont find the solution for your need.
Good luck to you
Thank you so much for such detail info. It helped, but I do have a question and hope you don't mind. I can't figure out how I can sync my pictures. Can I use this for it and how? I sure hope you don't mind and do have an answer...).
I have an infuse and used to use itunemywalkman but for some reason it always freezes or goes super slow now and ive tried everything I can think of but nothing has worked so far!!! Can anyone help??
I use a project called mediaSync to sync my iTunes to my Android phone - It does not offer every feature that some of the others do but it does work fast and does offer real two way sync - including remote device removal of tracks! Maybe you want to check it out and see if it will work for you.
Great info. however iTunes Agent is now known as NotPod. Seems as though Apple doesn't like the idea of someone using the iTunes name for a program that syncs iTunes with non-iOS devices

You can look at your Android phone using Windows Explorer (or whatever the equivalent is on Mac ... or even Linux) and then copy that music from the phone to your computer's HDD. From there you import into iTunes just like any other music you have on your HDD.
Hey guys, I just followed this instructional and all the songs i wanted downloaded flawlessly, but only some of my album artwork is there, and in my itunes i have album artwork for EVERY album i have... any idea what i need to do to fix that?
Use iSyncr. synces EVERYTHING! I use it all the time, it actually syncs! (doesn't just copy the music files) which keeps all your stuff there
Just to avoid misunderstandings, iTunesAgent (now called Notpod) DOES NOT SYNCS PLAYLISTS on iTunes.
It just syncs the music CONTAINED in certain playlists on iTunes.
This means that if you have multiple playlists in sync with files of different nature insight, it will blend all the files, and you will loose file control.
That's the reason why it is completely useless for most users (except the one that are use to play a single playlists).
Moreover, it does not support a full customized destination pattern creation, you will have at least 1 subdirectory level created.
On portable music players (iPod etc.) all the files are ALWAYS stored into the same directory, leaving to the player the ability to organize music according to mp3 or m4a tags.
This because each sub-directory level increase EXPONENTIALLY the time needed to scan/organize the music (the time needed to access files).
Most of the work is already done.
The just need, after files have been copied, to create a text file with same name of destination playlist name configured, ".m3u" extesion, place it into main declared destination folder, and write pattern/FileName inside.
I really can't understand why they are not willing to implement this 5-minutes change.
Talking about players, I've tried many of them, included the ones referred into this post.
I've find out that the best ones in terms of no-lagging, sound quality, sound adjustement, media-art recovery, Reply Gain support and FULL lock-screen support (without to pass from several lock screes, the player one, the system one, etc.) is PowerAmp.
That's actually the most used android player, that should be a reason behind that
There is a time-limited trial version on Google Play, give it a try.

Has anyone else used this app with success? It seems good but no one else seems to be talking about it besides the creator
).
Itunes agend syncs music, non playlists
