I mean absolutely no disrespect to the opening poster, but for me, this thread only serves to show how utterly stupid Google has been to make syncing to iTunes virtually impossible without third party software (and a lot of that doesn't work very well).
The fact is, Apple stole a march with iTunes. It's a brilliant way of organising music, podcasts and films etc., and the overwhelming majority of people are using it. The way it syncs with an iPhone or iPod is seamless and beautifully simple.
Then Android comes along and people immediately want to know how to push all of their stuff onto their new phone. And the answer is... with difficulty. I know a few people who have tried Android and gone back to Apple for this very reason and I don't understand why Google don't fix it.
I don't care about work-arounds or third party apps, I want to plug my phone into my Mac and drag my music to the phone. Simple. But I can't.
It's like designing a brand new care for the roads, but not including a steering wheel.
