arunsakda Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Easiest would be drag and drop but plugging Samsung Galaxy S6 into Mac "device not recognized" although I have the latest OS. Samsung smart switch app does not support music. I do not want to sync my Music Library with iCloud. Much info on the internet and programs to download. I don't mind paying for a good app but what I have seen so far on GooglePlay looks naff. Free software is never good and always full of Malwarez. I just want to Keep my playlists organized. If that is not possible I won't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyj1967 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Have you tried Apple Music for Android? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunsakda Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 I don't think that is what I need. I don't want anything from Apple, or anything streaming from "Clouds" I wish to listen to playlists from my iTunes folder which consists almost entirely of CD collection, which I imported one by one.

maxtwo Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 So why import your CDs into an Apple product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Perhaps you could back up your iTunes library onto your laptop/desktop and then import it back onto your Samsung using VLC which will also play lossless and FLAC files via wifi or a mini usb line.

arunsakda Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 That sounds like a good idea. iTunes folder already on desktop Mac drive. I have a received a little more info from Samsung/Android sites regarding Smart Sync and I am going to first see if I can do it using a USB OTG cable.

arunsakda Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 VLC is a great media player but not sure how that would help with the file transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 VLC is a great media player but not sure how that would help with the file transfer. Sorry, I did write it confusingly - VLC to be used as the media player so avoiding iTunes but use wi-fi or a direct mini usb line from the computer and drop and drag your files onto your phone . Is that clearer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunsakda Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Yeah, figured I needed the USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jphasia Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I am using an application called Isync. There is a free version and a paid version, both on google store. I have benn using the free version for quite long time now. I am on Mac for the computer and on Samsung Note 5 for the phone. You have the option to synchronize with usb or wifi. I still did not find the way to connect android with Mac using usb...but in wifi, it work fine. You need to download the app on your phone and the interface from the app website to your computer. Once it's done, you open the Isync app on your phone and it will show you the library from your computer where the interface has been installed. It give you the option to sync all or only what you want (only my music or only my posdcast or only the unread, playlists...whatever you want). Only one thing is that the synchronization is not automatic. You need to do it yourself. But so far it work fine and free app (I think the paid version remove the ads only but not sure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
