MC iTunes Synchronizer (using MC with an iPhone or iPod Touch) [v6.0.2]
m@Xist:
So there I landed trying MCiS. But it is not working for me, as when starting a test the SYNC with one playlist comprising one single album, and when it comes to importing files into iTunes, the CPU load for iTunes goes red and the system becomes stuck. MCiS logs are flushed with RPC errors for maaaaany tracks (tracks not part of that playlist are listed).
My setup (this setup prevents MCiS to alter the source iTunes lib!):
MacBook Pro:
* iTunes as master for file organization and tagging
* MC as master accessing the iTunes libWindows VM on iMac:
* MC slave accessing the MC master lib
* iTunes for syncing iPod
* MCiS for syncing files and playlist from MC to iTunes
* Additional settings in MCiS as per the screenshot
I'm looking forward for having a working solution using MCiS as I have not found any other solution by now to synchronize iPods in a convenient way!

I hope you have found by now that Media Center directly connects with Ipods and syncs them

For those of you syncing to Iphones (currrent versions, e.g, Iphone 11, etc) and current iTunes (e.g., 12.12.2.2), this is just a note that MC iTunes Synchronizer still syncs these phones. I do a complete sync each time, it probably doesn't work to do an update.
1. Delete all itunes songs
2. import them back to itunes
3 use MC Itunes synch to import playlists (I right click twice on "rebuild" per Prods original directions re a minor flaw in the Synchronizer)
4. Delete all songs from iPhone using iTunes
5. Sync all songs/playlists using Itunes (this last step takes time because you are starting from scratch.
This note is just to help anyone who wants to sync to an iPhone. There are other ways.

Thanks, posts like this are useful.
I'll keep this in mind for when I next attempt to update my media.

Bringing this thread back from the past...
Anyone still using MCiTS (besides me)? :) I've always found it most useful to create a 'duplicate' iTunes library that I use with the iTunes Match service. Because I only sync from MC->iTunes, I'm always relatively safe from metadata madness when the iTunes Match service decides that it knows better.
At any rate, for my purposes, it's been working fine with MC31, iTunes 12.13.1.3, and MCiTS 6.01--even under Windows11. However, with the recent news that iTunes is slowly being deprecated and broken into separate apps, I was wondering if anyone else had taken the testing plunge to see if MCiTS would work with the new Music app.
Thoughts?
