You can use doubleTwist (www.doubletwist.com) if you only want to sync your media. Otherwise you could look into Android Manager (http://global.mobileaction.com/product/product_AM.jsp).

I haven’t tested any of those with an Galaxy S so I don’t know how well they play with the Samsung Android Firmware.

doubleTwist is using it’s own Playlists but you are able to import existing Playlists from iTunes.

As for Android Manager I’m not sure since I don’t use iTunes on Windows.

doubleTwist is a media player itself so instead of using it as a bridge between your Android phone and iTunes you can use it as an alternative to iTunes too.

Other options are Songbird (www.getsongbird.com) or Media Monkey (www.mediamonkey.com) but I don’t know how well they sync with Android – never tested it.

foobar2000 (www.foobar2000.org) is also a very simple music player and if you are lucky you might be able to find a component (which is pretty much like a plugin) to synchronize with Android

Hi Mike – If I sync music with say Songbird or Foobar, Which player I should use on my Samsung Galaxy S so that playlist show up ?
