Can you provide a little more info on what you mean by "sync the mp3's on my computer to my phone"? Is this a one-way sync, meaning the source is always your computer or will you also be purchasing mp3's on your phone and then want to sync those back to your computer as well? Also, I notice that DoubleTwist seems to be tied in with iTunes, with playlists, playcounts, ratings, etc. I assume if you are running Ubuntu on your laptop that iTunes isn't in the mix. Is that correct?
For any type of folder syncing, not just music stuff, on Linux I typically just use command-line rsync. Very powerful, very simple to use. There are GUI front-ends to rsync, but I've never really used them. If I had a music folder on one of my Linux machines that I wanted to sync to my Droid I'd just mount the Droid as a USB drive and then run something like 'rsync -avz /home/<my login>/Music /media/USB1/<some folder on Droid>/' John On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 10:16 PM, Stephanie Kvam <[email protected]> wrote: > I just bought a Droid X smart phone from Verizon and now I would like > to sync the mp3's on my computer to my phone.
