What's the best media manager for my Android phone?
Hello everyone. I am a Linux Nubie and I am looking for the best media manager for my Android phone that will sync with my laptop running Zorin Linux OS. Banshee is what I have on my Linux system and Songbird is currently on my Droid phone.
The issue that I have with Songbird is that it constantly duplicates song tracks. I should only have about 900 tracks on my phone, yet Songbird lists over 1700. This is a real issue for me. I have synced my phone library with Banshee and I noticed it did not duplicate any tracks. So, my entire music library is currently loaded onto my laptop. However, I have not found a Banshee Android app that I could use on the phone. Any ideas?
Note: I will only be syncing music tracks, no videos, movies, etc.
This forum has been a great help in the past. Thanks in advance.
fr8train, I guess my listening needs are very simple.
Since mostly I listen to podcasts, duplicates and syncing are not an issue for me. Once I've listened to one, I delete it. Nevertheless, if I do occasionally try to copy a duplicate, I get a "[filename] already exists; overwrite?" dialog.
If it's worth keeping because I want to refer to it later, like some of Klaatu's tutorials, I store a copy of it on my laptop in a "tutorials" directory, which in turn gets backed up to my server.
