Five Of the  Best iTunes Replacements

This is probably the best alternative for ITunes. The interface of Ecoute looks like an improved version of older versions of iTunes.

Ecoute has some amazing features with the best being its ability to detect and synchronize with your iTunes library. To add onto its list of features, is its sort function. Ecoute allows you to sort your songs according to album, artist, genre and playlist. You will also be glad to know that when a song is playing, there is a small widget that appears on the screen that allows you to access play controls. Those that love to know when a new song is playing are also in luck because Ecoute has the ability to serve it users with notifications each time a new song plays. Its interface is also resizable thus you need not worry about having several windows open at the same time.

This app comes for free.

For Mac users updating, syncing and grabbing files from your phone can be somewhat easy.  You just need to goto android.com/filetransfer and grab the free Mac based software that will help you do what you need to do.

But it’s a simple software, and in our honest opinion it’s not the most flexible and feature robust option either.  There are far superior software products to help you transfer files from your android device.

A simple Google search for android file transfer or file manger software will give you a host of other better options when it comes to managing your phone on both Windows and Mac operating systems.  Some are free and some are paid, and some are worth your time checking out and obviously some are not.  So how do you wade through the tech waters and avoid wasting you time when all you really want to do is grab some pictures and videos off of your phone and put them on your laptop?

We suggest a nifty piece of softare by a company called Wondershare.  They are amazing and offer many little programs that do all sorts of great things with your iOS, Android and Symbian phones.  They can act as file mangers, data recovery specialists and even phone to phone transfer moderators.
