Q: Synchronization of local playlists and songs

I have already submitted a feature request on bugreport.Apple.com : just like in the ios version I would like to sync my local playlists and music library with iTunes. Apple was replying that they don't support syncing Android with iTunes. This is quite a bummer for Android users since there is not really a proper client for syncing your droid device (doubletwist perhaps?).

Why doesn't Apple support this? Is it so against their business model to support non- iPhone users with their software products ?

It actually works, but a bit complicated !
Turn on "home sharing" on your PC or Mac itunes

on your android device, the singer appears on "my music"
dowload it on your device and you have now full access to the music

Ok. That only allows me to access my library when I'm at home and not on the go since the files are not synchronized or are they?

Hmmm... I only see the recently added albums available through the cloud but not my local library... My device is a OnePlus2. Home Sharing is on on iTunes but it doesn't seem to pick up the shared library. Both the Macbook and Android are on the same network.....

I have the 0.9.1 bug version, but looking for 2.5 or 5.3 version!
Songs are still available on the go but with the notification I told before, when I open the app
