    Hi All,

    I am just rebuilding my music library and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

    My two main requirements are:-

    That it can easily sync with my android phone

    I have two pcs (laptop + desktop) and would like a player that I can set up some sort of sync so that they both stay up to date. (this can be done by a third party if needed)

    I imagine that there must be some people in a similar position so any suggestions would be great.

    Thanks

    Winamp and foobar2000 (i assume) would be able to do that. As far as syncing is concerned, if your media player auto detects changes to your library, you could use a third party program like windows live mesh to keep your music folders in sync between computers. I use it for my pictures and university related docs and it works well, it also allows me to backup my important docs to my skydrive.

    The media player i would have suggested initially is Zune since it doesn't require a lot of fiddling and works great, but it doesn't sync to Android. Windows Media Player does apparently, but then you'd be using two programs.
