First are you talking about storing the music on your Android device or on the Google servers? If you are planning on streaming music to your device from the Google Music Play servers then you can't store your music in a lossless format see this page about formats on Google Play Music, and notice this line: FLAC, ogg, and aac files are transcoded to ...

Yes, you can actually use DoubleTwist in combination with TuneSync (or TuneSync alone) to sync with iTunes although you are limited to songs that are not DRM'd by Apple. You can also do it without any app on your phone with Notpod (Windows only). The only drawbacks that I am aware with either of these are not being able to use DRM and people have reported ...

This has basically been answered in the comments above but I'll wrap it all up into an answer: No, you can't play songs that have Apple's Fairplay DRM protection on your Android phone without removing the DRM protection (which technically violates Apple's toc). As Edarerathis pointed out, Songbird doesn't actually support Fairplay DRM'd media, Quicktime ...

If you don't want to be shackled to iTunes for downloading/syncing the actual episodes, you can right-click the podcast in iTunes, and select Copy Podcast URL. It will copy the URL to the podcast feed to your clipboard. Use this URL on your Android device to subscribe to the podcast there.

The easiest way to do this is use Google Music, and specifically the Google Music Manager. Go to music.google.com and download the Music Manager. It will run in the background on your computer and upload everything in iTunes, including new downloads/purchases, to Google Music. Finally just download the Google Music app to your Android and you are all set. ...

I would try out Google Music. It will be the most native with your device, and gets relatively close to syncing, in theory. The first thing you will have to do is go to the Google Music Homepage and download the Music Manager tool. Once downloaded, you tell the Music Manager where your music is on your computer, and it uploads it all to the cloud! This ...

DoubleTwist lets you sync your phone's music library with your music on your computer from iTunes (and Windows Media Player as well, I believe) either by plugging it into your computer's USB port, or by syncing wirelessly over-the-air (though the wireless feature costs a little bit). You can find it at http://www.doubletwist.com/ and in the Android Market at ...

Its also mac http://www.winamp.com/mac OS X 10.6 and above ...

If you want to use Google Music you will need to upload your iTunes M4P music to Google Music. However, Google Music only supports .mp3, .m4a, .wma, .flac and .ogg files. And DRM-ed M4P music is not supported. In order to upload M4P to Google Music, you need do a conversion first. Since iTunes M4P music are protected by Apple's DRM, you cannot use a common ...

I'm a huge fan of iSyncr. It syncs to iTunes, so if you're coming from an iPhone you can use the playlists you already created. What sealed the deal for me was the fact that iSyncr syncs play counts and ratings back to iTunes. Not to mention the fact that you can sync over wi-fi or sync via USB cable. EDIT: I see you're asking about syncing without iTunes, ...

Manual alternative If you are on a computer and you don't even have iTunes installed, you can find web page of that podcast on iTunes site example: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tiesto-s-club-life-podcast/id251507798 Then you can view source of the page and locate links to actual files - mp3 or m4a . You can download the files saving either directly ...

You cannot directly transfer iTunes DRM music to your Android device for playback. Rather, you need to turn the music into mp3 files first. The DRM Media Converter is a good tool to get iTunes music and video converted and transferred to Android phone.
