With Sync for iTunes you can easily keep all your iTunes media synchronized across multiple devices, external disks, network drives, etc.

You can create exact copies of your libraries if you want to access it from another Mac.
Or, you can choose what type of media to synchronize (Music, Videos, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, etc), and even decide how to organize it using tags to specify the file structure.


You can have up to 14 different configurations, all ready to start synchronizing at the press of a button.
Then after acquiring a new song or tv show for example, simply run Sync for iTunes, press the big START button and in seconds your new files are where ever you need it to be.

All slots with the Auto Start option enabled will be synchronized automatically as soon as Sync for iTunes starts.
Slots will synchronize one at a time, queued by their respective number.

When Write Log is enabled, Sync for iTunes will create a text file containing detailed information about all operations performed during synchronization.
When synchronization is complete, clicking the colored checkmark will display the corresponding log file.
You can also open the logs folder by clicking below on "Click here to open the Log's folder".
Feel free to delete old files if you no longer need them.

When the option Organize files is enabled, you can choose what type of media to synchronize.
Clicking on "Show more Options" will display options for Music, Movies, TV Shows, Music Videos, Home Videos, Podcasts, iTunes U, Audiobooks, Tones, Books and Playlists synchronizations.

If you want to have an exact copy of a working iTunes library, you should disable this option.

This option should be disabled for a faster synchronization.
Only enable it if you made changes on the files on your destination folder, to delete old files, or to verify everything.

When performing a synchronization, simply select any other slot and enable the option to Sync after slot.
With a simple check box you can decide the order in which to synchronize your slots, and they will all be synchronized one after another.
However, if you click the START button it is possible to have several slots synchronizing at the same time.

Sync for iTunes is fully scriptable so you can perform any action using Apple Script.
For example to schedule the synchronization of a slot you can create a Calendar Alarm using the Automator.
Setting it to run the Apple Script:

tell application "Sync for iTunes"
resume slot 1
queue slot 2
queue slot 3
end tell

will create a Calendar event that will synchronize your slot 1 and then slot 2 and 3.
