When it comes to managing music, pictures, apps, and other stuff on your iPhone or iPod then iTunes plays an important role. I loved the iTunes user interface and its features. I was using Vista and iTunes worked perfectly on it but one fine day I had to format my C drive for some reason and I forgot to backup the playlists, library and other stuff. After reinstalling the operating system I realized that when I tried to Sync my iPhone I couldn’t. If I would try to do so it would prompt me to erase everything in the phone! This really got me onto my nerves. I tried some tricks over the web which allow you to sync an iPhone with different computers but unfortunately none of them worked.
This made me search for something like iTunes which would function similarly but wouldn’t delete my existing data even if I try to Sync with another pc. While searching I came across the ‘iPhone PC Suite’ which was available freely.

iPhone PC Suite allows you to create/delete playlists, play music/video off your iPhone on the PC, copy movies from PC to iPhone, manage photos, manage apps, etc. It requires your iPhone/ iPod Touch to be jail broken in order to make it work. It comes in a self extracting package and hence you don’t need to install it, just extract it to a particular folder and hit the ‘iPhone PC Suite.exe’. When you’ll run it for the first time it will prompt you to install ‘phone daemon’ on your iPhone. Just click ok and restart your iPhone and place it back on the dock and proceed. That’s it now you should be able to access your phone directory, manage images, manage playlists and songs, add and delete different items, etc. Don’t forget to update iPhone PC Suite every time by going to the start button of the program and selecting ‘Check update’.
NOTE: Unfortunately if you’re on 2.2.1 firmware then you won’t be able to add new songs and videos as 2.2.1 firmware isn’t supported yet. But there’s a better solution which allows you to manage playlists and songs on Winamp. I’ll write about it soon.
