Overview
SuperSync keeps your music collection in sync across multiple machines and lets you access your tracks remotely. It can pull music from local drives or iTunes libraries and locates other music servers on your network so your library is always within reach.
Layout and Navigation
The layout is logically arranged but can feel overwhelming at first. The lower portion of the window displays a consolidated list of tracks from every detected library, while the upper area is split into controls for filtering and browsing by genre, artist, and album. It’s easy to find content, though the fixed section sizes make the top area appear cramped.
- Consolidated track list at the bottom for all libraries
- Filter and browse controls (genre, artist, album) at the top
- Import options for iTunes or local hard drives
- Ability to discover other local music servers
Playback, Importing and Backups
SuperSync includes a built-in player so you can preview files during management, but its playback tools are basic — play, stop, and skip. You can import music from iTunes or any connected storage, and it also supports creating a secondary library backup on another computer or an external drive. Devices such as iPods can be used as source libraries.
- Create a backup library on another computer or external disk
- Import music from iTunes or from a hard drive
- Simple playback controls (play, stop, next)
- Support for using an iPod as a music source
Pros and Cons
SuperSync is powerful for keeping collections consistent across devices, but a few usability limitations may affect workflow.
- Strengths: robust synchronization, easy multi-source importing, network discovery of other libraries
- Drawbacks: top section feels crowded due to non-resizable panes, playback features are rudimentary, initial learning curve for newcomers
