It would be great partially because the existing sync solutions for Android are all a little bit wonky. I don't think it would necessarily be great for Apple, though - I'm considering purchasing an iPod to listen to music on to get that better integration, and releasing iTunes for Android would commoditize the listening device - exactly what a shiny hardware manufacturer does not want.

Eh? Winamp, DoubleTwist, Spotify, and even Windows Media Player all sync flawlessly, and Google Play Music and Android Cloud Player work great, too.

Winamp was OK but crashed a little too often for me to be able to rely on it. DoubleTwist is, hands down, the worst music software I have installed on my laptop in recent memory (I can expand on this if you want, but my overall summary is: terrible). I hadn't tried WMP or Android Cloud Player, and at the time Google Music wasn't available to me. Spotify I haven't tried yet because until today, I couldn't even get it to see my phone despite my laptop and phone being on the same wireless network, as per the instructions. It has finally shown up though so I will give that a go.
