So have been experimenting with sync between the Fire HD and my iTunes. There are several apps that can kind of do this. One is SYNCR. The problem wit these apps is that they are labeled as “sync” which is short for synchronize. But in reality they are a COPY type app. They will copy playlists into the FIRE HD, one way, and they will update one way.

1) if you make a change on the Fire HD it will not echo back to ITUNES
2) if there is a disconnect or error in the sync process the app will not recover.
3) if you have a large collection of songs (like 1000 or more) the app will just take too long.
4) the sync songs and playlists are a duplicate of what may already be in the FIRE HD device. In separate directories. Somehow the existing directories of existing songs are not search and referenced by the sync process. Only songs under the specific sync application are referenced.

Best option is to just create playlist on ITUNES in your Mac or PC and proceed with a one way sync. Knowing that you will have duplicate songs.

Unless others have had different results ?
