If you too, have a WIFI sync story to share, go for it.
Sometimes in 2005(?) when WIFI SYNC was announced, I had this great idea of using an old iPod, permanently mounted in the car, and at night, when the car is parked in the garage, it will automatically communicate with my desktop PC, where my iTunes library is, and BAM! fresh stuff to listen to the next day during my commute. And with my programming skills and a few scripts, it will be fully automatic as God intended.
But everybody know by now WIFI SYNC is been a duh. I got it going where with a couple of human interventions, it worked 70% of what I need it to do, but not enough to realize my original dream.
Fast forward to today, 2022, I put extra effort on my scripts trying to go around iTunes' idiosyncrasies. It still requires me to sync TWICE to get the stuff in, I still have to fire up the scripts manually, because somehow firing them up from the scheduler doesn't work. Oh dear.
I hear Apple has a new thing now to replace iTunes, but I have not played with it, it requires me to buy a new Mac and obsoletes my perfectly fine Windows hardware. Apple, you win. Not quite the just-work promised.
