I'm searching for a straightforward way to sync MP3 music files between my Windows PC, iPhone, and iPad. There are a few requirements I have:
- I don't want to create any accounts.
- I'd prefer to avoid cloud services like Google Drive or iCloud.
- No subscriptions involved.
- Ideally, it should sync automatically or close to it.
- The method should work over a local network or via cable.
In essence, I'd love to find something that functions similarly to how iTunes used to manage music syncing but with a more modern and user-friendly approach. I really don't want to set up any server solutions like Plex or anything overly complicated. Is there an app or a setup that meets these needs? If not, what's the next best option?

A simple fix would be using a cable to transfer files. Just copy and paste the MP3s directly to your devices. It’s straightforward and doesn’t require any apps or complicated setups, though it can be a bit manual.
Hey, it sounds like you might want to check out SyncThing. It can sync any files you choose, including music, and it works locally. Plus, it doesn't need accounts or cloud services—sounds right up your alley!
Does SyncThing work on iPhone too?
