How to sync your iPhone with winamp

Winamp is one of my favorite media players for Windows as it is fast and supports multiple audio and video formats like mp3, aac, wav, ogg, midi ,avi,mpeg,asf etc. Its UI is so awesome with simple design and a lot more. So if you are an iPhone or iPhod owner but for some reasons you just do not like iTunes, then Winamp is all you need to sync your device.

Winamp media player can allow you import songs/playlist from iPod/iPhones to your computer and can also allow you to add songs to your iPod/iPhone. I prefer this method to using iTunes as I don’t have to worry about losing my songs when I sync with a different computer. Now let’s see how to sync your iPhone with Winamp media player.
