How to sync music from Samsung galaxy phone to computer

You can use MobiKin Assistant for Android to sync music from Samsung galaxy phone to computer easily.
If you are syncing with iTunes then it uploads any static playlists and will update them as you add music to the playlist. It will ignore smart playlists. It will also upload music information such as star ratings. Unfortunately if you delete songs from a playlist or change any song info after it is uploaded Google Play will not make the changes. At least not automatically. The solution is to delete the playlists in Google Play Music and then do another scan and it will upload the list again as new. Not the best solution, but the lists upload fast anyways.
