iTunes has a feature where you can sync your entire library and downsample it to 128kbps to conserve space on your iPhone.

The reason this feature is perfect for me is because my music library is over 300gbs of FLAC music, and my phone has 120gb.

I’d use this feature, but the thing is iTunes only supports their proprietary lossless codec, ALAC. My entire library is in FLAC, and I’m not gonna convert it to ALAC just to use iTunes.

The only time I’m listening to music with my phone is when I’m out of the house with my AirPods, and since AirPods are Bluetooth I really don’t care about the bitrate, I just need to fit my whole library on my phone and conserve space, which is why I want to downsample it on my phone.

Is there another program that can do the exact same thing as iTunes sync but without iTunes?

I just need it to sync to a folder on my phone, not to iTunes on my phone.

Thanks.
