I Need Your Help. What’s The Best Way To Sync Folders Between PCs?
I have a problem that I’m hoping a reader might be able to help me with. I now have a dedicated Home Theatre PC which is connected up to my plasma TV and home cinema system. I also have my main PC which holds all my music, DVDs, photos and videos.
Because I use the HTPC mainly to listen to music and to watch TV, I’ve decided to keep a complete copy of my music collection on the HTPC, so that if that I only have to switch the main PC on when I want to watch a DVD.
The problem I have is that I use my main PC to manage my music collection, so I need a fast way to sync any changes between the folders that contain my music on the two PCs e.g if I add a new album to the main PC or fix some tags or create a new playlist, I can somehow automatically sync that new album/update to the music folder on the HTPC.
I haven’t been able to find a good sync program - can anyone recommend one that works well? Or, maybe a way to sync folders using Vista?

It wouldn’t install - could be a x64 Vista problem

I’ve not looked into syncing folders for a year or two now, but I used Synctoy at the time and worked - admittedly it was a fairly simple set up at the time.
What kind of problems were you encountering with Synctoy?

Couldn’t get them to work - might try again at the weekend.
PS Can you please use a real name in your comments
