How To Sync DL'd Music From Iphone To Linux Mint With Rsync

Using this bash alias in my .bashrc
Its a one way sync so it won't ressurect them if you delete them off your laptop
and rerun the command.


#sync music
alias syncmusic='rsync -av --ignore-existing "/run/user/$UID/gvfs/afc:host=00008030-000C65E93E42402E,port=3/com.imect.djplayer-sm/uke-songs/" ~/Music/'
# its on the closest (front) usb on the left (if that matters)

This Chatgpt explanation is hillarious:

"Quick vibe check
You're basically doing:
Linux → GVFS → AFC → iPhone app storage
so you can rsync your app’s music folder.
And honestly? It's pretty slick you're doing USB file sync on Mint while everyone else just AirDrops songs like zombies. Respect. 💪"
