Musicbee can pull your songs and playlists from itunes and allow syncing of them to your phone. It doesn't do streaming though.

To what app in the phone? Does it keep playlists?

It adds it to local folders so you can pretty much use any music player app you want. I like personally like poweramp. I just add the directory with my playlists which are .m3u and it they just pop up

The problem for me is that my music is arranged around "smart playlists". My music library would be unmanageable if I had to add every song to playlists manually.

Ah, then musicbee might not be for you. I've managed my own songs for at least a decade the old fashioned way so it was easy to import and move my songs around to other forms of media apps. You can however copy and paste the Playlist from iTunes to musicbee. You don't have to manually add all the songs to the playlist from your library.
