Hi, I want to plug my ipod into the USB on my dock so that I can play the music on it... from some sort of catalogue. The Music on an iPod is stored in random folders for example ipod_control\music\b0\ and the file names are random within that directory. Does anyone know of a play app that will scan an external drive for music and make it available to play in some for of interface that will group all the correct songs back into their albums? For example winamp on the PC will do this for you. I have tried winamp for android, but it does not do this
Thanks

Is there a way for all music in Play Music to be automatically selected for offline listening?
What I want is a way to copy music files to my SD card automatically without plugging it into my computer. In my perfect world, when I get one new song (on my computer), I want it to just put it in the My Music folder (on my computer) and have it sync to a Music folder on my devices Ext SD card the next time my device has a data connection. After that, Play Music (or whatever media player I'm using) would just see it as a new file and import it into my Library. If I have to open an app or push a "sync" button that's fine, but I would prefer it be automatic.
Something like Google Drive would work great if I could just assign folders to sync rather than having a "Google Drive" folder and only syncing what is in there. And "cloud storage" is not completely necessary, just store it in the cloud long enough to sync to my other devices.
Google music already automatically imports music from My Music (on my PC), it would be perfect if it automatically made all that music available offline on my phone and tablet.
Is there any app or solution that would help me?
I am often in areas where there is no data connection, so the internet streaming that Play Music offers is not quite enough for me.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
Hello everyone!
I am looking for a Music app for my Galaxy S6. I have been researching for a very long time now, and still haven't found the solution, so I thought I'd try getting help from XDA.
-I want to be able add music to a folder on my PC and have that folder wirelessly synchronized with my phone's music folder for offline listening.
-I want to have a desktop version of the app that I can use to manage playlists on my PC and have the playlists wirelessly synchronized with my phone too.
I have tried Google Play Music but it seems to have trouble when there are subfolders or when a certain file is corrupted. It ends up not uploading all my music.
Does anyone have any recommendations for me?
Poweramp

I looked into it, but I found that it didn't have a desktop version that I could use to manage my playlists on PC, and I can't wirelessly synchronize either

sync not available
Hey, half a year ago, I asked myself the same question and I finally found the perfect Player for my and your needs: Google play music. There is also a program for your Desktop which syncs automatically whenever u add music to specific folders. The new Songs are shown on recently added in the app and u can add these Songs to playlists and listen to them offline. If u add Songs on another device to your playlists, they will be downloaded automatically on every device.
Have fun!
Ps: The playlists can be saved on your sd card on your phone. Whenever you delete a playlist on your sd card, it will stillstill be available online to be downloaded. Simple as that, it's like Spotify for your own library
I am coming from a custom Ipod Classic, I have a huge library of music and now that my new phone (HTC 10) accepts big micro sd cards and 256gb cards are starting to come out I am looking to transition over to my phone as my main MP3 player.
I am looking for something that will let me easily mange my large library, I would like to be able to only view specific directories that I choose so other audio files that are on my phone that aren't part of my library aren't lumped into my collection.
Also while I have you, on my PC I use Itunes to play my music locally and obviously this is how I put songs on my Ipod, is there an alternative program I can use instead of Itunes now on a Windows PC to play my music and maybe even manage the music on my phone?
Hi, I have been a lifelong Apple user and recently decided to switch to Android as I pre-ordered the new Samsung Galaxy S10. I am wondering how I can transfer my iTunes Library to Android and have looked on the internet on how to do this.
However, most tutorials only show how you can transfer music which you bought in iTunes to Google Play Music. What I like to know is how I can transfer my music in iTunes (which I downloaded from Youtube in mp3 formats and then manually uploaded to iTunes) to an Android music app such as Musicolet. I like to have the same playlists as in my iTunes, and I have all the music files on my computer. Doing this manually would take ages as I have almost 4000 songs. Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

The simplest way is just to copy .mp3 files and playlists directly into /mnt/sdcard/Music and any Android music player should be able to read these files
AirMore
Just look for the directy files of your downloaded music then use this app called AirMore to wirelessly transfer them on your Phone. Using this tool will allow you to selectively choose the files you wish to transfer from PC to your phone and vice versa.
You have all the mp3 files. You can literally connect the S10 to your computer, navigate to the file directory (like how you put a USB in a computer and see all the files), make a folder called music, and drag all the mp3 files to the folder. This is how i've always done it. Every samsung galaxy device has a preinstalled samsung music application, where it allows you to play music. It will automatically pick up all the mp3 files and you will be able to listen to it.
Hello,
The best and simple way is to transfer your music files from PC to Android. To do this you have to just copy iTunes music files to media folder and connect your PC to Android by using USB cable.
However, there are many other different methods which you can get in this article transfer iTunes music to Android phone.
Create a new folder on your desktop.
Copy the music files to transfer into the new folder.
Connect your Samsung to your computer with a USB cable. You may need to adjust your phone settings to transfer files via USB.
I haven't figured out how to change my username since I decided I like iPhone better than Android.
I want to copy my personal music collection onto my iPhone but when I tried to at the library by connecting the mp3 player and the iPhone to separate USB cables to the Windows computer, it wouldn't let me and later I found out from Apple that there is a restriction where you have to use iTunes. Because I don't have my own computer at home I was wondering if there are any alternatives, and someone at the Apple Store suggested that syncing the mp3s with iTunes may still not allow the playback of the mp3s if they weren't specifically purchased through Apple Music.
So what would be a good alternative way to transfer my music collection onto the iPhone? I tested a web-site in Google Chrome that is a YouTube to mp3 converter called "mp3 juices" that allows you to download audio from YouTube into mp3 files. It worked on iPhone and I was able to import mp3s into a music player app called the Audius Music Player. Since the Audius Music Player works in this way, I suppose I could copy all 12 GB of my music collection onto Google Drive and than download the songs one by one and than import them into the Audius Music Player app but I think this may be rather tedious to click to download on each individual song until I downloaded 12 GB of music. Also the free version of Audius Music Player says it has limits so I don't know if there would be a limitation on the amount of music that can be downloaded.
Would there be a way to save all the music album folders and files into one large zip file and unzip the music files onto the iPhone?
Another suggestion mentioned to me by someone is the VLC media player, but VLC on iPhone requires iTunes to sync the music into VLC media player and so I may want to get away from having to deal with iTunes.
Lol, I thought everything was easy on iPhones...
Try this.
Meh, I've used iPhones for work and I'll take my N10+'s over them any day.
DRM sucks... you are now part of the machine.

You have to use iTunes. Don't have a computer? Get one. IPhones don't behave like android, it's either iTunes or you don't. They are more locked down.
