Standard music player can't find mp3 unless I go to root explorer and locate it directly. It will play in root explorer via the standard music player, but then there's no option to add it to the playlist, etc. It's in the same folder as 2 other mp3s that are located on the external SD card, which play. Also, when I try to make it a ringtone, it won't locate it either. Any suggestions? I compared all the details on itunes and it says that it's encoded by itunes and the other 2 aren't. Can that be something? Thanks.

how can i get the music in my itunes to properly play in my htc inspire. ? should i download an alternative music player or do i have to format my music
You can always use doubletwist download from market and onto your computer...it is almost like iTunes but for android

If the Music is in the Itunes format mpa? or something like that you can get an Itunes alternative software like http://www.getsharepod.com/ and rip the music off yer iphone back to Mp3.
The stock music player will play iTunes (AAC/m4a) files. Just copy the files directly to your SD card. The default directory is sdcard/media/audio/music.
My files are on the root directory of the SD card in a file called 'Music' and it had no problem finding them.
Sign up for googles music beta and upload your music then stream them on your phone and save your space on your sd card.

idk about that music beta it seems like a great idea but it takes forever in a day to U/L any music if your over 4gs I could be wrong.
Like some of the other post talk about double twist is good for that also their is a app called ISync seems like it will also do the trick..
For me I just save them to the Pc as Mp3s and drag n drop I hated using Itunes.
Google Music uploads from your PC/Mac, so it will use your home internet connection not your phone's. Your phone will just stream the music from Google's servers. Probably the easiest way I've found to "have" all of my iTunes music on my HTC.
WinAmp. Supports iPods and Android Phones... And all of Apple's formats.
In addition to mentioned above, there is an app by DoubleTwist that allows over the air syncing with iTunes and your music folders, if that is what you want. Just search doubleTwist in the market and the app should come up.
it's a pretty simple question. I have my ringtones (mp3) on my sd-card, now I added some (~4 GB) of music in another folder. All i want now, is a music-player, that excludes the ringtones-folder and only shuffles the music-folder.
I tried "instinctiv" and "music player pro", but both INCLUDE the ringtone folder.
Does anyone know a good player, that plays the music-folder only?
You should try Power Amp, 15 day trial is free in the market. And if you haven't organize things, I have a folder called Media on my SDcard and in there I have Music, Movies, and Audio. I have Notifications and Ringtones inside Audio. Haven't had any problems with ringtones showing up

With PowerAmp you can choose which folders to scan and which not.

Folder based music player = Mort player
try it, simple and awesome
thanks for answers, gonna try both.
All Good including Player Pro with it's widget.
it has that function too.
PlayerPro has a Folder Browser and you can set the Dir you want scanned for Music. I bought It because I am so used to the way my iPhone used to do music. I couldn't live without it (Genre>Artists>Albums). App is worth every penny!
Using stock music play from sensation. I made a folder called Music and dumped all my mp3s in there. Stock music player didnt play all the ringtones and such. Only the mp3s in the created folder.
in your SD card, create a folder "media", in this one create an other folder "notification" and put your ringtones in it.
i did this since the first day and my ringtones never appear in music player hope it will work for you
You can try MyMusicOn Music Player. Can configure it the setting to browse by folder.
MIUI music player works with folder view too. Not sure about the latest versions though..
Very good and simple player.
Hi,
Does anyone know where the Google Music app stores the downloaded music on the sd? I uploaded some music files to my Google Music account and my sensation made it available offline... as i know that means it downloaded the music on my phone.
I'm interested because i'm running on ARHD 3.1.6 with Beats and i want to use the stock music app. I certainly don't want to copy all my music on the sd card once more assuming the Google music app has already done that.
Or one way around, is it possible to use the Beats enhancement in the Google music app?
Thanks in advance

Google music doesn't store anything on your sd card that's the beauty of the program which is why it requires its own music player which acts like YouTube and streams your music. Unfortunately beats is not able to be accessed through a msound enhancer altho I believe that if you set beats on your music app then switch to google music the enhancement remains.

It does save to the SD card
SD/Android/data/com.google.Android.music/
In here you will find a "cache" folder and a "music" folder (music folder is created when you save music for off line use)
Thanks

Thanks, found it. Unfortunatly in that folder the files don't have their original names like "asd fgh - xyz.mp3" , theire stored as file1, file2, file3 etc..
Anyway now i just need a way to make the HTC Music app find them and play them.
Edit: There is a .nomedia file in that folder. Deleted and now i can play them in HTC Music app
nice im bout to do that

Hmm, doesn't seem to have any effect for me - I removed the .nomedia file and opened the music player, waited for it finish scanning my SD card, and the Google music cached songs don't appear. I can tap on the song in ASTRO and play it, but it's impossible to know what's what based upon file names. Wondering if maybe Google Music is stripping all tags from the music files and maintaining those tags independently so you're hooked into their player?

Also selecting the HTC music app to play through file manager still doesn't allow you to set beats audio. I had no luck the say as you Brett

Personally, I just create folders for Music, Photos, Video, Apps, etc on my external SD... that way you can easily move files in and out/backup to another SD card easily.
Plus, if you install Samba Filesharing, you can easily dump music, etc on your external SD over the wireless network. (from Windows, I prefer it this way over Winamp/Doubletwist)
Some music apps allow you to limit/choose which folders are "music". I use PowerAmp and it has this setting.
I have not been able to access any new music added to the phone since the original transfer from my HTC. If I look at the music file when hooked to the computer i can see the files but any music player I have tried to use does not load the new stuff? any suggestions.

Have you tried using poweramp to play three music? You can go in the folder settings and rescan then it should find any music files on the phone.
When you view it connected to the computer, is it located in the music folder?
Can you see it when using a file explorer app on your phone?
