Hi all,
Having a bit of bother with music on the phone. I was looking to rename a track (artist, song and album) I had on the phone, but could not find any way of doing it, does anyone know how I can do this on the phone?
Next, figured I could do it via LG PC Suite and add some music at the same time. Connected to the suite no problem, everything else works (photos, video, calender) but when I click on the Music tab, the suite keeps loading and eventually crashes. Anyone else had this problem or know a solution?
If I can't fix this, anyone know another music browser I can use to see what music is on the phone and allow me to transfer files?
Cheers

You can't do that with the stock music player. I use Poweramp from the market and you can edit every tag with it but its not free. I'm sure you can find a music player on the market that is better than the stock one, does what you want and its also free.
Sorry I don't use PC Suite.
Thanks, I'll purchase that or an equivalent.
Anyone know how I can fix LG Suite or an equivalent program I can use to manage music between my computer and phone?
Why not just mount the sd card and use your Windows Explorer (or Max/Linux equivalent) to just copy the music to your phone? You can just make maps on your internal or external sd card and the music will be added to your library automatically.

Hi there,
Is there a way to force windows media not to update a library with a certain folders music, I have loads of music I want separate from my Windows Media library. I don't want to go through the library deleting music I don't want there every time I update it since its a bit of a pain.
E.G: My music located on the storage card I want to update into the library. But I don't want Misc Music also contained in My Music to update to the library.
I am using WM6 on T-Mobile MDA Vario II. If this is not possible are there any workarounds?
Thanks in advance

Not any that i know of, but i would really like to know... i have all my music on my memory card but the ringtones are still on the phone, and since wmp finds the ringtones it starts with the phones media library as standard, i dont like changing it at every start up
I have the same problem. I want to random play all my songs on my storage card, but I really want to exclude my audiobook/radio drama files!
Yet I also want easy access to play those files when required!
So, if I can set media player to exclude some album/genre in the "play all" option, I will be happy! Is it too much to ask for???
Yeah, REALLY annoying problem! Specially in combination with the m2d music tab.. Hope anyone finds a way to exclude specific folders.. (pm me if u found it?)

Bumping this back up this list. Does anyone know a way to do this with the htc windows mobile music player???
Is there ANY other program you can use to sync songs to a TP besides WMP? I've been using WMP, but it keeps on making random duplicates of all my songs, and it's REALLY annoying.
I would greatly appreciate any advice.
Oh and I don't want to just drag+drop, I would like some sort of program.
Thanks.
i agree i moved from a iphone and i got to say its annoying, the way windows mobile phones organize music, and when i use windows media player mobile to update my library it seaches the entire device and grabs even system sounds.
Hmm, I just put my microsd card into my computer and dump all the music I want to listen to (mp3, flak, ogg, what ever) into the music folder to play with the built in player / core player.

How is drag and drop ANY more difficult than a program?

Well at least with WMP I can see my music in a "library" setup, as opposed to just opening my music folder which has thousands upon thousands of subfolders. It's just much easier for me (at least the way my music folder is setup) to use a program such as WMP.... but WMP sucks. That is why I am asking for an alternative to WMP.

Thats exactly what I do and it works like a charm. It is easier than using a program in my opinion. Are you doing something wrong? is it giving you trouble moving the files to the microSD card?
When I start Winamp and have my phone plugged in, it detects it and asks if I want to use it to manage my music on the phone. Winamp has a great name out there, maybe it oculd be useful.
I also used Yahoo Music Engine at once point and that worked great, like itunes. I think that whole deal is still around too, albeit Yahoo music has changed a bit, the app was called Yahoo Music Engine.
I have not tried sync with WM11. There must be a simple option or something you are missing. Perhaps it has to do with Media Player on WM6 and the library function. If you scan the device and organize the library to ignore your Windows folder then it probably won't be a problem on the WM11 side.
Does that make any sense?
WM11 is simple drag and drop; the problem is that when it loads music onto your Phone/SD card it puts it into the file structure Artist/Album/Track based off id3 tags. So if your music is improperly tagged or if you have more than one copy of a song like an album and a compilation album you'll end up with duplicates.
Personally I just wipe out the Music folder on my SD card every 2 weeks or so and dump a new playlist onto it. You can use the WMP sort function in the playlist to eliminate any duplicates before you copy them over. You can still add to the card later and it won't reinstall the same file so long as it's not a duplicate on your desktop like I mentioned above.
As for getting rid of ringtones showing up in your library on your phone I use Pocket Player for my MP3 player and it has an "Exclude Directory" option on it so it will only update from the SD card music folder.
Did Wm4 or CE or whatever handle music?
So that whole development time while WM5 was on market and ipod appeared, was MS just sitting there saying, "Well these are business devices let's focus on getting four Excel cells to show up on this ****tay 320x240 screen instead"
Great.
And the even funier part is the new Blackberry virtualization occurring over WM6. If they were so good at business apps then why is this occurring, HELP ME UNDERSTAND hahahhaha
This was all tongue in cheek utterance from a bewildered fan of MS and their spastic roll outs!!!!!
I used to be able to do this with pocketplayer in windows mobile. I just got an android phone today (G1, old but much better than my even older phone) and I wanted to be able to stream my music library to my phone. I already have the means to stream it to anything else using edna (http://edna.sourceforge.net/), which I managed to run as a service in the background.
The idea was to be able to access my music library on the phone's browser and then have it open the generated .m3u file using a music player. But I have yet to find a single music player for Android that can do this except maybe this app called "Just Playlists", which doesn't really work at all unless I download the playlist first. And it won't do that, it automatically opens them with the program.
So, I'm thinking of downloading subsonic to use as an mp3 server, but the thing is that I feel that it's unnecessary to have two mp3 servers running at a time. The only benefit is having it on my phone, but otherwise I can just use edna on another device, like a computer, and open the playlist files with VLC or Winamp.
Another problem I ran into with Just Playlists is that it won't preload the song titles/artists for the songs, so I'll be looking at the full URL waiting for it to scroll by so I can pick a song. This is if it works at all.
So, help? Anyone know of any apps?
Using CIFS to mount music shares
I've actually been trying to do a similar thing. I've been using cifs to mount my music folder onto my Desire. It seems like a slightly easier way to get access to the files than using edna, especially because it doesn't require any extra software.
I have been struggling to find a decent music player than can easily handle such a large volume of files. I'm using Winamp Beta for my music and whilst I can play files, I need to use a file browser to find the files I want to play.
I also can't find a way of playing the m3u playlists I have stored on my computer. I've used Audio Galaxy and this has the same problem (unless you're using iTunes). Subsonic has better support but it's pretty expensive.
has anyone found a working soultion for this yet? I have a set of m3u and pls files which are saved URL's of online radio stations, some from shoutcast, some from other sources that on Windows Mobile I used GS Player to listen to
Just Playlists seems to come the closest out of any apps I've tried to working but either gives me an unexpected error message when trying to open the file or it looks like it has opened it but I get no playback.
I've tried StremFurious, VLC S&C and I think one or two others but no luck yet, curious if others have a solution
thanks!
Hey people,
I'm having issues syncing playlists from my computer to my phone.
Been searching all over the net for a proper solution but no luck with this.
Here's my issue;
Basically when i sync playlists from my PC to my phone, it saves the playlists on my phone as .PLA format.
Now the only player that actually reads those playlists is my stock player.
I have tried several android players, but non of them will recognize the playlists.
On my PC for syncing i have tried
-WMP
-Winamp
-MediaMonkey
-DoubleTwist
All of these create playlists in PLA format on my device when transferring them, which wouldnt be a problem if i wanted to use the stock player.
As for android apps/media players i have tried:
-Cubed
-Winamp
-Mort Player
-Media PlayerPro
-Mixzing
-Astro Player
When i create a playlist using any of the apps on my phone, every other app is capable of reading them.
However, the playlist file can not be found on my phone, or my SD card. so i have no clue what format they are saved to, or where they are saved too.
I'm basically looking for a way to transfer my playlists from my computer to my android phone, and have the other apps actually read the playlists.
The phone im using is the Samsung Galaxy S.
Been trying to work this out for days now, but with no success what so ever.
So if there is anyone that has a clue on how to get this done properly, id appreciate it.
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

Try double twist player
Apollo, walkman,poweramp,musicmx
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
