[Q] Music transfer + converting? - Android Apps and Games

Does anyone know of an app that will transfer music files wirelessly, from computer to phone, while at the same time converting it to a different format?
My dream is to scroll through my desktop's music directory on my phone and select music to copy to my phone. I'd like it to then convert the music files from .flac to .mp3 on my desktop and then transfer them to my phone. I would then be able to use any android music player to play the selected files.
Subsonic does this to a certain degree but the files that transfer over don't seem to like to be played in other music players.
TL: DR looking for an app that will transfer music files wirelessly, from computer to phone, while at the same time converting the files to .mp3

"My TV" in Media Player

How do you get files to show up in the "My TV" area in media player? I've tried renaming video files with all kinds of extensions but nothing works.
Answer
Your need windows media center edition then you can transfer your recorded tv. You might be able to convert mpg or avi to either dvr-ms or wtv then use Windows media player to sync it with your phone.
Thanks sandrobber. So are you saying that I can't just change the extension to say "wtv or dvr-ms" and have media player update the library and have it be in there? I would have to use Media center to transfer the files over? Lets say I did that and the file is transferred to the phone and everything is okay. Lets say the file is named "conan.wtv". If I reset my phone or wanted to move that file to another phone can't I just copy that file to the new phone and have media player do a library update and it be in there?

Audio Formats: M4A plays in Sound Player but not Music Player?

So basically it appears that while Android itself supports M4A (If I browse to the file with My Files and play it, it'll play with Sound Player), the Media Player App does not see these files.
This is crazy as even Samsung's own specs state the Media Player should play these files: http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=558&AT_ID=304018
Why, and how can I work around this?
Music player won't see anything until Media scanning founds it. Music player uses media library, not files and folders, to locate music files. Currently, only media scanning tool updates the media library in addition to Media Player USB mode.
So, how do you get your m4a file to the phone? There are three ways to trigger media scanning:
1. Power up the phone
2. Use USB Mass Storage mode and when you unmount or disconnect USB drive
3. Use an app to manually trigger media scanning.
Triggering media scanning isn't my problem... After I transfer the M4A to my phone and turn off USB Storage Mode it'll kick off.
That said, for anyone that needs to do this...
Get the Media Monkey Trial (or buy it, it's a great freaking software that'll tag everything, rename files, etc). Add a column for "type", and sort by type. This will group all your mp4, aac, mp3, etc together. Select all your mp4 and anything else you want to convert and under the tools menu there is options to convert to a different format (mp3).
I just did this.
Or just rename the file extension to .mp3 works most of the time.

[Q] music files changing from .mp3 to .3ga when downloading from my computer

Was just wondering if anybody else has had any problems with transferring music files from their pc to their note 10.1 via local network. I have transferred a few albums and they seem to be changing to Samsung's .3ga file format even though they were originally .mp3 or .aac in windows media.
Thanks

Mate 7 Missing Music Files

Hi,
Every time I copy music files (.mp3, etc) from my computer to the internal storage of the Huawei Mate 7, the Music player can't find any of the music files. I tried transferring to the device's Music folder and Audio folder to no avail -- the Music Player still can't find them. Manually tracking it in the file folder reveals all music files are stored though. But the Music player app keeps on saying "0 music files".
Am I just missing something or do I need to sync it first? Or do I need to use the Huawei Desktop Suite software so the music player recognizes all relevant files?
Thanks

Have you try with another player like PowerAmp or Neutron ? Normally in preferences you can specify in which folder your music is stored.

Thank you sir, I downloaded PowerAmp & Neutron and both were able to automatically track the music files. I wonder why the native music player (or even Google Play Music) doesn't do that automatically.

Transferring downloaded Music from iTunes to Android

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.

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.
