[Q] Is there a good Playlist manager out there? - TG01 Themes and Apps

Season's Greetings!
I've been looking for a good playlist manager for WM6.5. I'm using Playlist_Manager_build_103006.cab and just tried PlaylistMaker.exe, both lacking. Isn't there one where you can click on a folder and it will automatically add all the songs in that folder and its subfolders? I have 16GB of tunes on my TG01 and manually creating a list of all tunes is a pain. Also, many times Playlist Manager will create a list, but then it will have errors and/or is non-editable later. I can't believe there's not a good playlist manager out there for WM phones. If you know of a good one please respond.
Thanks & Merry Christmas!

or a simple way, without using a program...just convert any mp3 somg that you like into wav files and after that you copy it into windows files.
Yes and one file MP3 -3mb transformed to wav 40 mb

It's no need to convert it in wav.Mp3 format is also fine: just copy it in windows folder.

G-Alarm
The application that i like to use on my TG01 is G-alarm. I think i got it off the marketplace.
anyway you pay £5 one time only and then its yours, ive also managed to re-install it onto other phones i have using my key.
this is by far the best alarm which you can set to ask you upto 16 questions to switch it off
just a good idea so you dont go back to sleep or forget
and just to add to this, referring back to your mp3s, G-alarm will be able to use them as long as they are saved onto your SD card!

[REQ] MP3 Tagger

I thought I had made a thread for this a while ago, but can not find it. Sorry if its a repost.
What I was wondering is whether or not someone who had an app, or the skilz to make an app, that can take a sample of an mp3/wma/ogg/flac/etc file, match it on say shazam or something then update the ID3 tag with the pulled info. With the option for it just to rename them automatically, or ask for your approval of changes. Much like how Album Art Grabber gets your artwork for you on mass, with little or no manual intervention. This would be great for a few reasons.
I have been finding myself using mp3 download apps on my phone a lot now, more so than my comp and these files are usually incomplete at best. a way to get these, then run this app to fix discrepancies would be awesome!
Its not that I'm lazy, I just have 10+ years of tunes on my external and a lot of them didn't get tags back in the day. Plus after that long, uploads, downloads, 4 computers, iTunes (ARGH!!! I HATE ITUNES!!!!!!) renaming and reorganizing have some in a mess. So when I transfer them, they usually all show up unknown, null, or DGOI.mp3. And renaming & tagging 1000s of songs one by one is not how I want to spend a week.
Hope this sparks an idea, or someone can point me in the direction of one that already exists. I'm sure one does for a PC, but I don't use mine for media other than movies. My phone is my music machine. If a PC solution is the only way so be it.
I don't know of an app that can do this but maybe someone could take the method that the app ,"MP3 Download", uses. First you search for a song and can preview then you can choose to download it. Once you have downloaded it you can goto edit tags and it has a download button... I don't know what database it uses or how it is configured but it will give you album art and is usually correct. I think it has to have the album name though.
Thanks! I'll try that on there, and my old iMusic Tao apk I still have.
Mixzing pro can do this

[Q] How do I backup android media playlist?

Whenever I install new rom, I have to lose all my precious playlists. What's the location of playlist files?
Export Android Created Playlists To PC

So this PlayQ can you import and export (backup/restore) playlists? If so, that's probably what the OP is looking for. Not a way to use his Android playlists on his PC. Although I doubt he wants to buy this Merdian Player in order to export playlists. I suspect it's just data somewhere, but where would be the question.
Has anyone worked out where these are stored?
I have been googling forever and all I read is people
a) Saying where music is stored
b) Saying where m3u files etc... are stored.
It's obvious that the playlists are stored in a database somewhere I just want to know where it is so I can look at it and see what sort of information is stored for songs and playlists.
Android Playlist/s Backup Tutorial
Hi everyone,while playing around with the instructions given by diddy47 on the blog site kundaistreet,I discovered how to backup your playlist on your sd card using a combination of 3 apps from the android market and part of the instructions given by diddy47. Apps required are Androzip,Meridian Player and SDMount,they are all free apps and no purchase required to download.This process seems long but its unreal simple,(1)Dowload all apps as stated above,(2)Go to your android stock player and create a playlist of your liking, if you already have a playlist made then on to the next step,(3)As diddy47 described in first part of post, "desregard the part about export to pc",
"In Meridian Player
•Long press on the playlists you want to export to PC, a pop up menu appears
•Select export to playQ
•choose the appropriate name
•choose audio type
•Export as many playlists as you like using procedure above.Navigate to folder PlayQueues using Androzip,it would be stored on your sd card.
Inside will be all your playlist that you exported to playQ in .mpq format not .m3u" Select any of the created playlist/s created and change the file extention name to "m3u", please note all that is being changed are the words and or numbers after the (dot.) (4)Exit Androzip, proceed by making SDMount a widget on your home screen,select, it would refresh saying in the notification bar "Your SD card has been scanned and remounted, SD Media Remounted" 'please note if you unmount your SD through the settings menu you will have to remove your SD card and put it back into device'.(5)Revert to stock media player,go to playlist and there you should find the name of your playlist/s made.You may see 2 of the same named playlist/s but that proves that it was backed up on the sd card.
Thank you for this opportunity, all credit goes out to kundaistreet for the blog site and diddy47 for his tutorial.
any alternative ?
thx for the solution but , its sad but true , this is a basic function i think it should be here already instead of making us looking for this for hours thru the web.
but isnt there any easier method ? dont want that much of apps just for a simple task (exporing playlist)
Here is what I had to do
I have a Samsung Epic 4g backed up with ClockworkMod, and lost the playlist after installing new ROM. Here is what I had to do to get my playlist back.
Extracted my data.img backup to my PC with unyaffs found here:
Code:
jiggawatt.org/badc0de/android/index.html
I knew my playlist name, so I scanned the extracted files and found it here:
C:\Temp\extraced data.img\data\com.android.providers.media\databases\external-99773e78.db
I then used SQLiteStudio to open external-99773e78.db.
Code:
sqlitestudio.one.pl
Ran the below SQL to generate my playlist.
Code:
select
_data
from
(
select name, _data, play_order
from
(
select
am._data
,ap.name
,apm.play_order
from audio_playlists ap
join audio_playlists_map apm on
ap._id = apm.playlist_id
join audio_meta am on
apm.audio_id = am._id
where ap._data is null
)
union
select name, '#EXTM3U ' || name as _data, -1 as play_order
from
(
select ap.name
from audio_playlists ap
where ap._data is null
)
order by 1,3
)
Exported the result set to a text editor (used PSPad), and created m3u's by copy/paste method. Then moved the m3u files to my SD card. When Android did its media scan it pick up the playlist, but for some reason I can't maintain the play list order. Playlist order was not a priority for me, so I stopped here.
If anyone tries something similar and maintains their playlist order, please post a reply
Thanks
You can backup playlists to .m3u8 files via BlueMuze
Full disclosure: it's my app, but the playlist backup feature is in the free unlimited trial.
Hopefully that's not too promotional -- not trying to run afoul of forum rules here, but I think it's what you're looking for.

That's the proper way to do it. I just ran into a user who decided to pimp his app in a competing app's very first post.
What you did, in my opinion, is just fine; honest and transparent.
Bluemuze is perfect!
1) backup the playlist.
2) open with notepad++
3) replace /sdcard/ with C:\*path to copy of MP3 folder *
4) rename file to .m3u
Done! Very very simple to do.

Or use Meridian Player (best media player I've come across) to create a "playQ" playlist. this is an independent file as opposed to a database. there are a few steps involved but you can copy the "play Q" file (which has a .mpq extension) to your computer. this file can then be converted to a .m3u file fairly simply. Use Notepad++ to open the .mpq file.
01. Delete all characters before the first instance of "localAudio id"
02. Replace all (" /><) with (\r\n) without the parenthesis. \r\n moves the text to the next line, make sure to select extended mode
03. replace all (LocalAudio id="/mnt/sdcard/Music/) with (D:\Music\) or wherever the music is
04. replace (&) with (&) - there seems to be an error with the & symbol
05. delete "\Items><\PlayQ>" at the end
Here is a link to the original post from where I got the information. I did have a different experience then what is shown here, but very useful:

Hey alostpacket! Your app seems perfect for me, only I'm running ICS on my G2 and using the default app Apollo for my music and BlueMuze isn't picking up the playlists I've created. Also BlueMuze crashes whenever I try to view my music from within it. Any advice?
I've found a playlist backup app on the play store

You can find the answer in this thread. Read it:

Or if you want to share your list of songs from your favorite playlists, you can use this app:

I actually figured out another way. It's a pain but it works fine for me. Thanks!

[Q] Focus S: Custom Ringtones not working, help!

I have a new Samsung Focus S, and I am having the hardest time trying to get a custom ringtone on the phone.
I have followed all the instructions that are out there, have an MP3 (non-DRM) file that is 37 seconds long, 500kb in size and have the 'Genre' set to "ringtone" (and I even tried "Ringtone"). When I sync it over to my phone, it doesn't show up on my ringtones list in Settings -> Ringtones.
Please advise. Thanks.
I think I might have an answer, I have also noticed that some ringtones will show up while others don't and end up in your music collection instead of your custom ringtones. From what I've seen WMAs work better than MP3s for some reasons as far as ringtones. I also seems to depend on how they were converted or if they are encrypted. Try to deploy a few of these see if they work.
Thanks for the reply- sorry for the delay, but I finally got a chance to play around with this.
When I create WMA files instead of MP3 files, it works perfectly. Whoever is having issues as well, try creating WMAs, i'm sure you'll get the same positive results.
Thanks again.

Go to where the ringtones you crated sit on your computer via Zune, find them and right click on on one of them and then choose edit, set the genre to "Ringtone" and re-sync. You'll have to do one ringtone at a time.
