let me explain the situation a bit:
for a few days now i'm playing with DFT rom on my omnia and one of the good things is, that i now can use a browser with a download-manager (Opera Mobile)..
so i just made up a quick web server on my PC, hooked up folders with mp3s and navigated on it using Opera on my phone..
question is: after i download a .mp3 file off that server, Opera asks me where to put it; i select 'Music' folder and (to-check) with a root-explorer i find my downloaded .mp3 file under ./my documents/my music .. but how do i manage Zune to recognize the file and add to its library? where to put the file?
oh and sorry if it's already been answered but i did not find any useable information..
Zune randomly renames your mp3s when it adds to your phone. The problem you are running into is you can't do what you are wanting to do and have Zune read the file. The file system doesn't work that way. (At least to my knowledge.)
Why not just add the mp3's on your pc through zune so that it syncs everything?
Zune not only renames files when it syncs them to the phone, it also adds them to a database (this is the important thing). Just putting the media file into the correct folder (\My Documents\Zune\Content\...) doesn't work anyhow; the phone's media player won't know the file is there because it won't be in the database.
Thanks for the answers.. Maybe a homebrew music player will solve this in future..

I am sure someone beside me (and the other person which posted in the link below) have the problem of windows media player in WM 6.1 saving the playlist incorrectly by adding "/Playlists/" to the path inside playlist.asx
i.e. the correct path would usually be something like "/Storage Card/Music/mysong.mp3", instead windows media player would save the path inside the playlist.asx as "/Storage Card/Playlists/Music/mysong.mp3"

It doesn't happen all the time but it happens enough that it's annoying that you have to open a txt editor on the phone to delete all the extra "/Playlists" word being incorrectly added to the path of the mp3 files.
Anyone have any solution? Thanks
No one else has this problem? No one else want to confirm that they have this problem also?
I have a problem really similar to this... or may be related.
I have all my music stored in a custom folder structure on my PC. I have created playlists using Windows Media Player... then synced to my HTC Touch Pro 2.
Everything copies over perfectly and all playlists are copied... but when I try to play the playlists, it says it can't find the files?
I opened up the playlists in a text editor and it seems as though the path seems fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
Occasionally, the playlist will play fine!
I'm having the same problem in wm 6.5.5 (touch 2), doesn't have a fix?
Hey guys.
Before id start.
Id like to say that i did do a forum search, and the results were either non, or to many.
So have had no luck with it.
Same for using google, came with things that were not even related to the android app.
Anyway, as far as my question goes.
Would anyone know how i can import playlists to Music PlayerPro?
Using the Galaxy S stock player, i could easily just sync with WMP and have my playlists imported to a /playlist/ folder on my SD Card.
But with this app, im abit clueless.
And manually making playlists on my phone on a 16gb SD card thats full of MP3's is abit...yeah..
Any help/awnsers would be appreciated.
I'm having this issue too... the player seems to be inconsistent with recognizing playlists... I sync with WMP and sometimes it just doesn't stick despite the .pla files being in the proper spot...
If you format your directories the same on your computer and phone you can simply drag and drop the playlist file. If they arent the same, just open your playlist file with notepad++ then find and replace all instances of "c:\music" (or wherever your music is) with "\Storage Card\Music"
im kind of confused as to how this would work.. say if u have mp3s picture and videos on the phone. can you use touchxplorer to access and move these files to different folders?
also with the use of touchxplorer is there some kind of temporary internet file folder? because on wp7 if u try to download a mp3 link off of a hosted site, the mp3 somewhat downloads it plays the song but its not added to the device memory, i havent tested pictures or movie files but im assuming it maybe similiar as well. with touchxplorer is it possible to locate the mp3 that would play from the download link if so where would it be located? and would u be able to add the mp3 to ur library with touchxplorer?
Here is my problem: I am trying to add some WAV files(lossless audio setting) to Zune via a direct copy of the files from an SD card to my PC. The audio files are from a CD that I own and ripped in that particular format. I have instructed Zune to look to a specific folder on the PC for music(the one that contains all of my audio files I would like to transfer to my WP7 device). Zune doesn't see these newly added files(older music files are there as well) and I am at a dead end in what to do to get them onto my phone. Any help is greatly appreciated. FYI-when I try to "Play with Zune" from a right click on the mouse, they won't play in Zune. When I try the same thing with WMP, it plays in WMP...go figure! I would just love to be able to drag and drop to add files to my Focus! Help?!

I would say, Zune doesn't support .wav extension. I recommend to convert it to .mp4 or .wma. Recommend to use some pro editor like Goldwave. Depend on you, but yeah, Zune does not support .wav
I just figured that out after staring at the file association page in the Zune setting. They need to support their own files!

Not a completely bad thing. WMA lossless does sound pretty darn good, sadly though I don't think any "Phone" has the sound processing to let the files sound their best. If you want some damn good audio quality, the Zune HD was pretty much king as far as a SMP.
Hi
I learnt that Mango supports the wma lossless as mentioned in the thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1221284&highlight=lossless
Is that true? Anyone tried?
My act was to drag converted wma lossless with mass storage enabler before mango. However the prob was the tags were wiped off
Would be great if Zune 4.8 supports wma ll
Hello,
I have bought Music from Zune before, but I did so using the Zune Software on the PC. There you get an MP3 file and you can of course do what you want with it including syncing it to a WP7.
I am also aware that you cannot redownload DRM free MP3s so you have to keep your copy safe.
How does this work when you buy Music directly on the phone?
Is there any way to get the files on your PC later so that you can play them on the PC? Does the Zune software allow you to copy music from your phone to your PC?
If so, does this affect the quality? I belive that Zune offer 320kbps files, will those files be downloaded to my phone?
You can simply plugin your device into your PC and sync the music you downloaded with it with Zune. Dunno if it happens automatically, but you can simply right click the file and then choose "copy to my collection". I have two files here that I downloaded directly with the device and then synched it to my PC. Both have a 256kBit bitrate.
U can also use WiFi sync by enabling it in the options in Zune.
Unfortunately, Zune suffers from the same memory leak that plagued WMP, my advice is make CD copies of your music. A plus is when I download from Zune, a copy automatically goes to Windows Media Player on the PC.

Thanks it worked as expected and there was no quality change (320kbps on PC).
