hey all, i converted a few m4p songs to mp3s a few days ago and my phone refuses to play them. i dont know why. ive also tried converting then using an app from the market and they just wont play. could it possibly be that ita due to the fact that i took then from my iTunes library?

It's because it's country music. Lol j/j
There was another thread around here about some music playing & others that wouldn't. You might have to search for that one...I don't remeber the subforum.

Burn the mp3s to cd then import them from the cd. Even if you convert to mp3 it keeps the stupid itunes drm. Atleast that is how I was able to play some music my brother put on my laptop after I lost his and his wifes passwords.
I suggest you to install the Vplayer or ArcMedia to your phone to play the special MP3s. BTW, if you always rent movies from iTunes, you may interest in keeping iTunes rentals forever.

I have been trying to find an app that will allow me to stream music and video's to my phone. I found the GMote app and it worked well for what it is, but it will not play back to my phone any video that isn't .mp4 it seems. AKA - .avi and xvid. Is there some other app that I haven't found that will allow me to steam these to my phone? I did a search through the forums and couldn't really find anything. Thanks in advance.
Bump ^^
Anyone know anything about this or does an app like this just not exist?

Wait for VLC media player

Orb live or plex will do it with a server app installed on the PC. The Android app costs money but the service is fee.

VLC Media player, sort of...

Well Skifta was a damn bust! Only single folders unless you load that CRAP called XMBC on your system and than it's such an awful interface I could not even get a single folder added to the videos.
Has nobody found a good solution for this yet!
Anybody know of a way to play my zune pass music onto my phone? I love my Zune HD, but it can be an inconvinence to carry it around when my phone can already play music.
Depends on the music. If some songs are protected like DRM files, then no. But if you have songs that you know aren't, just drag and drop the songs you want into your SD card.

I used to have the Zune pass and Zune HD. I gave the Zune HD to my gf, and ripped the DRM from all my Zune pass music using Tunebite (search torrents for it), and uploaded it to Google Music (I'll send you an invite if you want). This was a great solution, but it was time consuming to rip and upload my whole library to Google Music. Then every time I downloaded a new album, I'd have to rip it and upload it to the Google Music servers..gets annoying after a while.
So, I just got Spotify. It's only $10 a month and streams all the music you want to your phone. I have an unlimited data plan, so if you're on a newer plan and listen to a lot of music this might not work for you.
Push comes to shove, just use Tunebite to rip the DRM from your Zune music files and then drag and drop them onto your phone.

Anyone know the best way to sync my nexus with iTunes? I've tried double twist and I don't like it as much.
I don't use iTunes, but I hear iSyncr is pretty good.
How dare you mention that program here jus kiddin' ... i dunno never tried it
Winamp should do the trick.
On your PC:
Get the Google Music Manager program (.exe) from Google
Install it to your Windows PC
Set it up and select the option that allows Google Music to sync automatically from itunes.
On your phone:
Download Google Music app and select your gmail account.
After initial sync is finished everything in your itunes will be in the Google Music app.
They will stay synced after that.
I use iTunes agent. It does the trick.
If I use google music I won't have any issues with some of my songs not being on my phone or not being able to play if I'm not in a good data spot will I? I did some research it looks like its a good way to go about I don't have a good media library I didn't wanna sacrific all my phones memory to all music but if I had to I am willing to.
I use isyncr and it works really well it cost a few dollars but good investment and the wifi plugin is a big plus
Just saying Amazon is usually cheaper than the for-mentioned excel spreadsheet music store

If you are on a mac try this one Easy Phone Tunes
Just create a playlist with the music you want to sync, open app, sync DONE
I use iSyncr, tried a few others and once in a while album pictures or info didn't come out the same way they were on iTunes. Gets the job done for me.
Open itunes. Copy all music and drop in music folder on phone.

Does isyncr refresh playlists and remove songs that are not in iTunes library. I hav dragged and dropped in all honesty I like having the playlists from iTunes to I think I'm stuck between Winamp or isyncr.

yea you can set it to delete songs not in the playlist and the playlists do refresh
Right on theres what I've been looking for then. I was excited about google music but it was taking forever to upload my library of only 1535 songs and it'd probably take longer to be on my phone. And I was thinking since its cloud where I don't hav data or lose data the music won't play or it will buffer. That's just what I think anyway
oops double post my bad
try double twist, I use google music and just sync mine to the cloud using Itunes but if you are really apposed to Itunes thats a really good alternative
Im having a same trouble, but my problem is with all the syn with itunes.
The window says its syncronized but if i look in the phone i dont have nothing :S.
Sorry for my bad english.
Use google music. It' s hastle free. You have access to your library, as long as, you have a signal, or you can make songs available off line.

I had been using an ipod to listen to music prior to getting my charge. When i got the charge i coppied music files(mp3) to the data card. Since then i have never been able to get any music player to identify songs correctly with regards to genre.
I've used programs like itag to modify song properties. Also tried modifying properties via windows mass storage. I even tried clearing data from players.
What else can i do?

have you tried Google Play Music or Winamp?
Yup. I've tried both and given up all hope that it'll ever work.

I think a lot of it depends on the info settings for each song. you'll have to edit each song's info. I have read/heard of websites that will clean all of that up for you, but really did not venture too far into that.

Hey guys this is probably a simple question but I can't figure it out. I have an old iTunes acct and want to dump it but I want to transfer all my movies, music and vids first. Now I transfer some videos just fine but some won't transfer, and my movies won't transfer at all? So what do I got to do?

I know that all iTunes movies are protected by DRM and can't be natively played on non-Apple devices/software. Their music was protected, but they stopped doing that a few years ago, so you might have a mixed bag there. I still use iTunes for the AirTunes remote speakers, so I haven't looked into it, but I'm sure there are some ways around this somewhere on the web.
As for your other videos, I'm guessing those were videos you got from other means than iTunes. I'm thinking that they are in a format your device/software doesn't support. You could look into other players to add that support.
