[Q] Zune software not recognizing all MP3 files?

Hi guys. I am running the Zune software but it will not recognize the MP3s that are above 128kbps MP3 quality. What do I do? Most of my music files are between 192 - 320 kbps. Anyway to fix the software or at least move the files onto my phone other than the Zune software.

I had a very similar problem to this earlier today, what fixed it for me, was instead of letting the Zune software find all my music automatically, I dragged the entire my music folder directly onto the zune software, amazingly it found all of my files then.

Dragged it into what part of the Zune? I have tried dragging and I am not sure where to drag it into.

i never had any problem with any mp3 file
i keep em in an extra folder
added the folder to the zune libary in settings....
from time update the information with zune social tagger

[Q] Music Woes

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.

[Q] What is the experience with itunes on mango?

Hi, I'm thinking about making the switch to windows phone 7 but I have some questions.
If I don't use zune and add music from my iTunes library, will I get the same experience on my wp7 phone, like the artwork in the hubs and artwork on the lock screen (mango feature) ?

You have to use Zune to get Music on your WP7. I imported my music from my iTunes library to Zune, and everything worked fine. I can't tell you anything about the artwork though, because it's not available for countries without Zune music store..

remove DRM and play itunes movies freely
Because of the protection, you can't transfer itunes files directly. To edit and remove protection from iTunes DRM protected video, or convert itunes files to iphone and other devices, you can download a m4v Converter free trial to convert files to any popular format easily.
Get it from: m4vconverter4mac.com/m4v-converter.html

once imported, the artist info will either be pulled by the phone itself or transferred when synced with the zune software.
but as stated, you can't sync a windows phone with itunes, just like you can't sync an iphone with zune.

+1 - am interested too.. why?

Well I would like to have possibility download MP3 from Skydrive to my phone and have it stored in the device. This function doesn't allow me Zune, if the MP3 are not in the device Zune only stream it I wanna download it not stream.
Hope that's clear.

i was wondering about this too

I've heard of cloud music apps but I don't think there is an opption to do it thru Zune where you can downlad your music from Skydrive as of yet; hopefully soon. That is if MS feels like it.

[Q] Buy Music on WP7, have on PC later?

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).
