Hey people,
I'm having issues syncing playlists from my computer to my phone.
Been searching all over the net for a proper solution but no luck with this.
Here's my issue;
Basically when i sync playlists from my PC to my phone, it saves the playlists on my phone as .PLA format.
Now the only player that actually reads those playlists is my stock player.
I have tried several android players, but non of them will recognize the playlists.
On my PC for syncing i have tried
-WMP
-Winamp
-MediaMonkey
-DoubleTwist
All of these create playlists in PLA format on my device when transferring them, which wouldnt be a problem if i wanted to use the stock player.
As for android apps/media players i have tried:
-Cubed
-Winamp
-Mort Player
-Media PlayerPro
-Mixzing
-Astro Player
When i create a playlist using any of the apps on my phone, every other app is capable of reading them.
However, the playlist file can not be found on my phone, or my SD card. so i have no clue what format they are saved to, or where they are saved too.
I'm basically looking for a way to transfer my playlists from my computer to my android phone, and have the other apps actually read the playlists.
The phone im using is the Samsung Galaxy S.
Been trying to work this out for days now, but with no success what so ever.
So if there is anyone that has a clue on how to get this done properly, id appreciate it.
Good morning,
I have really ben enjoying my TnT Lite 4.24 g Tab. However, I am having problems accessing all of my music on the sdcard2. I am sure it is user error, so hopefully someone can help me out.
All of my music was synced directly to the card on my Windows 7 laptop through Windows Media Player. All of the music is on the card. I then installed the card into the G Tab and turned it on, giving the G Tab a few minutes to scan the card (I think it does that) I start the Music app, but only a couple albums are avaialble. Why would this be?
Using ES Explorer, I see all the albums are there and can even play the music from ES Explorer, but not the Music app.
Any idea on what I may have one incorrectly getting the music onto the card, or how to fix this?
Thanks or any help!

I finally gave up storing music on the external sdcard. I have the best luck when I put all of my music and videos on the internal card. And the problems existed with the built in music app, and winamp.
Music Problems too
Hello,
I am also having problems with music files...my albums all show, however, some of the albums have songs appearing from completely different artists/albums...it's as if some index is corrupt or not properly compiled.
I'm running TnT Lite 4.4 and I've copied all of my music to the internal SD card. I've downloaded the WinAmp app and have the same problem as with the stock music player installed with the ROM.
Is there a way to rebuild the index? Or does such a thing exist?
Any ideas?
TIA...
Here is the problem I'm having. I'll attempt to listen to music via any type of music player. I've used winamp, amazon mp3, Google Music, and also the stock music player. Each of them will tell me they have a problem playing the file I select but each program does show all of my music listed. My music is stored in /sd_card/media if that helps.
So if I reboot my phone and then attempt to play music then it typically works. I normally have to do this at least once a day. I"m using the latest Infused ROM but I was having this problem with stock rom as well.
I was curious if anyone else was having this problem and if there was any solutions that you might recommend.
My current ROM is CoreDroid v3.3 (latest froyo).
My preferred music player/interface is jukefox. When it is active it accepts media commands from a bluetooth device just fine. But when I turn off the screen, or when another app takes the focus, the bluetooth media commands invoke the default media player instead of jukefox. Both players will actually run at the same time playing 2 songs on top of each other.
I searched the forums and didn't find much along these lines. Also searched Google and found many users with the same issue regarding other music players on other phones. Seems to be a general Android issue instead of phone specific.
Anyone know if it is possible for a non-stock media player to override the default music app when bluetooth media commands are sent?
I'm about to try CoreDroid v8.1 to see if any of this is resolved.
EDIT: CoreDroid v8.1 did solve it! Sorry for junking up the forum.
Hello,
I recently upgraded to ICS and am having trouble using Google's Music Player to play my music. Note that I'm trying to play music from my SD card; I have no music uploaded to Google's Music Player. It worked fine in Gingerbread.
For some reason any time I click on a song an error pops up saying "Music Playback Error - unable to play song" or something similar. Not to mention I have duplicate playlists (3 of the same playlist) in my Playlist list.
Anyone know of a fix for this? I like the layout of the default Music Player but should I just switch to another player? Any suggestions?

i just experienced this error also just few hours ago & until now i cant play my favorite music . shall we transfer all music files in SD?
Im having the same problem. i tried formatting both sd cards but everytime i go back into google play the music is still there and is unplayable. in my other music player the same problem. im on the stock ics build unrooted. i also cleared cache in settings and in stock recovery as well. im about to root and flash a custom rom but would rather not have to do all that. any suggestions?

also i have not set up cloud storage so it should not be related to that either
Work around google play music
I found a work around- not a solution to the issue with the app...but I'm playing my music!
Open a web browser on your phone to music.google.com
When I do that all my music is right there. It plays fine. I guess its what the ipad/ipod/iphone peeps use to creep onto the Google music cloud. Ironic...
-Running a Droid X
I was told to move music to internal. Its running fine so far, but time will tell

Found a solution to my problem
Just wanted to chime in on how I found my fix, although it was for issues playing off the cloud, when I originally copied songs to SD then deleted off.
My Google Music would play music and gave me a playback error message. But I figured it was due to songs that I had originally copied to the external SD, and recently deleted. Playing those songs from the cloud gave me the error, while songs I never copied to SD played just fine.
So my thoughts were that the phone probably still thinks its playing those songs from the SD when it shouldn't because I deleted them.
My solution: turn off data and wifi, set google music to show only what was on device (because it still thinks songs were still stored in the phone), and deleted every single song one-by-one, a tedious process.
Then go manage apps and cleared app cache, uninstalled the app, reboot, reinstall, turn on wifi+data... and voila, those songs are playing off the cloud again.
If that didn't work then I would've factory reset.
I would think that this would work too for songs that were on SD card, but when I had problems with external SD music, I just cleared app cache, unmount SD and reboot.
Hope this helps for anyone else that runs into this problem.
Have u tried using another music app vincom jb mod has no music player I prefer player pro its very nice and has many options compared to stock

Clearing Google Play Music Cache and wiping Data would have been enough.
Solved my problem this way!
Google play error
I have a rooted Asus Nexus 7
I had a problem with Google play music
It would stop playing part way through songs
But I found a solution to the problem
Uninstall the factory installed app with titanium backup
Then go to Google app store and search for google play and reinstall the app
It now works fine for me it has been functioning for 3 days with out problems
As much as google support wanted me to unroot my device or they wouldn't help me with my issue I hope this helps everyone out
A small solution that worked for me.
I just received a error meesgae when I trued to listen to my music on android tablet. I found a solution that worked for me. I removed my SD card and then placed it back into my tablet. Then I went to setting>storage and set storage to SD card. I went back to Google music player to make sure my device was looking for music from the sd card. My music is saved on my device so of course there was no music to be found. Then I went back to storage settings and selected device for storage. Went back to music player there was all music and they all played fine.
