Portable Photo Album Software on microSD card?

Just curious. Since you are able to connect phone to computer and treat SD card as an external drive. Wouldn't it be possible to install some sort of photo album software on the phone to execute from windows?
I hate organizing my photos, I'd like to keep them contained in one spot. I don't take many pictures but I hate trying to organize my albums into folders manually.
What software would everyone suggest as well for a simple photo album manger?
- MikeD.

Anything? what about picasa or something?

Cloud Storage For Music (Mspot alternative)

My 32gb card died and I'm back to my 16gb and now I have no room for my music. I currently have 14gb of music and it grows every week. I tried mspot and it is wonderful but their storage plans are limited to 2gb for now and that's clearly not enough for me and then I tried ZumoDrive and uploaded all my music and it worked great (except for the lack of a widget) but when I tried to add new music to my storage it wouldn't add them and then when I tried to erase all my music off the cloud storage and reupload them it only uploaded 5gb of it so I just gave up on it. So I just want to know if anyone has any other suggestions of a program that streams music from a cloud storage. Any suggestions would be appreciated

any ideas?

Check this out: http://mecanto.com/

I use Orb and Orblive... it's not exactly cloud storage, but it works for all types of media. Video quality needs improvement.

Hey thnx for the suggestions. I tried mecanto but I don't really like the UI and it doesn't have a widget. I also use orb but it doesn't really cut it for me. Any other suggestions preferably something with a decent UI and/or a widget I don't mind if it cost either

Check out subsonic. Stream all your music from home pc to your phone. It will even transcode flac etc to mp3 or other formats of your choosing @ any bitrate.

I had an issue setting up with subsonic.

[How to] put music on the Infuse from Itunes

1.) Download and install
For Windows iTunes Agent.
For Mac iTuneMyWalkman.
2.) Once installed, the application runs in the system tray and monitors iTunes.
3.) Plug the Infuse into your computer's USB port and mount it.
4.) Create a folder on the mounted Infuse called Music.
5.) Right-click on the iTunes Agent icon in the system tray.
6.) Click Preferences.
7.) Leave all defaults checked and click the New button.
8.) Give the device a name. (Infuse in this case)
9.) Leave Synchronize pattern: set to iTunes.
10.) Click the Choose button and select the Music folder you created on the Infuse.
11.) Click the Create button and select the Music folder you created on the Infuse.
12.) Click Save and then Close.
13.) Launch iTunes and you will see a playlist folder called My Devices, under which you will see the Infuse.
14.) Simply drag the music you wish to synchronize from your iTunes library to your Infuse into this playlist
15.) Finally, right-click on the iTunes Agent icon in the system tray and select Synchronize devices

You could do all that, which seems OK. Here's the easier version (none of this sync business):
1. Sort your music by kind. This will find your music that is protected. Convert your library from the protected format by right clicking on your library and converting to mp3 within itunes. I have about 2000 songs and it took about 30 minutes. This is good because it takes any DRM off of the files and allows you to put them wherever you want. Once done, I deleted the Itunes DRM protected versions so I wouldn't have duplicates in my library.
2. Drag and drop onto your phone. I created a music folder on my sd card.
This was the one task I did not want to go through when I swapped from my IOS to Android, but it was quick and painless.

hehe, or you could just download DoubleTwist on your Mac\PC, and DoubleTwist on your Android phone and it'll do it all for you... playlists, organization, etc. Takes about 1 minute to get it started the first time, and it's all wireless and totally automated. Not sure why anyone would go through the OP's laundry list of instructions, haah.

Hey I have Double Twist, but this software is not seeing my memory card which is bigger than internal memory of My SGS II, is there any option which will allow me save my track there?

Use Google music. Done. Install the Google music manager and then it will bring all of your music from your computer and sync it to the Google servers, and then you will be happy. If you want it locally, just plug in and open in mass storage mode. Done.
Thanks >>

why use bull**** apple software. iTunes may be the biggest piece of crap ever to come out of any major software company. apple should be ashamed of how ****ty it is especially with their reputation for stable quick software.
the phone has an mpt transfer mode that works with kies full (available in foreign markets) and I've heard media player works as well. why not use media player? it comes with windows. or forget the slow mtp sync which I find annoying and just copy the files to the phone.
obviously android offers countless options in music, You can sync to the cloud with Google music, copy/paste over usb, mtp transfer with kies or media player, mount the phone as network drive via FTP, webdav, or other technique, play remote content over dlna or upnp or other options. not to mention the market apps. why in the hell are people working to make our device which is superior in this respect to work like the worst feature of the out dated and limited iPod with maybe the worst mtp application on the market.
why not explore the options that set android apart from the iPhone instead of atemting to use the things that limit the iphone. it doesn't make sense to me.

Uninstalling itunes was one of the happiest days of my life.

Use Itunes and GMusic together
IMO ITunes is the best music manager for rating, tagging and searching. I use it to organize my music then point Google Music manager to upload the library.
BAM! Google Music has all my tracks with full info from ITunes. Now if Music had a better auto playlist generator....

iTunes was my primary reason for moving to Android.

FYI, I know on double twist's "airsync" app their is an option in settings to switch to external memory for saving music. It does warn that it is an experimental feature??

Thanks for the software recommendation, this will help save a lot of time.

SD Card almost full, don't know why!

My sd card has progressively been losing more and more space. I flash ROMs, listen to streamed music via Rhapsody and Amazon MP3 Cloud Drive and back up my data. All of my apps are installed to internal phone memory.
I used to keep zip files on my sd card. I stopped doing that when things got cramped. Now, anything I flash comes off my sd card immediately.
I used to keep several ROM nandroids, now I keep only a couple.
I used to have music stored on my sd card. I just removed all mp3s and now use Amazon's Cloud Drive to stream my own music and stream other music through Rhapsody.
I used to have photos and videos on my sd card. Now I have removed everything and use my phone only as a means to transport the media I capture to Picasa, Facebook and Dropbox.
Despite taking these steps, I'm down to my last 5 GB of space on my sd card. I should have at least 20.
I have perused my sd card looking for *big* folders but cannot find any.
I'm wondering that since I've streamed so much Rhapsody, if there are major caches stored somewhere. I noticed that after I uploaded my music library to the Cloud Drive and played some music for several hours that my sd card went from over 7GB to 5GB. Nothing changed except for streaming music.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?!

when you stream music, the songs are stored in the sd card memory in a format that i cant remember off the top of my head. If you delete them, they will just be redownloaded if you stream again. Other than that idk whats taking up so much space.

Free app called disk usage might help see where the problem is.

Thank you ever so much for that tip. That app found my problem in literally - seconds - after I installed it. My problem was my .trashes folder. There was 18 GB worth of trash in it. Computers were not able to see the contents. Now I have 24 GB on my sd card. THANK YOU!!!!!

Do you use boot manager? I know on mine it takes up alot of space on the sd card.

I know someone else suggested a solution, but here is another one if you use Astro. There is an option in tools that sorts folders and files by size.

iPhoto and Nexus 5

Guys, can anyone recommend the best software to transfer photos to and from the Nexus 5 and iPhoto on a Mac?
I have DoubleTwist, but that software can only transfer photos TO iPhoto not from it. I want to be able to transfer albums from my iPhoto to my N5.
So far it seems a nigh on impossible task.
Also, music to and from iTunes is also nigh on impossible.

Finder, Android file transfer....

Android File Transfer is a pain as you have to figure out what photo's you have already transferred over.
I was hoping for more of an iPhoto style app that automatically picks up new photo's to transfer over.

I would probably just transfer them manually using whatever Apple's default file explorer is. Or you could turn on Cloud syncing, then just pull the new photos down manually from the cloud on your Mac if you wanted. Easiest would be manual transfer IMO. Drag and drop them.

Use Google+ as a cloud storage for your photos. They will automatically show up in your stock gallery and wont take up space on your device.
