hey guys i am new to android and just recently got a Samsung Galaxy S3 on contract and the main problem that i am facing right now is with the system music app, i have some music, audio lectures and ringtones, and the problem is that the android music detects(reads) all those three audios files in one app and i find it really annoying because i dont want them to be mixed. in iOS (iPhone) there are some apps that you can just drag your audio into that app and it will only play those files within that app. meaning it was easy for me to sync my music to iOS music player and put the lecture in another app. i could not find such an app or feature in android.
so are there any apps or trick to do that. any help would be appreciated
thanks

Hi all
Im kind of new in this operative system and i'm getting used to it, but I can't specify a Music folder.
Each time I start any mp3 player app, it plays my music and many game sound files that I don't want to hear.
Is there any way to select which folders must these apps search?
Thank you very much in advance and sorry for my stained english!
The stock music player is not that great. I recommend poweramp, which is on the market. It can do almost everything you want from a music player.

Another recommendation for Poweramp.
Stock Music Players don't look beyond the default folder and this is where Apps such as Poweramp come into their own, you can customize it to look for other music stored on your phone or sd card.
It also has a graphics equalizer and you can boost the sound to play louder from the PreAmp list.
tinyPlayer - for playing music from folders. Basic, small (60 kb), efficient - my favorite.

Go with Poweramp and you will not regret it. It has the ability to play from folders, organize all your music for you and does it on the phone without using some of the more annoying apps out there!
just create a file called .Nomedia and place it in every folder you dont want to show up in the music app.
well, if you're like me, and you think 5 dollars is highway robbery for a music app, then look into something a bit more simple. I don't actually like doubletwist, but for someone new to android - it's cool because it actually syncs itunes to android as well as acts as a audio/video player (most players will solve your folder issue).
Poweramp is one of these really "I have everything" apps like Handcent SMS (an alternate text messaging app that everyone dies for, when there are plenty of equal or better options out there). Fact is, there are plenty of apps that have what you are looking for. Enjoy the market place, and read reviews. You'll find tons. My guess is since you didn't look there immediately, you probably are feeling overwhelmed and not using your android to its full extent yet. Forums are a great place to start. You'll also quickly realize that "which music player is best" is bound to get a bunch of people in twister - this month it's poweramp, next month it will be __________.
This is just a general question so I hope I got the right area.
Well my "issue" with it right now is that I got a lot of comp discs on my phone I listen to, but it's annoying cause it lists them each as there own album, just with the same name. They all have the correct tags and album names, but for some reason when I goto the album view it shows them as each song being it's own album with the same name.
Any idea why it won't group them together properly?
So what music player do you guys prefer?
I like Google music app in the market, its free, works and looks good as well, its the same music player as used in ics. I like the cm7 music app, very simple and easy to use, also android music app in the market

I think poweramp can help u, it can sort with different custom folder
Thinking of taking the plunge and leaving Apple and getting a Sony Xperia Z3. Was a close call between that HTC One M8 and LG G3 but PS4 remote play swung it for me.
Anyway, I have a lot of music on my iPhone and from what I read it shouldn't be too hard to switch it over. I was wondering if music and movies purchased on iTunes will work on Android? And also if it's easyish to transfer/recreate playlists from iTunes to Sony's music program?
Lastly, how decent is the walkman on Xperia Z3, is it at least on a par with the music player on the iPhone? Any help would be much appreciated
Please post questions in the Q&A thread

Usually if you download the purchased music onto iTunes it is downloaded into your music folder.
So if you install Media Go, and select your music folder all your playlists and music should be present.
I think there in an import from iTunes options, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Just use android manager and drag files out of iTunes library. It works for me even paid songs are transferable

For music, you can use the google music manager at for your desktop to sync all of your mp3's and playlists to Google Play Music

Hello,
So I've always managed my music through iTunes, just because it's the easiest for me to use and all of my music is already there. I've recently found out that you can export playlists from iTunes to android phones (File->Library->Export PLaylist-> select .m3u format...). However, not all of my playlist is present when I look at it on the phone. It seems to be capped at 55 songs, which I thought was some weird setting but I realized there wasn't any rhyme or reason to the songs it was choosing to view. They were from the same albums, but the order in which it chose the albums was miscellaneous. I checked, and it isn't the app (Google Play Music), because I tested with Rocket and the stock samsung music app aswell. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know, this is really annoying!
Thanks!

I have a galaxy s5 g900t and I have been trying to figure out how to watch video (on mute) while listening to a music player but every time you press play on the music player the video will pause. Many people told me it could not be done without Jailbreaking my phone but after searching lots of apps and floating apps and googling the question I found a video player (dx) and a floating app (floating apps (multitasking) ) that allows me to do just what I want. The dx video player has independent L R volume controls which allow u to mute the video without affecting the phone''s media volume and the floating apps (multitasking) forces its music player to play no matter what else the phone is doing, it will even play music while the phones stock music player is playing music... the problem is that this floating apps application wants far too many permissions and I imagine it is a very heavy app.... I would like to know of another music player app that will play on top of other apps. I have searched through a lot. any suggestions of software would help also.. I am not experienced with rooting phones at all but if I need to I will do it or bring it somebody that can.. I don't love apps that require wild unnatural permissions. . My name is sky and I am in Denver CO in case anybody knows of a cpu savvy person near me. Thank you for your time.
