Hi everyone - I had a Galaxy S5 since it came out. When I try to sync my iTunes lib w my phone, all of my playlists show up except 2. I thought this was strange so when I want to listen to them, I use Google Play. Yesterday I got a brand new Galaxy S5 Active, factory fresh. I did the same sync and everything showed up.... except my 2 play lists. Any idea whats happening here? Thanks.

Hi all, I've been using Google Music for a few weeks now and it's pretty cool.
However, one issue I've faced is duplicate songs being listed, i.e. the songs I have stored locally and in 'the Cloud' show up in the Google Music app.
I understand it's beta but are there any workarounds? I've tried the ones from the Droid Incredible thread BTW.
Thank you.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I am seeing the same on my phone and was wondering what/if any solution is out there
I'm in the same boat. I've just picked up a Nexus.
Seems the only way to have them local and not appear twice is to download them through the app as opposed to manually copying them over USB.

Google Play Music - duplicates

Have you checked what shows as your library when you log into Google Play from a "regular" computer?
Sometimes, the info it has stored for album & song descriptions - whatever the heck they call it - is not correctly set for it to recognize that something is a duplicate.
Also, I know that it does not know anything about what I may have loaded just onto my Nexus, even though it "syncs" - must be one-way only, Cloud to device.
Songs have to be "downloaded" (uploaded?) into Google Music for it to recognize them. You may have duplicates because of this.
A very nice work around is to setup playlists of specific albums & artists, for your locally loaded stuff & what is not duplicated, and ignore the Albums & Artist display modes on your device. You can setup a playlist with just one album, and not include the tracks you don't particularly like - isn't there. usually at least one on most albums? - and just the locally stored or Cloud stored versions of the song(s).
I have everything on my Nexus at this point so I can listen when not networked. Then again, I have not had it long so I've not eaten up all my storage yet.
I hope this helps!

I just wanted to know if there was any talk ever about software that would help me manage my phone and maybe that i could get music from?
Use Android Music to manage your music files and Amazon Music to buy the music.
It just seems weird that Google wouldnt do that especially with this device I saw called the Samsung Galaxy 5. When I found that, it prompted my original question because it is marketed as a music player.
I read somewhere they are working on adding a music store to the Google Music app

Check out media monkey. It allow for syncing to android devices. And only runs one background process (when running).. unlike iTunes which runs four at all times.

Correct - there was a press release that music purchasing through Google Music will "be here soon"
Ok so I cant post link but i did some more reading and type in,
google(dot)music(dot)com
and it takes you to a beta sign up. Theres a video. Its all there. GO THERE!
Hey! I'm new here, but I'm sure someone could help me out. I love this ROM first of all, but ever since since I've had it my Play Music hasn't refreshed. It has the music that was on it before I got this ROM, but I've bought 2 new albums on Play and they will not appear. I've check my Accounts and Sync setting to see if "Sync Music" was checked and it wasn't there at all. What is the problem? Is it impossible to sync music on this ROM?
Hey guys,
I've got an odd problem with samsung stock music player on my note 10.1.
Every playlist I add to the device is (dis)played upside down. At first i suspected isyncr, which i use to sync my Itunes with the note, to be the problem - but it turned out it is not.
I already did the following:
checked the m3u playlist isyncr generates with a text editor - everything fine
cleared data of stock music player
cleared data of "media storage"
created a playlist with a 3rd party player (amazon) => reverse order in samsung player, correct order in poweramp, player pro
created a playlist with samsung player => reverse order in 3rd party players (amazon, poweramp, player pro)
searched the internet and xda
asked samsung support for help - twice
Internet knows a similar problem with samsung fascinate without any solution, here on xda i found an old thread which i suspect describes the same problem on a different device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404735), but also without a solution or idea.
I can hardly believe there is such a bug in the stock music app and hardly anyone steps into it. I also find it hard to believe that samsung had this bug in Fascinate's music player, fixed it in the Galaxy S2's (which i also own and doesn't have this problem), just to re-integrate it in the Note 10.1.
Samsung support is not able to give any qualified answers and rather tries to force me to use kies (which I even tried, but despite its poor performance cannot help me with this problem). I will, however, try to ask them a 3rd time.
The Problem existed in ICS ROM as well as in Jelly Bean, which arrived about 2 weeks ago (XXBLJ9).
Any Ideas what I could try next?
If you read this and don't know an answer either, you can still help me by verifying the problem on your note 10.1 - just create a playlist with for example amazon mp3 (playlist, not album) and open it with samsung stock music player. Would be great, thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Oliver
Okay...seems like nobody has an idea how to solve this...no problem.
You can, however, also help me by just trying it out, takes about 1 minute of your time...is nobody using the stock music player and any other player?
As Internet isn't full of complaints, i suspect that it could be a configuration specific problem with my note. I am willing to wipe it in that case, but as it is not rooted i've got to restore its current state manually after that - which might take some hours So I just want to make sure that there's a chance that wiping helps me with my problem.
Anyone? Can (or can't) you confirm my problem?
Thanks and Greetings,
Oliver
Same issue on Samsung Droid Charge

Hi,
I have had my Samsung Charge since it came out. That problem has always persisted on my device. I find it extremely frustrating as the point of a smart phone is that it is multiple devices. I would like this to be my main music player as well since it has an external 32gb SD card and so can hold quite a bit of music.
I am not a developer (I do do technical support), just decided I am trying to figure out - AGAIN - why it does this. I just downloaded a trial of PowerAmp. Don't know if this might help you figure out the problem. Power Amp shows my synced playlists from Windows Media Player not as a Playlist but as a music folder under folders. So far I have synced just one playlist as a test. In the folder in powerAmp, it is in the correct order. In the stock music player it is in reversed order.
I paused in typing, and after syncing multiple playlists at one shot, the list in Poweramp is garbled. The first try created a single folder with all the songs from the playlist in correct order. Now with the sync of multiple lists, I do have a couple like above but the rest either didn't come across or the music came across but not the playlist. The stock music player also has just some not all of the playlists I synced. The music is all in reverse order.
To me this suggest that problem is with the implementation of the sync on the device itself, given you have the same issue. My guess is it reads and writes the playlist from bottom up. I think there is also a burrering problem since it never seems to bring all my lists over and if that happens only some of the music.
Hope this helps, would like very much to know if you find a solution. Samsung is close to losing me as a customer over this. I care less about browsing and connectivity and more about multi functionality. A music player that works is important to me, and am considering an HTC or maybe even an IPhone (!!!) next time around just because of this - and my next upgrade is in 60 days. I HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS SAMSUNG!!!

Hi Oliver,
Just discovered that my Amazon MP3 cloud player has all my playlists I just synced (except one) and the songs are all in the correct order. This is confounding to me as I previously had the same reversed order issue in this player. Not sure if it has anything to do with the fact that I went into the file system dorectly and deleted all the contents from themusic related folders before doing the sync for that one then multiple lists. Not sure what happened with that one list, might be related to the fact that it is a custom CD mix ( old school club music, I need the beats for running!). Am going to try syncing that list as I really like the music that's on it. This would seem to contradict my thinking above though. Seems the issue is with the Samsung stock music itself, not the sync. HTC/Apple here I come...
Galaxy stock mp3 Player
I have Samsung Fascinate and it has the same problem with stock mp3 music player. Songs on playlist are reversed. I also tried a few other players but they are not convenient.
So as previous says we can use Amazon mp3 player and widget. It works good for me. It remembers when I paused and even after reboot. So decided use it. It doesn't interfere with other programs (I use in my car navigation app - Navigon). So its very convenient listen music and have navigation.
Hi everyone!
For all iTunes users, i have my first android phone after depending for 3 years on my iPod, so I was using iSyncr to sync all my music and playlists to my phone (LG Optimus L9). It was working perfectly (I use PowerAmp to listen to my music) until the syncing of the playlists started to fail. I think it was after an iTunes update (but I'm not sure), I run iSyncr, select SD card as always and it starts working blah blah, the music syncs but when tries to sync the playlists it says something like this:
"Syncing Rock... Device couldn't update the playlist"
I don't know why it started to do this, I tried deleting the playlist from the SD and syncing a new playlist but it doesn't work either. It's so annoying because I depend a lot on my playlists, I have 16 gb of music and it's a mess if I don't have it ordered the way i like it xD
Anybody knows any solution to this?

You may try refreshing the Android media storage on your device using this tutorial - http://www.jrtstudio.com/iSyncr/Tutorials/HowToRefreshAndroidMediaCache
If this doesn't work, try syncing to the internal storage and seeing if this is working properly. For more advanced help, please contact me at [email protected].

I tried refreshing the media storage and not only it didn't work, but iSyncr deleted all the playlists and then it couldn't transfer the new playlists, now I don't have any of them in my phone
I think I'll do a hard reset soon and see if that works, thanks anyway

I had the same issue at one point and found out that the problem was i had flashed a mod that also disabled the media scanner. I just used a media scanner trigger app from the market and problem fixed. What rom/mods are you running?

I don't have any roms or mods. The media scanner is working, or at least the icon appears, stays for a while and then dissapears.
Solved
Hello again, I finally did a hard reset and spent all afternoon installing the apps and cofiguring the phone and everything is working perfectly. I'm doing a backup now so I have somewhere to go back to if anything weird happens again xD
