WMP10 PLAYLISTS / SYNCING / BOOKMARKS AAARRGGHHHHHH!!!!!

WMP10 PLAYLISTS / SYNCING / BOOKMARKS AAARRGGHHHHHH!!!!!
:evil: Sorry people but I'm F*%@!ng! fuming over this. The reason I like Winamp is becuase you hear something you like and all you do is "Add to Bookmarks", couldn't be simpler, and easy to copy and backup and replace, I wonder if Pocket Music is this simple? probably.
BUT WMP10 what a frikin knightmare!. I've tried the Windows Media Player 10 Mobile help sights, tried some of the SYNCING things, it did sync 29 things??? but still hasnt transfered My Playlists looking in the WMP Library on the XDA. SO in frustration I copy "My Playlists" from My Docs on my main PC to my PocketPC's Docs AND Storage Card to a folder called My Playlists, I Open WMP10 on the XDA, then using File Explorer in XDA to find the My Playlists then try to open them that way, oh no of course it isn't going to frikin work is it!! Playlists for WMP aren't associated with WMP10 eh!??? WTF!!! Why can't they make it simpler!!!??? AND I cant "FIND or SEARCH" the "My Playlist Folder" associated with WMP10 in my XDA, for the life of me someone please help me out.. :roll: sorry for the rant but I cant be the only one having this problem.

Welcome to M$ !!!
They way I use it:
- Check that all your music is in the WM10 library on your PC.
- You need to have all the playlists you want to sync in WM10 on your PC.
- WM10 (again the PC side) has a "sync" tab, which you need to use for synching to get your playlists to your PocketPC. Check the playlists you want to sync in the sync settings, hit "sync"
- You're done!
If you are using another music player and DON'T want to use WM10, you're out of luck....

Please excuse my noobness.

ok I just went to the Library and found My Playlists with the Radio Stations I like, clicked on Sync, found the folder on My pocketpc to send to, picked one and ticked it on the PC side, highlighted it, hit the green Start Sync button.. ERROR the player may not support the file... tryed a few more , same thing.. please excuse my noobness, I like to stream radio stations off the net, How do I "Add Bookmark" as it were into my own folder say My Playlists? I was able in version 9 but not 10 it seems. i'll keep trying, and thanks I'm getting closer.

Went into Sync settings
Went into Sync settings, ticked all the radio playlists, found My Playlists in My Documents on pocketpc & storagecard..
ERROR the player may not support the file...
tried a few more , same thing.. I made sure the player wasnt playing at the time, I have had no problem with active sync so far its the latest version, firewall is ok in program controls, and it's a very recent ROM, I have been able to stream 32kbps streams using a neighbors wifi connection but can't even manualy drag drop some playlists.

I feel your pain. I gave up on the sync thing with Windows Media player. It never worked right.
Been using Yahoo's music service and it works as advertised. Click sync and your done...no playlists though & it costs money. Still, good audio quality and its easy.

Thanks inbox7
Thanks inbox7, I am using www.radiofeeds.co.uk for UK radio listening links.
Also one work around (can't believe I just said that Microshaft!) I am saving the .asx links as Favourites. works anyway.
Slightly off topic, has anyone reading this managed to stream an MP3 stream using there XDA and a WIFI connection?, What is the maximum bitrate you achieved? I'll start a thread on this unless you can point me to one.
cheers all choppidge.

Im trying the WMP10 sync now.... 20% complete.... keeping my fingers crossed that itll work without a snitch... thanks!

Im done syncing two playlists.. took a while to complete but when I checked my universal, couldnt see the playlists there... What did i do wrong?
I synced WM10 to save the Playlists to the storage device but couldnt find anything anywhere. My Playlist folder just shows Now Playing.. help! thanks!

Need help with music on TP2

I guess I'll just post this, then do a double-post and tell you the problem, because the site isn't letting me post anything.
EDIT: I'm tired of windows media player half-assing all of my music, and stopping the syncing at 23% (I have a micro-sd card that's well big enough to hold what I'm putting on it, so space isn't the problem.) Can anyone recommend another program to sync my music with? (I don't want to do it manually, too much music to do it.)

I use iTunes (I know, right?) to manage my music on my pc. first I fix the id2 tags using mp3tag v2.6a from http://www.mp2tag.de (great program that will let you fix your tags and download album information from several sites on the internet and change the file names based on the tags and the tags based on the file names (use it and you'll see what i mean). then i add the music to iTunes that then finds all the album art automatically.
after that, i use a little program called iTunes agent from here http://ita.sourceforge.net/docs.html, to sync the music directly to a folder on the storage card (you can either take the storage card out and use a usb adaptor to connect it to your pc or you can set the phone to connect to the pc in disk mode, it doesn't work when connected for active sync)
the way it works, you create a playlist in iTunes and create a device in iTunes Agent with the same name as the play list, and add your music to that play list and itunes Agent will syncronize the play list to the folder you selected on your storage card when you setup the device. you can setup multiple devices too...
i hope this helps.

I just read an article about double Twist for music syncing.

I'm not comfortable with a program that connects to the internet and shares my information, but then again, that's just me.

Best way to manage music?

Anyone know a good way to manage music with a g2x??
I have well over 2k songs on my itunes. I have them all on my g2x, but it seems to have a poor music managing system.
Songs/Artists/Playlists are duplicated many times, playlists duplicate the songs within them sometimes, etc.
I'm wondering if theres a good software to manage the music on my phone?
Something comparable to itunes preferrably
I just want to be able to make playlists on my computer without them duplicating on my phone.
I've tried doubletwist, itunesagent (which doesn't copy playlists), and even winamp.

i'm just using Google Play

I'm just using Google Play Music as well and transfer my files via mass storage. Now I use the cloud for Google Play Music and just keep a few albums on my SD card. I have no problems with duplicates or any other issues.

You have to get a tag editor and
Make sure there filled out right... iTunes fixes them but the music players don't.

Kplaylist + MediaMonkey + Google Play
All my music is on an a private web server that can stream all my music. I stopped using iTunes a long time ago, but all my music is on this web server.
http://www.kplaylist.net/
If you can setup an Apache Service with PHP, you will love this app. Its the only thing I use and get my music anywhere.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MediaMonkey
http://www.mediamonkey.com/
I only use this to update the ID Tags of all my songs and add the album picture from the web. Its a bit tricky, but what I do is, when I decide I want to add and album to Google Play I tag and add the picture album then upload them.
I have like 40 gigs of music, and slowly have converted to Google play. I fix the tags and albums as I go. Its worked so far
Sometimes the picture or the album name comes out wrong, have to re-upload or manually correct it once its inside Google. It happens sometimes, especially if mediamonkey can't find the rare song online.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Google Play
If done right, all the songs will be properly tagged and the album picture inside. Its running better now then when it was called (Google Music). Used to crash alot. The only decision you have is "Make available Offline"
In the end, when its nicely organized, I use Google Play way way more.

I've been using Doubletwist and it copies my playlist from itunes just fine

I use Banshee Media Player. I have it set up to sync one specific playlist. It works in one-click and it even converts my FLAC files on the fly to V9 mp3! Even better, even though I have it set to sync one playlist, it keeps track of which tracks belong to other playlists too. I use it on Ubuntu but I think the sync options work on Windows too.
Edit: It also keeps my media tagged, downloads album art and sorts the files into an [Artist]>[Album] folder structure.

Any recommendations for Music apps?

Hello everyone!
I am looking for a Music app for my Galaxy S6. I have been researching for a very long time now, and still haven't found the solution, so I thought I'd try getting help from XDA.
-I want to be able add music to a folder on my PC and have that folder wirelessly synchronized with my phone's music folder for offline listening.
-I want to have a desktop version of the app that I can use to manage playlists on my PC and have the playlists wirelessly synchronized with my phone too.
I have tried Google Play Music but it seems to have trouble when there are subfolders or when a certain file is corrupted. It ends up not uploading all my music.
Does anyone have any recommendations for me?

Poweramp

I looked into it, but I found that it didn't have a desktop version that I could use to manage my playlists on PC, and I can't wirelessly synchronize either

sync not available

Hey, half a year ago, I asked myself the same question and I finally found the perfect Player for my and your needs: Google play music. There is also a program for your Desktop which syncs automatically whenever u add music to specific folders. The new Songs are shown on recently added in the app and u can add these Songs to playlists and listen to them offline. If u add Songs on another device to your playlists, they will be downloaded automatically on every device.
Have fun!
Ps: The playlists can be saved on your sd card on your phone. Whenever you delete a playlist on your sd card, it will stillstill be available online to be downloaded. Simple as that, it's like Spotify for your own library

How to sync m3u playlist to Huawei music app?

I have used mediamonkey to sync the m3u playlists I have in my windows PC to my previous Samsung device without any issues. I've tried to use the same programme to sync to the new Honor 8. The programme did sync the music files to the SD card. The playlists are in a playlist folder in the sd card. The Huawei music app finds all the music files, but does not recognize any playlist. Do you know how to sync an m3u playlist? Or which playlist format are supported by the music app?
Thanks!

Any luck
