I have been wondering if there is a way backing up playlist on stock music player, i am tied of recreating them every time i flash a new Rom. Sometimes i also wish that there was a way of syncing my playlist on windows media player either by air or data cable and then the player in my phone could just recognize them and off it plays the songs.
Pardon me if this has been addressed elsewhere. I have searched the internet as well as these forums and have found "similar" posts but nothing EXACT.
I have a Samsung Captivate just upgraded to the official Froyo - everything works great EXCEPT FOR THIS:
Playlists synchronized from my PC to the phone do not show up in ANY media player EXCEPT for "Music Player" (OEM/stock) - I have used Media Monkey, doubleTwist and WinAmp on the computer side and on the phone side I have used Mixzing, WinAmp and doubleTwist to play - ALL the music shows up (with correct tags) but the playlists do NOT in any player except for Music Player - I suspect this is either a known issue with no known work-around, or the workaround is simple and I'm about to get yelled at for not knowing what exact word string combination to search for to pull it up.
I've never been able to transfer my playlists either so I'd like to know if there is a solution too. If not there's always the longer way by adding the songs you want to an sd card, save them as playlist then move the music from there & repeat as needed.

Don't know if this will help you, so here goes. I noticed that when I downloaded some mp3's that a few of the tags were WAY off (band name, song title, etc). So I downloaded, from the Market, MP3 Tagger to rename those tags. What I'm getting at is that MP3 Tagger automatically finds where your mp3's are stored on your phone, then allows you to make changes, then the newly-changed file shows up in your media players automatically. I hope this helps.
What are you using to sync the music and create the playlist? Are you connecting the Captivate as a Mass Storage device or a Media Player? If connecting as a Media Player, then the playlists will be created as WPL files which I believe only the stock player will play. I connect the captivate as a Mass Storage Device and then sync it that way, which creates an M3U playlist which can be played by everything
only WMP makes WPL lists and it can be changed in settings. he mentioned he used winamp and others. so probably not the issue.
also i find mounting as media player, sucks, i did that and half my music disapeared. might have been a bad phone though. been replaced but ever since i connect as mass storage.
I've tried mass storage and media player. When I use mass storage the music loses its organization (folders, etc) but that might have been a MediaMonkey thing. I will try the experiment again using mass storage and doubletwist and winamp- I have the highest faith in those two...

The playlists ARE showing up on the phone but ONLY in the stock music player. Its almost like they are being intercepted. I am going to try mass storage and doubletwist tonight.

I had the same problem then started using doubletwist on y phone and desktop to sync. It works perfect now.

I just tried using doubletwist to doubletwist using "storage mode" not MTP and I'm having the same problem. The playlists do not show up in ANY application on the device except for "My Music" (OEM player). All the tracks, albums, artists show up in the other player just not the playlists.
Lets say I found a url to song in mp3 format on the internet. With the e.g MediaElement or MediaLauncherTask I got the ability to play it up. What I would like to-do is to save it to the phone and let the file be shown up on the Music + Video Hub (why reinvent the wheel and create a media player when one exists already?), is this possible?
I still need help if anyone got any ideas, else it's back to making a music player ontop of it
Hi
I have bought the bubbleupnp app license. It is a great app.
However, recently, it is playing one song over and over.
When playing music from the library on my computer (via my phone) and using the Windows Media Player as a renderer, BubbleUpnp only adds one song onto the Windows Media Player playlist, even though I have selected a whole playlist from the library and copied it across to the BubbleUpnp playlist. This one song then repeats over and over, even though the now playing screen on BubbleUpnp lists a different song to play next.
If I hit the next song button, the next song will be added to the Windows Media Player Renderer and play.
Can anyone assist?
Cheers
Michael

That will happen if repeat is enabled in WMP (something the app cannot control). Disable it and it should work as expected.
Nex titme, ff you have other questions, use the BubbleUPnP thread instead.
I'm not sure if this feature has been suggested, or if it already exists (being unable to find it), but I would really like the ability to build and manage playlists in MX Player.
I really do love how MX Player can run independent of playlists, jumping to the next file in a local folder (or shuffling if enabled), but sometimes I'm keen to watch or listen to a specific series of media, even web media and streams.
Now that WinAmp is dead, I do hope that some of the features found in WinAmp will find their way into MX Player. That includes:
Playlists
Shoutcast streams
More prominent Shuffle and Loop buttons (took me a long time to find this hidden feature).
Also, I would really love the ability to copy or bookmark the address of streaming media. For instance, if I choose MX Player to play a .pls or .m3u link, that media opens in MX Player, but I have no means of copying or bookmarking it to play again later.
Thanks bleu8888.

Already on the feature list from a long time ago. (high priority #8). Ctrl+F in the "feature requests" sticky post next time
Also if you are looking for a dedicated, feature-rich music app, I would recommend PowerAmp.
