I was previously the owner of a Samsung Galaxy 10, and had a library of over 2500 songs. This phone had no trouble playing any of them. Now my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra keeps popping up a message that it is unable to play that song, and plays the next one instead. I thought that because I was using a free music player app that this might be the cause, so I downloaded the Samsung Music Player. It still will not play some songs.
I'm also a bit annoyed that the Samsung Music player will only allow a playlist of 1000 songs maximum. So I now have three Playlists, and must cycle between them. Sure, I could remove 1500 songs, or go through the whole lot and divide them into genre, but I shouldn't have to.
Can anyone tell me why my phone won't play some music (yet my much older phone coped with it easily).
It's possible that those files got corrupted when you transfered them from your old phone. If that's the case, then you'll have to re-copy those files.
What is the file extension on the songs that won’t play? WMA, Windows Media Audio files are not supported by many player apps. I use the Poweramp app on my phone which plays everything I have in my media library.
+1 for PowerAmp.

Android Music Player (stock) vs UberMusic and Google Music. I'm not a huge fan of the stock music player on my Samsung GT-i9000. Tried out UberMusic and Google Music but they both add track numbers to the front of 40% of my song titles. This makes it pretty difficult to find specific songs (because I don't know track numbers anymore, if I rip a CD it doesn't even rip in the order of the CD). Since my android player displays the song titles correctly; I am thinking there is something I can do to fix it in one of these better music players.
Anyone have this issue? Suggestions? Any better music players?

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!

Hey folks,
So I ripped all my CD's to MP3 (VBR rip). Now I want to store them all on my SD card for playback from my Android smartphone running Marshmallow.
I need help with two things.
1) Media player. I have Rocket Player and PowerAmp. The pro version of each. Is one better suited than the other for external MP3 playback and creation of playlists/
2) PLAYLISTS. What is the best way to create playlists? I'm assuming I'd want to do this on my Windows computer since keyboard/mouse/large monitor will make things easier. Do you guys Google up top 500 songs for particular genre's and then just add those to your playlists?
I like music. But I'm not real up on song names or even band names.
All suggestions welcomed!
I'm old school and new to MP3 for the most part.
I'm just wondering how are you new to MP3? It was released in 1993.
Since purchasing my S8+ I've been experiencing a problem with music files that I transferred to the device. After most songs play (out of over 8,000) and it fades out, when it should start the next song, it instead plays the last 5 seconds or so of the song that just played. I have tried multiple music playing apps with the same result. I then factory reset and only had the stock music player, with the same problem. Installed several different music players, again with the same result. My music collection does come from my iTunes account, but that shouldn't matter. I did try loading MP3 files that had never been in iTunes, and those do play without issue. That's not an ideal solution, though, since the vast majority of my over 8K songs were in iTunes. Thanks in advance - I would be very grateful for a solution.
I haven't figured out how to change my username since I decided I like iPhone better than Android.
I want to copy my personal music collection onto my iPhone but when I tried to at the library by connecting the mp3 player and the iPhone to separate USB cables to the Windows computer, it wouldn't let me and later I found out from Apple that there is a restriction where you have to use iTunes. Because I don't have my own computer at home I was wondering if there are any alternatives, and someone at the Apple Store suggested that syncing the mp3s with iTunes may still not allow the playback of the mp3s if they weren't specifically purchased through Apple Music.
So what would be a good alternative way to transfer my music collection onto the iPhone? I tested a web-site in Google Chrome that is a YouTube to mp3 converter called "mp3 juices" that allows you to download audio from YouTube into mp3 files. It worked on iPhone and I was able to import mp3s into a music player app called the Audius Music Player. Since the Audius Music Player works in this way, I suppose I could copy all 12 GB of my music collection onto Google Drive and than download the songs one by one and than import them into the Audius Music Player app but I think this may be rather tedious to click to download on each individual song until I downloaded 12 GB of music. Also the free version of Audius Music Player says it has limits so I don't know if there would be a limitation on the amount of music that can be downloaded.
Would there be a way to save all the music album folders and files into one large zip file and unzip the music files onto the iPhone?
Another suggestion mentioned to me by someone is the VLC media player, but VLC on iPhone requires iTunes to sync the music into VLC media player and so I may want to get away from having to deal with iTunes.
Lol, I thought everything was easy on iPhones...
Try this.
Meh, I've used iPhones for work and I'll take my N10+'s over them any day.
DRM sucks... you are now part of the machine.

You have to use iTunes. Don't have a computer? Get one. IPhones don't behave like android, it's either iTunes or you don't. They are more locked down.
