Hi all
Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer music downloaded from Napster to the xda? I have tried copying but I just get an error.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Try synching your xda, then right click on the file or files you wish to copy, click on explore in activesync, find the place you want to copy to, then right click and paste.
I can get the wma across, but it wont play as it needs a licence! I have got round this by burning to CD and then copying back to PC then to XDA.
My question really was why can you not transfer directly from windows media player? The Napster site, and Windows, gives a list of devices that are compatible, mainly mp3 players. Do you need special drivers and if so do they exist for the XDA?
Thanks
sync your xda then from within media player choose copy to cd or device. Select your xda from the drop down list on the right and the tracks you want to copy from the list on the left and then choose copy. This should copy the tracks and the licence (as long as you have bought the track cos the licence you have if you don't buy the track does not allow copying to a mobile device)
I have tried this but I get an error when copying. I have seen that some mp3 players need a special driver. Is that the case for the XDA?
(I can transfer other music that I have copied from CD so I know that the process does work for normal music).
Thanks

Hello I have a HD2 Leo, im trying to work out how I can create a playlist on the computer and then put it onto my hd2.
So I create a playlist in windows media player on the computer and save it in the .asx format (to my knowledge this is the format it must be in for the hd2) I then put that playlist file on my HD2, when I open the playlist with a text editor, the file locations are pointing to the music on my computer as opposed to on my phone, even if I change the location to point to my phone I still cannot get these to work.
The music app on the HD2 isnt very good which is why I want to use the computer to create my playlists, can anyone help?
Thanks Alot

I know this is an old post but I have the same frustrations about where and how (no)sense keeps its playlists. Has there been any new ideas on it?
Hi,
I find this unusual problem when transferring mp3 files to my phone. I use the Kies software on my PC to sync with my music folder. When it finish sync with the phone, it shows a complete transfer without problems, but when I open the music player my mp3s don't show up. After playing with the phone for a while, I found the mp3s to be in a folder called media. I have to transfer those mp3s to the music folder under Samsung in order for the mp3 to show up in the music player.
Why doesn't the transferred mp3 files go straight to that music folder under Samsung and instead I have to manually transfer it from the media folder on the phone? Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you

Well my suggestion is use Mediamonkey for transferring or managing music. In Mediamonkey you can configure the path where the files have to be uploaded, the order of uploading (artist>album>title) , file formats supported by the device and much more ! I have uploaded my music(FLACs) with Mediamonkey on SGS2 and all the music shows up correctly(along with track order) in the stock music player. Try it

Thank you for your help, I will give Mediamonkey a try.
It's so just weird using Samsung software on a Samsung phone doesn't work correctly.
I have a mac running snow leopard. I installed samsung kies to transfer music. the music will transfer but when I launch Google Music, it won't recognize the music. I can even go to the directory of where the music is located and play a song using google music. Plan B. Since that didn't work, I installed Android File Transfer for Mac. Doesn't work. Plan C. I used cheetah sync to transfer the files. The files transferred to the Music folder on the tab. Google music still doesn't recognize. Plan D. I shuffled around 1 song to different locations on the tab aka root folder, media folder, music folder, everywhere! Still doesn't recognize that one song. Plan E. I download a mp3 download app. I download a song and google music recognizes it. I look through the directories to see where the app downloaded the song. Couldn't find the song. Checked every single folder. What else is there to do??
I don't own a Mac, so I cannot help you on your specific Mac issues.
BUT, do you have, by chance, a Windows PC available? If yes, everything is transparent. You even don't need Kies - just connect the GT via USB and copy the music files using Windows Explorer.
If you have a home network with shared folders, you can access and copy the music files using FileManagerHD app (free) in the tablet.
I hope it helps you.

The one caveat to this is that some download services mark the files as "hidden", so if you don't have Show Hidden Files and Folders checked in the folder's view settings, you won't see them at all. A maddening problem I had with my Sansa several years ago.
Think google music needs propper id3Tags to find tracks
it's awful and can't handle it when you have an sd card as well as internal storage. every time i transfer new songs onto the phone my playlists show up as empty and i have to remount usb, remove the doubletwist folder and dismount one drive before the other, then wait ages. if i dismount in the wrong order it doesn't work
any music player that can handle playlists that you can make on the PC and not on the phone?
if you're able to create a playlist with relativ filepaths it should work.
But as i know most players use the absolute filepath and this wont work on your phone.
Try a app called MUSIC FOLDER PLAYER. I don't know.if it's available from google play but you'll find it in Samsung apps. It's got some nice features a decent equaliser and plays each folder from where you left off. PS it's got a different name tagging feature so It may sort out your problem.

Here's my dilemma...
I have my entire music library on my phone, and these days find myself using the phone to create playlists more frequently than I do on a PC.
When I was making playlists on PC more frequently, it was a piece of cake to transfer the playlist and the media associated to Android with apps like DoubleTwist and a few others that worked great.
What I'm running into now is that I'll create a great playlist on my phone, then want to transfer it to my PC or to my USB drive kept in my car and there is no way that I have found to do it unless I manually scroll through the playlist on the phone and copy the files to a folder one by one.
Anyone have a script, or maybe there is an app I am overlooking that can accomplish this?
Phone is Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge but I've wanted this on every Android I've had so I think the question is relevant here, instead of just in the Samsung forums. Feel free to move if it should be a device specific question.
tl;dr -- I want to take a playlist created on Android and copy the media files in that playlist to a folder on my PC without going song by song and copying them via MTP
