I want to use my Wally to play WMA music files from my PC. I can transfer them OK but how do I get them to go straight to the MMC? The XDA's memory is obviously too small to handle them-and a selection of MMCs with different music libraries would be quite useful. Season's Greetings, A.T.
i think you can use explore device in activesync
or you could use a flash card reader those are pretty cheap
I want to use my Wally to play WMA music files from my PC. I
what I do is right click the start tob, explore, then open my mobile device. You will see your memory card as a folder, open the folder. I open my music folder in the same way, then drag the singles, or albums to the memory card folder. like magic they write to your card. As a side note you can create a new folder in MY music, put your favorites in it then ship it off to your card(saves space).
Thanks, guys, I think even I can manage that! Just got my 512mb mmc today, I'll give it a shot!
MAGIC! Thanks, guys.

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
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.

hmmmm never knew about this app would of come in handy a few days ago :/ How do u find the app does it sync itunes to your device in the same folder structure Itunes is in on your comp?
Have you had any problems with files not being seen by your device but being on the storage?
Right firstly on itunes u need to make ur music into playlists which basically means that u drag ur music (album for example) from the music to the bottom left of itunes
U need to download the tunesync for windoww as well as the app on ur phone
Type in tunesync in market its through the market there is a free try before u buy option and the full version
U can select in the androis app which folder to put it into. . U have choice of internal sd card but i wantdd external sd so u ned to point it to the external sd
There ia a free version to try first it only does 20 songs
U need in thr app to click on the sync enable
On the s3 set the path to /mnt/extSdCard/
It is well worth the money

Sync playlists and music from iTunes (MAC) to ext SD with Kies
I have posted in another thread a way to sync (with USB cable, then much faster than WiFi), whatever music you want from your MAC iTunes, including your iTunes playlist, to the external SD Card of your Galaxy S3.
Perhap you want to take a look to it and if it helps you.
Cheers,
Paco
Thread: "what can't sync my music playlist "
It's 2015, Lollipop is out, bigger and bigger phones are sold and it looks like nobody still needs those little plastic thingies from the past. How do you call them? S.. S-D.. S-D-something... SDcard! Yep that one!
More specifically, I'm writing for my poor old SGS, which needs quite hard an SDcard. I'm running KK (and the killing blow on ExtSD was pretty hard, but solutions were found). I'm having a lot of trouble with Play Music (5.7, the lastest one). I recently got a chromecast. WOW, so beautiful! It really was worth the price. So I tried to stream a song on my device. It couldn't, songs have to be the ones on my online library. Not a big deal I thought : "time to upload everything to GMusic and download it back with Play Music for Android. Let's just pick a Sunday and give my phone some time." But my music was on sdcard1 (external one), and Play Music refuses to accept it, willing to store everything on sdcard0 (internal one). I don't have space on my internal memory due to the fact that most of the Android System just does not like sdcard1. So I was keeping application data, DCIM and downloads in sdcard0 and Music, Documents and Pictures on sdcard1. I cannot move the stuff from sdcard0 to sdcard1, so I need my music to be on sdcard1.
I was sure Google introduced the option to save songs on the external memory (Or maybe I googled it wrong), so where is this option? I can't find it anymore.
I also tried with some "walkthroughts" which were hinting to remove the "files" folder from /data/data/com.google.android.music/ and replace it with a link to a "files" folder on ext sd. Didn't work, guess because it was made for phones where Google Play Music saved files INSIDE data/data/com.google.android.music/files. On my phone, music is saved on sdcard0, in .../android/data/com.google.android.music/files , and sdcard's filesystem does not allow links.
tl,dr
How can I save my Google Music offline library on Android to ext SD without links and keeping it recognizable by the Play Music server?
Thanks for reading.
Edit 1 : after really deleting my whole music library the free space detected by Google Play Music grew. I was quite happy, and even believed for a second that it was going to use both storage locations and split media among them. I was wrong. I have the message "6gb of free space" still there, and by the same time the error "can't download music for offline play : not enough space". Gogol pls
anyone can help with this?
Can't download music as it says I have now space. Have over 18gb on internal, over 60 on external card.
Anyone else have this issue?
I got my spare battery and 200gb SD card from LG. I decided to put all my music collection on the card that way I dont have to stream it, which sometimes I cant in bad service areas. I put a lot of the music on the card and see that the album art is now showing in the gallery. Is there a way to exclude these images from the gallery? It has added a bunch of folders that are not needed.
Any info is appreciated.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Using a file manager, create a file called .nomedia in the folder that contains the album art. You may need a 3rd party file app from the Play store, not sure if the stock one lets you create files.
Edit: I just noticed this presents the music player from recognizing the music as well. I feel like I've done this before tho.. Lol
Album art file should be named albumart.jpg and they won't show up
If you use a tag editor to load the images ( this may require you to transfer them to the internal memory then back to the SD) then you can delete the files all together.
