I have tried Media Monkey, Winamp and Double Twist. Media Monkey and Winamp seem to have problems with syncing the playlists and I just dont like Doubletwist that much. Any suggestions on how to sync the Galaxy Player?
Does the Samsung Kies sync program that came with the Galaxy Player sync playlists? I have not figured out a way to do this. If that works, the Kies is the way to sync your files. I do use it to sync my videos but music works but not the playlists as far as I can tell.
FORGOT: Another option is to use Google Music! Sync via the cloud.
Google music is good, but the lack of lockscreen controls kills it for me. I've been using double twist though.

I didn't like that either until I got the Widget Locker app. I added the Google Music Widget to the lockscreen. Not perfect, but does work as an option.
I can share my audio setup, a bit complicated actually.
For frequently listen music, I simply copy the flac files from my Qnap NAS to my Galaxy Player. The entire collection is over 100G in lossless flacs, so it is basically impossible to sync to the player without transcoding (which I don't want to do).
For less frequently listen music, I can do that via streaming on my Galaxy Player. The software needed are
1. Squeeze Center (server software) installed on the Qnap NAS
2. SqueezePlayer App on my Galaxy Player acting as the "virtual player"
3. SqueezeCommander App on my Galaxy Player acting as the "remote control" controlling the server and send the audio stream to the player app.
If you have a solid wifi connection to your home, you can stream your entire collection to your player at CD quality. There are other streaming apps but my home audio setup is already tied to Squeezebox, so I end up with this rather odd setup.
I use Banshee in Ubuntu.
I have a lot of playlists made on iTunes so I like Double Twist. In addition to the music organization that similar players do it seamlessly imports songs and playlists from iTunes.
iSyncr
I have used a lot of the different mentioned apps to sync my itunes lib with my player, and iSyncr is by far the easiest and best. It allows to add music to either internal or SD card memory.

Definitely, Isyncr is the easiest way for me to sync music for me since i use itunes. It's really easy, if you've had an ipod before and synced music from itunes you'll notice that Isyncr syncs all the artists, albums and other tags perfectly.
To Synch with the stock music appliation or any other application:
Try FolderSyncLite (free)
https://market.android.com/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite&hl=en
Share the your music folder on the network
(right click -> properties -> sharing)
Add a new user with login / password
Install application
Add account -> your login / password for your windows share
Share method = Samba/CIFS
Setup the remote folder and your local music folder choose one way synch (PC - > Player)
Choose how often to synch
DONE!
Windows Explorer. Nothing is easier than drag & drop!
I often use Google Music
It just convenient for me
+1 for iSyncr
I drag and drop using Nautilus in Ubuntu.
question about music player wanted to know that is it possible to make playlist in computer add song on that play list like in windows media player or itunes and just place that playlist on s2 . now i have put song in phone then make playlist in music player its annoying is there any to make or place the playlists i have on my system to my galaxy s2. like iphone
Yep, you can make playlists with WMP (or other apps like MediaMonkey) on PC & transfer to the phone, provided the app you're using for music on the phone supports the format of the playlist. Most should support WMP playlists I would have thought.
I know this works with Neutron (or it did the last time I used it in October before it had native playlist capabilities, which the dev has introduced since); don't know about other apps like stock music player, never used them (because stock player is rubbish anyway). Try it & see if you're using another app; make a small playlist in Windoze (say 4-5 songs so you don't waste ages making one only to have it not work on the phone) & test it out with the music app you're using. If WMP playlists don't work, try MediaMonkey or another PC based music app.
Hi folks,
I am currently using Google Music to select the music I want available offline on my device (Nexus 4, only 16GB). I have some playlists that I can update whenever I come up with a new song and as the playlist is marked to be available offline, this new song is synced to my phone. Works quite well for the phone.
But at home when I want to stream music to my audio system via DLNA this doesn't help. I can't use these playlists.
My music is stored on a NAS at home and there are playlists on it too.
Is there an app or something that lets me select playlists from a network device and then copies the content of this playlist, along with the playlist to the phone?
This way I could ditch Google Play Music and avoid maintaining my playlists in two places.
Recently doubletwist's desktop app has been horrible. It exports all my playlists from Doubletwist into Itunes and never closes the initial export playlist dialogue. I am looking for a great music player with a great desktop client. Hopefully one that can sync easily with Itunes. I tried Easy Phone Tunes but it does not sync a lot of my iTunes correctly.
Also one preferably where if I delete a song on the android end, it would sync and delete it permenantly on the desktop end
Have lots of unorganized .flac files on my laptop and so far just play it with vlc or whatever. What player should I install on my windows laptop and android phone to best organize my music and sync between the two and scan for covers etc? Read that google music was nice but it converts my .flac to .mp3 when transferred to my phone ? Also read the installed Samsung Kies is rubbish?
Thanks.
