Hello guys,
I have been looking for a music player that can go thru folders and able to add a particular song to a playlist that doesn't require opening the file.
Or as an alternative, an app like astro but with a music option to add an mp3 to a playlist.
Ny suggestions guys? Thanks a lot guys.

PowerAmp reads folders (or your library) and can add songs to a playlist by long pressing on the song.
If you want an app that builds playlists on the phone try Playlist Builder.
Mortplayer i think is what your looking fkr

Thank you guys for the replies.
PowerAmp sounds really good. I will try that as soon as I get a 2.2 update..

Thanks for the app recommendation but I can't add playlist with a long press. I will be keeping it though because atleast I can play a song inside a full folder. I am currently organizing all my MP3s and make main folders by genre and inside will be sub-folders of artists, and inside those sub-folders will be the songs. I am also editing the MP3 tags.
Thank you guys a lot.. These 2 players makes me a happy man. =)
If you use Windows I recommend Mp3Tag and if you want to create some playlists with your PC try Playlist Creator.
Thanks for the recommendation but mp3tag has no way to import tags but it can export tags in excel file though. I found a windows based program that is pretty powerful and can import and export, just can't think of the name right now.
Thanks again guys. I have been using mortmusic player for the last 5 days and I love this app even without making a playlist. The way I am organizing my mp3s I probably wouldn't need playlist anyway..
Have you tried Mixzing? I got it recently looking for something that would play by folder, since all my music is meticulously organized by folder even though many don't have artist or album tags of any kind. Most music players split up all my organizing to try to re-organize by album or artist, which doesn't work for me.
Mixzing works great for me, so far. And it goes out and downloads album and artist info if I want it to.
I downloaded MortPlayer to try, too, but I just haven't gotten around to playing with it much.
My mp3 music is organized the same as yours and I want to play music by folders and sub-folders. Mp3 tags just doesnt work for me. I played with mixzing before with my HTC evo but never really satisfied with it hence why I was still looking. Atleast for now, mortplayer is keeping me happy.

any substitute for our dear music player? im not really impressed with the player we hve right now.. i am looking for something that can have playlist on it so that i can choose just the right song for the right time.. thanks!
[apk files and screenshots is very much appreciated]
I use doubleTwist, it works great. You can also download the doubleTwist desktop program (aka iTunes for Android) to sync media to your phone.
I'm using Btunes,the clone of iphone music player..
nice nice.. both are great.. thanks guys..
I recommend "3" or "Cubed" (it's the same) or RockOn. And they are free.
Cubed/3: http://abrantix.org/3.php
Rock On: http://abrantix.org/rockon.php
u can create mu3 playlist with any program with the songs on your sd card on your pc, save it on your card and the media player on your phone will have it
gee thanks... thats too many options for me..
i've settled with mixzing after trying doubletwist and btunes. the best match for my needs as it can add all songs from the same genre into the now playing list.
you can download an older version (which is ad free) from brothersoft, if you don't need the funky capabilities of the latest verison (e.g. equalizer)
I am losing hope to find good player for android...
Does anyone know some good player for android? I tested few and none of them fits my expectations. Until now i was listening videos and music on Play Station Portable, that player was just perfect (only playlist option and it would be totally perfect).
I need a player that can browse videos and music through folders (not showing all folders in one place, it is useless, but just folder explorer), and it should play videos. And should have ability to repeat music and videos also.It is all that i need, but everywhere are just useless aplications... I have found PlayerPro, it was quite good...
but for music only. videos was still packed all in one window, without even folders.
I have x10 mini pro, with 2.1-update1 android (it is impossible to update it on my phone T_T)
I am stuck, i do not want to take phone and psp with me everyday. Android is computer, they said...... ehh... I can even pay for good app, becouse i have no choice. Thank You very much.
(btw, what is the reason developers do thing like this? Why not use same interface for videos, or why not to browse files just by folders? i will never get it...)
When i had this x10 mini, i used Uber music

Hey mates,
i'm wondering if its possible to make a playlist with the tracks in one folder and not sorted by album, artist, or so.
i have many albums which havent got id3-tags, so they're all in the category "unknown". but on my SD, theyre sorted in folders..
so is this possible?
hope you understand what i mean.
thanks in advance,
DN41
Move all the music to your pc, delete all the folders on the HD2 that have music in except the music file on the sd card, empty that file, copy all the music tracks into that file (not the folders) simplez
thanks for your reply.
but isnt there an easier way? just like sort it in the folders they are in the player?..
DN41
i found out, that a playlist created with WMP on my hd2 is also shown in sense player.
in wmp pocket its possible to create playlists by folders. so you can create in wmp the playlist with the songs in one folder and you'll have it in sense player

Still, one must admit iPod is much easier to use
I was an "apple hater" for many years, but after using my sisters Nano, Sense player just does not measure up for me
Maybe someone knows of an application that emulates iPod in WM6.5?

And for those of us that used to have iPods and, therefore, have a large collection of music encoded in the smaller-per-bit rate AAC format used by default in iTunes, Sense can't even sort our music into track order. So annoying. HTC's music player in Android doesn't have this problem for some reason...
Anyhooooooo, I can't help you with better software for your HD2, but we can get iTunes to kinda work with the HD2 - try iTunes Agent. Works well with itunes. Oh, it's free too : ) http://ita.sourceforge.net/
Dependent upon how you set it up, your HD2 will appear as a single playlist on the left of the iTunes window. Anything you add or remove from the playlist will be changed on the HD2 next time you choose to synchronise. iTunes Agent will also add the files to your SD card in Artist/Album sub folders if you like. If you turn on the right browsing options in iTunes, you will see the three columns at the top of the music list, Genre, Artist, Album - this way it makes it really easy to browse what's 'on' your HD2 (much better than one long list).
iTunes Agent doesn't yet support exporting playlists to your device, so if you want to go a stage further and export other iTunes playlists to your phone....
1. just highlight the songs in the desired playlist in iTunes, say ' melt your face off rock anthems' and drag them to the HD2 playlist, then sync with iTunes Agent to get them onto you storage card.
2. Export the first playlist from iTunes (Melt your face off rock anthems) by right clicking on it, hitting export, then choosing .M3U as the file type.
3. Go to where you exported it and open it with notepad. Delete the first line "#EXTM3U", then use the Edit/Replace function in Notepad to correct the file path (e.g Find What: "C\:itunes music" Replace With: "Storage Card\MP3") to reflect where you store music on your phone. Save (as Unicode if I remember correctly).
4. Copy playlist to Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Playlists on your phone then soft reset. Once the phone finishes scanning your card after rebooting, the playlist should appear in Sense Player.
There are two things to watch out for when creating playlists on your phone this way. First is the poopy way iTunes cuts off (appends - my old english teacher would be so proud, not) long track or album names e.g "01 My funky monkey groove mix shubbla ding fong.m4a" will be abbreviated to "01 My funly monkey groove mix shu~.m4a". These entries have to be edited manually in the playlist as far as I can see. (!!!!) Second, you can't edit these playlists on the phone. When you reset the phone the changes are gone. No idea why.
I know this doesn't quite answer your question, but give it a go if you have iTunes on your PC. It has made transferring music to my HD2 so much easier. The only bummer is having to connect the phone in disc mode, which is hardly major.

I just noticed, that some of my MP3 files have the lyrics in it.
How can I add lyrics text to other MP3 files, so the standard Galaxy S3's music player will see it?
I've added some .lrc files with same name as Mp3 files, but it doesn't work...
And I don't want to use: musiXmatch. I just want to see text of all songs in the standard music player.
Bump!
bump
i dont think this will work, the lyrics have to be imbedded in the MP3
maybe im wrong.....but i think this will be a No Go for you buddy.
Thanks for answer.
I thought I can add this text into MP3 with any program or something...
you can try program like musixmatch, it will download lyrics for your tunes automatically
Try the software MP3Tag with this script.
Also take a look here.
I know this may sound crazy in an Android forum but I did this using iTunes. You can add the lyrics to the files from iTunes. I found it to be the easiest.
Just find a program that will allow you to edit the Lyrics portion of the ID3 tag. Yes, iTunes can do this, but it is certainly not the 'easiest'.
Off the top of my head, MediaMonkey, JRiver, and maybe Songbird can do this.
Hey all,
Im trying to find a way to organize my songs somehow.
I would like to separate my music into to categories or folders, one for rock and one for country and then be able to pick either country or rock from my stock Htc music player.
I can/have hooked my phone up to my comp, created 2 folders and organized my songs accordingly. The problem is when I start up my music player the player does not recognize the folders and just gives me a complete list of songs on my phone.
Sometimes I just want to listen to rock and other times, chill out to some country. If I had the ability to pick a gene/folder within my music player, then I could just shuffle all songs within that folder only.
I have not been able to figure out how to make the phone/music player recognize folders
Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
Thank you,

I do believe you can set up playlists and just pick that from the music player, otherwise find a music player that does support them.

I have tons of songs for each gen. It would not be worth it to hand pick the songs, way to time consuming. Its quicker to just skip songs, that is what I'm doing now, Hoping for a much better solution.
Thanks for the input

Sounds like that might work, Im going to give it a try

Although not folder sorted, separation by Genre is sort of built into the MP3 standard, you just have to add the appropriate Genre tag to the files. There are multiple programs for Windows/Mac/Linux that can edit MP3 tags on single or multiple files at once. Then you just need a music player that can sort and play by Genre, like Winamp, PowerAmp, Fusion, N7, or most full-featured players.
You can also use an app like this to make playlists based off of what songs are in what folder.

Thanks Zourn, I will check that out.
Sounds like with the feed back Im getting, something is going to work for me
Thanks everyone
My music library is very well-organized; I use a tool called beets to synchronize all my tags with the MusicBrainz database. As a result, on desktop, all my albums are sorted by album artist sort. However, I have been unable to find a single Android music app that pays any attention to the "sort" tags at all.
Apps I've tried:
Lineage/AOSP Music
Poweramp
Blackplayer
Foobar2000
Musicolet
AIMP
DoubleTwist
Oto Music
Half of these apps just sort the albums alphabetically by title (gross!). The rest sort by album artist (non-sort), so that half my library ends up sorted under T, for "The".
This is important to me because all my albums end up in a totally different order with album artist vs album artist sort. For example, "Miles Davis" goes under M, but "Davis, Miles" goes under D. So now when I open my phone, I can't find anything. Is there even a single app that gets this right?
Music folder>Artist folder>album folder with track number/name.
Poweramp works perfectly after it's configured.
Poweramp is managing a music library of 231gb; 778 folders and over 6500 songs for me on 2 twin N10+'s.
Tags are a waste of time because they generally aren't transferable. Playlists however are easily backed up and recreated with Poweramp as long as the whole music database is also backed up.
Thanks for your reply.

My library is already in this exact format already, in fact. Just switching from "Album" to "Folder" view in Poweramp doesn't change anything, but I can see how I could rename all my artist folders to the sort album artist instead. While I'm at it, I guess I should prepend the release date to each album folder—this would get me the exact sorting I'm looking for. With a library manager, this kind of overhaul is still a pain, but at least it's doable. Thanks for the tip.

I would have to disagree…I have a dual-boot system where Quod Libet, Cantata, and Lollypop on Linux, plus MusicBee on Windows, happily read the same files and all their tags. Android is the odd man out—probably because the Android MediaStore doesn't include the album artist
In any case, I think I answered my own question: GoneMAD. It can handle the sort artist tags just like a normal media player, and there's an artist>year sort option for the albums tab. All I could ever ask…somehow it managed to duck every single listicle I've read and it gets no attention on the Play Store. Go figure. I've been looking for this exact app for years.

Good to see you're organized. That's important with a music database.
I use Poweramp because it's rock solid and it's settings, all of them, can be 100% backed up and recreated at will. Advanced troubleshooting and throughput options. It's graphic equalizer is the best I've used and supports multiple presets that can be tagged to song or folder. The equalizer is a big deal and mandatory for me. I spent a big chunk of time dialing in the Buds+ with it.
It's only downside is it doesn't support video for MP4's and such.
