Can't sync playlists to sgs2??? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've tried quite a few things now, and the furthest I can get is to get all music, and other media on the device - but the stock Music Player won't recognise the playlists.
I organised all my playlist in Samsung Kies. Nice & neat. Even tried 3rd party programs on the PC to create .pls / .m3u hoping the phone would recognise that......but nothing.
PowerAmp detects it fine, but why can't the stock player see it? I'd like to use the stock player as I do like the look of it.

i have the same problem. i made my playlists in windows media player and imported them in kies but when i transfers them to my phone i cant see them......

I just use PowerAmp now. Gave up on the stock apps.

ok thanks i did it another way. i just add one list af the time and then use the recent playlist to add all the songs in a new playlist and then i remove the songs from recent playlist and start all over a bit more work.
is poweramp any good? only tried the trial version but didnt like it that much and couldnt find my playlists...

I got the full version. Once i worked it all out - I'm pretty impressed with it.

I can't sync my playlists from iTunes on my GSII either, this must be a bug or maybe Samsung needs to come up with an update to fix this issue. I'm currently using iSync software.

Good software to sync with poweramp?

Looking for some computer software that I can use as my standard to play music and then sync up with my android. I'm using windows media player for now but I'm not a fan of it for these purposes. I'm looking for something similar to zune. preferably ability to instant drag and drop sync like zune or at least similar. and also i want it to be able to update... ie if i edit song info in the program i want my phone to reflect those changes (useful for when i have 'unknown artist' showing up on my phone). album art would also be a must
thanks!
I am using itunes on my pc and i sync with wifi tunes sync on my android and pc, works geat for me

Subsonic is the only music player I use anymore, the version in the market is broken in ICS though. You can find newer builds on their forum...and if you don't know what it is, it converts and streams anything on your computer to your phone, it also keeps a cache of stuff you have steamed for offline playback, you can choose the cache location and size too

Yeah I'm really not looking for any of that. Just want something as an easy and clean way to transfer music to my phone.
Tried using double twist and I think it was the worst program I've ever used. uninstalled. Are there any programs that clearly die me a songs sync status? I don't sync all of my music so I like to be able to see whether or not I have synced something yet without having to bounce back and forth

FTP, drag and drop.
I might do a tutorial because I purchased double twist airsync, it works, but its kinda slow and I prefer drag n drop.

I'm using MusicBee, it syncs and transcode, also delete files that are not in your library/playlist
You can sync your whole Library or just a Playlist
I don't think you need anything to sync with PA
The problem with poweramp is that it doesnt save the rating for the files. otherwise, there is no need to sync anything. all there is to save is saved in the music file, or can be exported directly from PA.

How to sync music with iTunes?

I want to sync all my music with iTunes since I have everything sorted through it (playlists, album art, etc). I don't like Kies at all and half the sync failed.
Anyone know a way to do so? Thanks.
Here is what you want: http://easyphonesync.com/index.html.
Download the program for your computer and then for your phone in the play store. Reviews are really good and should be exactly what you're looking for for free.
Please hit the thanks button if I've helped.
For what it's worth, that EasyPhoneSync didn't work for me. It spent 3 hours syncing ~40GB of music but when it finished it told me it couldn't sync any of it. Tried it twice with no luck.

That is what I used for the longest time. It's interface is also a good replication of iTunes UI. Best part, you pay for it and you can sync over wifi without having to connect through usb to your computer.
I personally have fully moved away from iTunes and couldn't be happier. I use MediaMonkey on my desktop to play/sort and everything, and I use Google Music to either stream or download for offline listening any songs/play lists I want. It's nice having access to my whole music collection from any computer with an Internet connection

This x10
I just copied and pasted all of my songs from iTunes into a Music folder and put them on my phones internal storage. Can't get any easier than that.
OP: Upload iTunes library to Google Play. Download App. Open App. Done.
Best part is, music doesn't take up any SD space.
Agree, using Google Play (music) is the easiest and best way. You can also access your music on any computer.

I think the best option is iSyncr and iSyncr Wifi. That has worked flawlessly for me. With Google Play I always get duplicates in the playlists.
I use audiogalaxy to stream music from my computer. Works great!

I am going the Google Music route and seems to be fine so far but does anyone know of a better widget than that ugly 1x4 that is with the phone. TIA

Really want to sync iTunes with my GS3

I switched to a Galaxy S III from iPhone about two weeks ago. I love everything about it, except the music management. I want to sync my phone with my iTunes library, while still using my stock music app. This is the reason I don't want to use doubleTwist because when you change a playlist on the phone, it doesn't sync between doubleTwist and the stock music app. I thought about using Google Music and have it all uploaded. How can I get my offline Google Music to sync with the stock app - playlists and all?
I could also use Amazon Cloud Player if it syncs better.
iSyncr from Google play. Works Perfect for me.
Isyncr works great.

Another vote for iSyncr. Great app.
I also use iSyncr together with their Rocket Player app. Works great with iTunes.

so I have never heard of isyncer but is it better then easy tune sync?
I'm a big fan of the iSyncer - keeps everything synced up wirelessly and can be set to sync at intervals. Quick question for the others using it... have you noticed any problems with the stock music player?? When I go to the list of playlists the phone freezes up and I cannot scroll up and down and finally just have to wait until the phone ask me to shut down or wait. If i'm on artist, album, songs it will scroll up and down, no problem... not sure if it is the playlist files that is freezing things up?? Anybody else seeing this? J
You can use DoubleTwist too. It'll sync to your iTunes and you can select which playlist you want to sync, and bam... done
Sucks that doubleteist runs so slow though... I've tried it a few times in my Mac and SLOW is an understatement

Never had that problem and I use the stock music player.
Howmany playlists do you have? I think I'm sitting around 45... maybe that's why? But then i would think the artist, albums would freeze too since there are more of those... any 3rd party app works just fine though... except rocket player, the album covers blink/flash when looking at an artist's albums....

[Q] Managing/editing songs and playlists.

Hi, I would like to know if there is any way I can manage and edit playlists and songs info on my galaxy s2. I have tried using Samsung Kies but it dosen't have the ability to edit song info and playlists that are created with the stock music player in my phone. Recently after connecting my phone to the computer, songs added in my playlist have been disappearing and songs info are removed(like the ablum art,artist info etc etc), I used apps downloaded from the market to edit the info of the songs . So I would like to be able to save my playlist and song info on my computer somehow. My phone is also rooted but I don't think it is the cause of this bug.

You could actually. I'm using PowerAMP Player. You could also try it.
Thanks for the suggestion. However, do you think it would be possible to create a m3u playlist on my phone and import it into the stock music player.

That I do not know because when I create a playlist, I stick to whatever music player I am using.

Try creating playlists in Windows Media Player & then use it to sync with your phone. Works for Cowon Android media players, might work with the SGS2. This assumes you're using the stock music app, obviously; most other music apps allow you to create playlists (Neutron doesn't, but you can create Poweramp playlists & point Neutron to those to get them working).
Edit - This method works with Cowon D2/D3, might be worth a try if you're going to keep using the stock music app (would be easier to buy another app from Google Play tho).
"Player Pro" is another music app you can create playlists. It's a grate music player as well. once you create a playlist most music players can use it (according to my knowledge)

App to Manage Music On Android

Coming from iphone/itunes and want to know what is a good music managing app that I can use?
I really like the feature in itunes where it keeps your media organized in folders. I also like how you can delete the song in itunes, sync your phone and the song will be gone.
I really need these features in the music app I select.
Ideas?
Check out doubletwist.

Got everything setup on doubletwist and its working pretty well. It will completely remove songs that I dont want and this will also update on the device.
One thing I noticed it doesnt do is change the file when I change its song information. For example, Itunes builds folders based on artist/album and names the song. If you change any of the above info in itunes, it actually renames and moves the file into another folder under its artist.
This is one great feature in itunes and am wanting an android solution.
Ideas?

Any solution to this issue? Any Android music players that will keep the data files organized as well as itunes does it?
