what programs or services can be used to download and more importantly subscribe to podcasts that will download and play on the 6800?
thanks
I have been copying the mp3's over to the storage card and playing via media player of choice.
I would like to know if there were a podcast subscriber myself.
Hi Folks
I've got a NAS at home which I can easily connect to from my GS2 when out and about and I can view all my stored files (music, photos and vids)
These are remote files sitting on my NAS box at home and not locally stored on the phone or my SD card.
I can also select any of the remote music and photos files and they open just fine with the installed stock apps , but when I try and open a vid (avi & divx formats) the stock video app doesnt like it
I was wondering whether anyone has any recommendations on a video/media player that can open my vids (avi & divx) from a connection over the internet?
Thanks
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.
I have music files in PC, and I want to keep them there but want to play through my device. I have turned on sharing for these files and almost all apps on my mobile can detect and play these files but these apps act more like file managers/explorers rather than music players i.e they do not have options to play next track, shuffle, etc. So I am in search for an app which is a music player and its source of data is DLNA (or PC sharing, whatever it is scientifically called). Please recommend me one if you know.
I'm hoping to get some advice/suggestions as to the best iTunes-esque desktop based music manager to use to organise and sync playlists on my phone. I do have a subscription for Youtube Music so I do use that to listen to music most of the time but I also like to have my music collection and playlists remotely on my phone too.
Previously, I have used MusicBee to do this and I have all of my songs, album art and playlists organised on there but it can be a bit frustrating when it comes to syncing as sometimes instead of just transferring the new songs, it'll just start syncing the whole library as if nothing is on the phone.
Any suggestions for a good desktop-based music manager or alternatively, any other solutions to best manage the files onto my phone?

I may have misunderstood your question, but YouTube Music has an Android app you can use to remotely have all of your songs, playlists, etc... And on your pc if you have chrome, you can download the YouTube Music chrome app.
And if you want an alternative to YT Music go for Spotify, they have a PC and Android software.
Again, I think I totally missed your point so please clarify (or tell me I didn't missed the point lol)
Have a good one
