So what are my options for syncing music to my evo3d?
I know I can just mount USB and drag and drop files but I was hoping for something a bit more automated. I am especially interested in having playlists I make on the desktop available on the phone.

If you use itunes, easy phone tunes or google music
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
google music or amazon cloud sync or even zumocast
I use doubleTwist with the AirSync plug-in, it wirelessly syncs selected iTunes playlists to my phone.
Thanks for the suggestions but most seem to either involve iTunes or is some sort of streaming service.
I just bought a 32GB card specifically so I could carry my music on my phone, it's my primary portable music device. I don't have the best signal where I live so streaming is sort of out of the question for me because just as I get into the song, it will cut off and just ruin it lol
I am thinking of using SyncToy to sync the music folder on my desktop to my phone.
I could also do Spotify but I think it converts songs to 160kbps before syncing them and the songs aren't available to other music players because of the way it stores it.
No one has replicated on android what happens on the iPhone?

as far as i know, you can't do this, the itunes music or movies has DRM protection. you only can play them on apple products.

They stopped DRM'ing Music a long time back, their movies are still DRM'd.
There are a number of options for sync'ing with iTunes, search the forums here, others have detailed methods (I'm not an iTunes user, so can't really help).
To be honest I think the best advice is to break the shackles and just tag your collection properly. Then it'll work with everything that isn't Apple with simple sideloading, and still work with Apple via iTunes.
the best way is copy all your music tracks, copy and paste to SD card, done. there's not much you need to do, just drag and drop.
As someone else has said, you can use iSyncr if all you're interested in is syncing playlists. Another option (and one that I use) is Salling Media Sync, which lets you sync iTunes playlists, podcasts and photos.
I use missing sync to sync my music folder in mac to sgs2. Works great
What features would you like to see added/removed, and are you happy with it compared to the stock music app, or how do you feel it stacks up against another music app.
*This is a general topic, and I'm just curious to see the community's response.*
I don't use it. It doesn't have features I need.
Namely, ability to keep the screen from sleeping, and the ability to limit where it looks for music at.
i like gmusic. I dont use it daily (I use slacker daily) but gmusic works great when I do need it. Its far more reliable than when it first came out, so they're definitely making progress.
My only complaint is when I flash a new rom, it registers my phone as a new device so it adds it to gmusic (which is great) but google limits it to 8 devices. So occasionally I need to go into gmusic website and delete my old devices, which is all the same phone. Its not really a complaint for google but i wish there was a way for it to detect that its the same device/IMEI
I personally love google music I use it daily. I have a computer for school and don't want to cramp it up with music so I can stream everything. Also I use my phone in my truck for music and it is nice to have access to all my music when I need it.
Absolutely love it. I have my entire collection stored. My main problem lies when I'm doing file management and the media scanner starts while I'm playing music. Google Music stops streaming completely and I have to manually restart it. I turned caching off, so that the song being played is solely dependent on the connection, but it still does it. I suppose it stops to look for new songs that might have been added. I'd like it to at least resume playback when scanning stops.
The other thing is with optimization I guess. In my last billing cycle, I got throttled and streaming was impossible (as expected). However, Pandora was still able to stream entire songs, for long sessions without stutter (it just took longer between songs). I'm curious if it'd be possible for them to improve performance on slow networks, so that it's on par with Pandora.

General is something related directly to the phone or an app that comes stock with the phone. GoogleMusic does not fit that description since it has to be installed by the user and not everyone uses it. This should have been in Themes and Apps. Just sayin'.
I wish it would sync with a folder on my phone with all my music, so that when it tries to play a song, it checks that folder on my phone first before downloading the song with a weird name in another random folder. That way, whenever I add a song on my computer to the Google Music Folder, it adds to my phone as well when I try to play it, keeping my music in sync.

I love google music.
Especially after switching from iTunes and my iPhone 4. I really hated iTunes haha
i like it on my zoom and Google TV. But I wish it would sync playlist too. A good playlist takes time and it wouldn't be nice to listen to them on phone, tablet and TV. The main thing that make be go back to the Samsung music player is that while connected to my Bluetooth stereo it shows track info on the stereo but the Google music doesn't. Not a big thing, but enough to keep me using the samsung player. If those two were fixed it would be a perfect player.

Absolutely love Google music. No complaints here, it works great. I'm really happy that Google came out with this app, I show everyone with an Android phone.
im using PowerAmp i think its better than gMusic
Not bad... Steaming better but still slower than other streaming apps.
My biggest complaint is music purchased can only be played in gmusic and can't be downloaded to phone or computer. Frustrating when I paid for something. if they keep prices at $4.99 album $.49 song I might get over it... Doubtful that will last.
Saw app in market that claims to make music portable though.

Just click on the song you purchased and click download. It will let you download it at 320k and no drm. Also the google music manager has an option to auto download any purchased songs to your pc automatically.

I need to know what/how people are syncing their music with their phones. I purchased MediaMonkey for me and my gf (we both have I777) and was able to sync my playlist in MediaMonkey to the phone. However, I messed up the playlist. I added a file to the root of the external SD card called '.isaudioplayer' and that caused the m3u file to have incorrect paths. When I viewed the m3u file in a text editor on the phone, It said F:/Music/yadda. Obviously, F: is wrong. How are your playlists listed? Thanks for the assistance!
have you thought about using google music? No need to sync your music at all. Just stream from the app.
+1 on google music, I use it every day and love it
I have Google Music. I don't like it. The Android app sucks. I tell it to only play local music, and it plays online music anyway. The app won't reload it's list of music (after an upload to the SD card). I have to reboot the phone to get the app to see the new music. I have uploaded my library to Google Music, but I wasn't finished tagging the library correctly. So basically, I need to finish tagging the library correctly, erase everything on Google Music, and then re-upload. Then create playlists. Not to mention the fact, that I have MythTV at home to play music in my living room, and Subsonic to stream music to the phone/work desktop. I hate having to create playlists. That's the worst thing in the world. If Google actually created/released APIs for Google music, then MediaMonkey/MythTV could integrate (not to mention the really cool CM9 inspired new Music app out there).
I also received a message from AT&T telling me I was in the top 5% of users this month. I find that completely unbelievable. I only stream music for ~20 minutes a day. Be it from home via Subsonic, or Google Music. So having it local helps. Not to mention the GF is on my plan now, but we only gave her 2GBs. That will just be eaten up by Google Music.
But the biggest issue is I want the music on my phone because when I hit the fitness room in the basement of my office, I get 0 WLAN bars and 0 3G bars. So I need local music. GF also has the issue of signal strength where she goes.
Does anyone have a playlist.m3u file I could look at to see the proper format of the file? Also, is there anyone else like me out there that actually puts music on their phones now?
I tried media monkey, but ultimately it didn't work out for me. What I ended up doing was using winamp on the computer to sync my music and playlists to my phone, actually my SD card. I lose the ability to do wireless sync, but I like keeping all of my music on the external memory. Also, I didn't really like the winamp for android, so I switched to using playerpro. The playlists and everything work out very nicely, and they stay in sync.

iSyncr or doubleTwist Airsync i'd suggest looking into. They are probably the top of the list aside from Google Music.
I've been using doubleTwist and it is everything i could need however it comes with a whole new Media Program to install (stills syncs with iTunes though).
iSyncr is nice if you only want to use iTunes because it's basically an "addon" and this way you don't need a whole new media managing program.
Google Music is very basic and simple. You might as well get it anyways as a backup but I don't personally like the app/online management of music; it is just too difficult to edit files. However if you want to go this route you can get Google Music Importer which will let you save the music you pin for offline mode from within the android app to be used in other music app's (otherwise you are forced with always using the Google Music app to play the music from online).
Tried iSync and doubletwist and settled on iSync. so I keep my music on itunes and just sync with the phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
I used iSyncr for a while, worked great, but I hated being tied down to iTunes. Bought MediaMonkey and, after some configs, I love it.
I have it set so that songs are:
/sdcard/MediaMonkey/Music/songs
And playlists:
/sdcard/MediaMonkey/Music/playlists
And I have the playlists to have relative paths, so drive letters don't matter.
PlayerPro works just fine with this setup. So does PowerAMP.
Here's my device config XML, just import in MediaMonkey if you like.
Syncing? What's that?
I just copy everything I want to listen to, to /my_music on the internal storage.
Edit: I don't use playlists either, blegh.

Thanks for the suggestions all. We are trying to move away from iTunes at home. The fact is that iTunes on Windows doesn't support FLAC audio. It does on OS X, but I'm not going that route. I guess I just deal with the faults of MediaMonkey. But really, if anyone can just attach their m3u file that WORKS on the Android phone, then I'd be grateful. Thanks!
I will upload a few sample m3u files when I get onto a computer.

I linked you how to get MediaMonkey working perfectly for sync...
I use MediaMonkey. I have 40K+ songs to choose from to sync to a 32GB card, so I select a few playlists of select songs to fill it up. Auto-syncs every time I plug the MicroSD card into the computer (I hate having to shut the phone off, but I found syncing to be faster when the card is directly plugged in versus plugging the phone in).
No problems here. Syncing is fast and never have any issues.
I use iSyncr. Support for iTunes Smart playlist is a must for how I manage a series of ever changing playlists. Because it also maintains the correct smart playlist order (something that Apple messed up with iTunes 10.5/iOS5 on my iPod Touch) it syncs music better than iTunes does for my iPod.
Well I finally got this working. I found out that simply RIGHT clicking on a playlist, and telling it to sync to the mounted I777 will sync the music in that playlist, but NOT the actual playlist. Pretty crappy design in my opinion.
I figured it out last night. In Media Monkey, go to your device you want to sync. In the AUTO-SYNC tab, click on the playlists in the left pane of the device window. Then choose the playlists you want to auto-sync. Then go to the OPTIONS tab in that same device window, and tell it to "Create Playlists for:" and choose "Synced Playlists" (I'm not in front of MM now, but it's something like that option). Then tell it to use relative paths, and to swap the "\" for the "/". Done and done. PITA.

Google Music's online streaming uses A LOT of data. Even for 20 minutes worth. GM single handedly made me go over my data. They need to fix that. The only way around it is making songs available offline.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
Music streaming from google music is the same as everything else. A song is roughly 6mb, 20 minutes would be around 30mb downloaded. It does take an extreme about of data usage and other then uploading lower quality songs not much will change it. Make sure you don't have "download high quality"option in settings checked.
You can also pin songs to keep them usable offline.

Try double twist or isync on market. U ain't saving them play counts though
Easier way:
Go to itunes and consolidate files (search Google on howto)
Then go to that file directory on your computer (perhaps C: >iTunes>media>music)
COPY AND PASTE THE MUSIC TO THE MEDIA FOLDER OF YOUR ANDROID PHONE
Or if you have an external sd card (which I highly suggest you get) just copy and paste with no orginization
That's IT.
When you buy new music from itunes (which in practice it only makes sence to buy it from Google now) repeat this process!
NOTE: CONSOLIDATING YOUR MUSIC WILL ADD MEMORY TO YOUR COMPUTER. NOT A BIG DEAL WHATSOEVER BUT I THOUGHT ID TELL YOU.
P.s.: don't use doubletwist its a pain in the ass unless you want 2 programs doing the same thing
Playlists function the same way except you must copy the music first onto your phone. once that's complete you have to export the playlist from itunes
(Right click playlist>export>search>choose file directory [wherever your music/media is])

Go to music.Google.com.
You can open a Google music account for free and download " music manager". (It will give you this option when you register). It will automatically add your entire iTunes library to Google server and you can then listen to your music anywhere on the stream with Google play music app. Might take a while to upload everything depending on the size of your library. And you can set it to automatically upload any files you add to your iTunes library from this point forward. It works flawlessly.
A gamechanger.

There are many options(almost too many), but your best bet is google music. My wife has an iPod and every time she gets a new song it automatically uploads with music manager. You can't go wrong with this option because you never have to worry about it again. If you have no need for your iTunes account anymore then you can start buying all your content from google from here on out. Another plus is no space is taken up on your sd.

OK, but...
Please correct me if I am wrong, but one big downside I see to Google Music is that you are streaming (and not syncing) all your music, correct?
I don't mind putting another copy of my library in Google Music, but it would be much more useful to me if it had some sort of iCloud/iTunes Match functionality where the local library on the phone was automatically updated when on WiFi, etc.
I have "unlimited" data, so I really don't care, but I never liked the notion of streaming my music. I would prefer to have it local.
If there is an option to sync within Google Music and not a 3rd-party app, I would really like to hear more.
Thanks!

It is absolutely that. A cloud service that stores all your media online. There is a way to make songs available offline on your phone, but I've never used it. I absolutely love it. Just download music manager to your PC or Mac and it will do the rest. Download the google music app to your phone(not a third party app) and all your iTunes songs will be there waiting for you.

Is there a setting that just automatically downloads all songs locally to the SD card though? I have tried manually making select songs available, but that isn't the point (for me). I want more automatic, iTunes-like syncing. If you have ever used iCloud or Match you would know what I am talking about.
I don't mind using iTunes to manage my media, I just want a way to sync all my devices (iOS and Android) and keep them in automatic sync. I don't mind downloading the song once, but I am not interested in streaming. I put 32 or 64GB SD cards in my devices because I want the content local at all times.
If anyone has a more automated workflow for that, I am very interested.
Thanks again!

Hi All,
Having moved over to an S3 from a iPhone... and leaving Apple forever... I'd like to get access to all my iTunes music. Don't care about playlists and stuff... just want the music.
Questions...
1. Is there a way of getting all the music out of iTunes and into another desktop replacement for iTunes?
2. Obviously I ultimately want to get all my music onto my S3... so bearing that in mind, what the best way of integrating my phone with a desktop music player?
Ultimately I want to completely uninstall iTunes and remove Apple from my life totally!!!
Many Thanks for your advice

if you use a pc than you can use the windows media player to synchronize your phone with your local music library. since the galaxy s3 mounts as mtp device media player will recognize it when plugged in (while media player being open) and ask you if you want to sync your stuff onto it.
another method would be installing samsung kies onto your system. i think it can sync your media files to the phone as well.
if u want cable usb tranfer
winamp is ur best bet, its a bit buggy but it works.
if u want wireless tranfers. u now have 50gb+ on dropbox, buy dropsync from store.
it amazing. it only syncs what u need, do it over wifi, to save money.
Samsung Easy Phone Sync
I think this is what you're after
http://easyphonesync.com/
There is a desktop & phone app that does exactly what you need.
Recommended by Samsung when they released the S3 as a way of getting people off iphones when their main reason for not switching was "all my songs are in itunes"
I used it myself, worked perfect although depending on how much stuff yo have you may need an extra mem card:silly:

Having moved over to an S3 from a iPhone... and leaving Apple forever... I'd like to get access to all my iTunes music. Don't care about playlists and stuff... just want the music.
Questions...
1. Is there a way of getting all the music out of iTunes and into another desktop replacement for iTunes?
2. Obviously I ultimately want to get all my music onto my S3... so bearing that in mind, what the best way of integrating my phone with a desktop music player?
Ultimately I want to completely uninstall iTunes and remove Apple from my life totally!!!
Many Thanks for your advice

If your on windows then open the music folder and click folder properties and unhide all files. After you done that a folder called iTunes media will appear, Click it and all your songs are there.
If you're on mac then in the search preferences click unhide all files and click it, after that go to your music folder and find the iTunes media folder and drag all the music into your s3..
i use the app iSyncr from Google Play Store, it lets u sync your Playlists, albums, last played it also supports ratings and play counts.
there's also a wifi sync support.
Their is a thread possibly a sticky for moving from ITunes but it might be in SGS2 forum .
