If I'm not wrong u can create a playlist on PC.
Then u must save it in .m3u format so that the player recognize it.

1) Try an other format like .wmp or .pls
2) put the playlist file in same folder like music [maybe that's the prob?]

my quick playlist method
What I do...i click and drag music files to the phone/memory card first.
Once the files are there, i open up winamp classic, click and drag the mp3's i want in a playlist from the phone into the winamp playlist (shortcut or plus symbol appears on drop).
Now i just click save playlist (m3u) on bottom left tab, and then save the playlist in the phone/memory card music folder.
Done
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just read people have trouble with m3u.
I have always used a 3rd party music player on my android phones including this one...
winamp is a free simple app that works.
also works on player pro
Why don´t you try another player, like winamp or poweramp?

Some media players let you select the folder you want to listen to (and auto selects subfolders [unless you add a file like .nomedia].
Mort player does that (stupid name, but it's a good player). Guy has been developing it since back in the windows mobile days.

Someone said the default music player can't play music from SD card directly. Is that true? I am considering which model (32GB or 16GB) should I buy.

I just tested this. You can play pretty much anything off of the ext sd card that your heart desires, without transferring anything. What I do is use 'es file explorer'. Open that up, and change your default "home" directory to "/" (without quotes) via the settings. This is the root directory of the system. There will be a folder called 'sdcard2'. Which is your external sd. Now you can browse for any file, and play any file you want. Of course, this folder will not be accessible if you just open the music/video player; unless you use the file transfer app. But just use a file explorer. Its the same thing!

But using a file explorer will not let you play all the songs at once. You can only play each song one by one...

This is true. So, you'd have to use the file transfer app for that. We need root!!! And all of these tedious issues would go away. I need to start running some adb commands. Lol!

Thanks both of you. Is that a android 3.X problem? or the app just search the specific music folder on internal storage, so it can play music from other directory.
What happens if you have an .m3u playlist file together with your mp3 list in the card, and open that one with an m3u app, for example?

Actually its a Sony issue. All of the other tablets that I've had (gtab, xoom, transformer) did not suffer from this issue. I believe that Sony did this to prevent users from "expanding" their storage. Its lame, but after root it would be an easy fix!
EDIT: Im pretty sure that third-party apps don't suffer from locating the ext sd card via their interfaces. I think its just the built-in Sony apps? Definitely not an android 3.x issue.

Hi,
Just tried this on my sony tablet, m3u opening is tricky but there's another, simpler way:
Install Astro Player Nova, for example
Then navigate to /mnt/sdcard2 and just select all mp3 files and let 'em rip!

Ok, guys you can play music or videos from the SD card but using a third party app like for music I use PowerAmp and for video Video MX and it works flawlessly.
still no good news about playing music SD card using the default music player??
Even more simple
With the Poweramp player you can select in the settings wich folders you want to be in your library included the one from your ext sd card. So you can play every album you have on it, shuffle it, make playlists etc...

Sorry, didn't see this post. But that's the way to go!
Feel dumb cause I don't know this by now.... But is there any way to choose what folder my music plays out of? Because every time I listen to music it plays every sound there is on my card: music, ringtones, text tones, etc. And its incredibly annoying.

Folder(s)
Perhaps organize the sounds, music, etc into separate folders on your SD card.
Music player should find the mp3's. This method works for me.
You can add a .nomedia file or search Play for a .nomedia manager.
I made a folder called music on sd card, its all that plays

The best thing to do is to connect to a computer and start organizing folders and then add .nomedia to the folders.
I'm looking for an Android app that can play a listen.pls or NSV file just buy opening the file from a file manager within the phone. Anyone know any app that can do that?
I haven't tried these because i dont have any files in the format you asked about but seaman video player, abdroid, double twist and streamcast, all claim to play those file formats.

I tried Seaman Video Player and doubleTwist and they don't. I don't know what abdroid and streamcast are or where to find them. Did you make a typo?
I googled it and that's what came up...????
Edit:
Abdroid was a typo on results
and the other was shoutcast but I don't think its what you are looking for. Sorry

I've tested the Winamp app, but it didn't work. I also used IO File Manger or Astro File Manager to open it. I even tried Stream Media player and pasted the url for the stream, but it didn't work. I also tried the VLC Stream and Convert app, but that didn't work either.

the problem is twofold. a .pls file is JUST a playlist that tries to play...some other type of file. A .pls can be a playlist of nearly any filetype, so if a .pls doesn't que a given playlist it's likely because the file formats aren't supported.
an .nsv file is a Nullsoft Streaming Video format extension. I don't know a thing on Android that can play an .nsv

I too am on CM7 and put all my iTunes music on my X2. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to make your phone and iTunes sync directly with each other. What I do is I make a folder on my desktop and name it "Music", then I highlight all my songs in iTunes and drag and drop them into that folder on my desktop. I then plug in my phone and just copy that entire "Music" folder onto my phone's sd card using the simple drag and drop method. After that usually whatever music app you have can find the folder easily.

I have had issues transferring music to my phone as well. I've used windows media player, drag and drop and dropbox. Still won't play the music. It says it doesn't support this type of media. It seems it will only play mp3 files and not wma. Also I lose all of my album info and the songs show up as filenames and don't display the artist.

Yea very few media apps will play .wma files.
Give PowerAmp a shot, I think that will work. I know there is a paid version, not sure of there's a free version though.
