I transferred some Zune playlists onto my Lumia920. However, I've realized that changing the playlists on zune is a pain because I would need to use multiple programs to change the music and then transfer the files (open zune and then the desktop WP8 progam). I've settled for possibly using Windows Media Player, however my long run/workout playlist is extensive. Windows media player can't read the zune playlists. Just dandy. :/ So, I was wondering if there was a quick way to convert *.zpl playlists to *.wpl? Or am I going to have to resort to re-making the playlist from scratch in windows media player and save a new one?
Also, I've noticed (or rather, am having a hard time finding it) that you can't transfer playlists using the WP8 Windows 8 app. Is it there or am I just not observant?
Last question, what do you guys mostly use to transfer files/playlists onto your phone?
Thanks in advance everyone!
Try this:
Both playlists are text files. Open one of each with Notepad, note any structural differences, format the .zpl file a la .wpl, and Save as... .wpl.
To transfer files, plug the phone into your pc. Then drag'n'drop, transfer via WMP, the desktop app, or any other media player that can see your phone.
So I came from an iPhone 4S and iTunes. iTunes is horrible at music management so I spent 10 hours yesterday organizing and autotagging my music into folders. My structure is Artist > Album for everything.
I am using Media Monkey to manage my playlist now. Im having trouble getting things syncing to the S4. Has anyone else used Media Monkey to do this? The goal is to sync the playlist and MM will automatically sync the music associated with the playlist.
I think most of my issue is stemming from the fact that when I plug the S4 into my laptop (which has Kies drivers installed) I cant get it to show up as a drive. So far I have tried using Installer Mode, MTP, and PTP modes and a drive will not mount. It shows up under Portable Drives and SCH-I545. I can double click the SCH-I545 and see the 16Gb SD card labelled as Card. Currently this SD card is formatted in exFat per the Root Instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380325
Does anyone use MM? If so how do you have it configured to sync playlists to the Galaxy?
I'm trying to view photos stored on my PC with my newly acquired 16GB Tablet Z.
I already have a PS3 Media Server installed for using music & photo files on the TV via the PS3.
The tablet has connected to the PC with WiFi ok & the PS3 Media Server is showing in the My Albums option in the 'Album'
app. When I explore the folders - there are up to 5 levels for photos - the tablet only shows up to 16 sub folders and within those only a max of 16 photos.
I thought maybe it's a memory issue but it can take up to 30 seconds to load the 16 photos (say 70MB) so it is clearly accessing the pc storage.
How can I get to view all the folders & their contents on the Tablet??
I spent 20 minutes with the Sony support team & they had no solution.... hmmm, not impressed.
I hope you guys can do better!
Thanks,
Phil.
Hmmm - OK, surely I'm not the only one trying to view photo files held on my PC with the tablet, am I??
I thought I'd try a different route.
I'm now trying to set up Windows Media Player as the server, all looks ok but the only photo file it can pick up has a sort of 'mountain' icon rather than a photo. Really weird as everything appears to be set up ok.
Any ideas out there??
thanks,
Phil.
Now all sorted!!
The answer is... install 'Serviio' software on the PC which is a decent server app in contrast to Windows Media Player and install 'BubbleUpnP' software on the tablet.
From their website....
BubbleUPnP is a full featured UPnP/DLNA Control Point, UPnP Media Renderer and UPnP Media Server. Play easily your music, videos and images on your phone and devices on your network (DLNA TVs, XBMC, WMP, ...), from your external UPnP Media Servers. Play your phone/tablet media to those devices.
Browse and play your local phone/tablet and cloud media from other devices (PS3, ...).
It is brilliant. Now everything works a treat.
By the by... Sony Customer Service were no help whatsoever!
Hi, I recently purchased one of these Android 4.1 Car stereo units http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528349 (I've looked all over that thread and haven't been able to find a solution to my problem.)
I want to be able to use Doubletwist player as my main music player, and I want it to be able to read the files on my external usb hard drive (plugged into the back of the unit).
The unit recognizes the USB hard drive, as I can access all the files through certain other music players and through any file explorer. The problem is that Doubletwist won't recognize anything other than the internal storage and the SD card.
I emailed Doubletwist and they replied with this:
DoubleTwist Player uses two sources to recognize files (& the associated metadata) and playlists on the device.
1. Sync database created/updated by the computer application during a sync.
2. Android Media Scanner (AMS) database which is updated by the Android Media Database service.
So if the storage location isn't seen by the AMS service, doubleTwist Player will not import information about these files into it's database.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is there any way to edit what directories the Android Media Service looks at? Then I could simply swap the sd card and usb drive directories (I don't use the SD card slot at all). Or does anyone have another solution to get this to work?
Alternatively, I just want decent music player similar to Doubletwist. I like Doubletwist's intuitive UI, the fact that it uses playlists and the fact that I can "play next" or "add to play queue".
I have tried Poweramp and I don't really like the interface, and Rocketplayer would have been fine but it is really buggy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
P.S. Forgot to mention, the usb directory is /mnt/usb/mnt1
Any ideas?

hey guys,
ive searched the web and cant find any answers to this so here goes:
i Listen to audio dramas and mostly get them as podcasts with itunes, i dropped them onto my sd card so i could listen to them on my phone, they are all in folder format separated by chapters.
on the sd card they are labeled folders 1-47 however, for some reason every media player ive tried, even folder player which is meant to simply play items in folder format rearranges my folder structures so instead of 1-47, it only shows the first folder "chapter 1" then its 11 on wards with the missing folders scattered in between and in media players they are seen as one album and randomly structured throughout.
how do i get it organized? ive tried podcast players, lots of paid/free media players none of them do it. it has to be android as in itunes and windows for that matter they are all in order.
does anyone know why it does this? i remember android doing the same thing years ago and i just used to fix each item individually but really that isnt an option now since there are 100s of mp3s
i dont see what the difference is from music albums to these, i even set them in a album centric folder structure to see if that would work but no dice. its really annoying
any insight on this would be great,
thanks
Name 1-9 as 01,02 etc should keep them in the right order then

Thanks for your reply. Already in 00 format, doesn't do a thing unfortunately. I've found a work around by simply using a podcast app and downloading direct to the device.
