where do most people store their music on the rezound? I am trying to see the best and efficient way to store music. Do you use the sim card or sd card.

There's no SIM storage on the Rezound. You might be thinking that the internal SD(phone storage) is SIM storage, but i digress.. For the most part you're better off using the internal SD. More apps recognize music there. However since I started using Google Music, I don't store music on my phone anymore. Everything is streamed from my Google Music account/Pandora/Tune-in.

Same. Google Music is a good alternative + it allows me play on my work computer.

I use my SD card that I reorganize about once a month by rounding up songs I pick up here and there and getting them into one folder. It's so much easier to backup, move to another phone, and locate.

Probably never. I use DSP Manager, and I know a lot of people use Volume+ to get the same if not better effects. I like it because the beats DSP isn't customizable and being that it's stuck in the stock player, I never use it anyway. I did notice one weird/cool thing. If you play a song with beats in the stock player and immediately switch to google music or any other audio, of about 15 seconds the beats DSP is still active meaning that beats should be able to run full time, rather than only in stock music.
Beats Audio
Hopefully they will eventually work with some of the major apps like Pandora or Rhapsody. The built-in music player with the iBeats headphones, sound pretty damn incredible.
I've tried seeing if there is any sort of a quality difference between running music from external SD, or internal. I've noticed none in the stock music app, but my card is a sandisk class 4, for what it's worth. Like a previous poster said, some apps need music on internal to function, though. But those are becoming far and few between nowadays. There's always the supposed argument that putting a bunch of stuff on internal storage will slow down your phone though, too.

Are talking only about music apps for playing the music such as PowerAmp? Or is there something else I should know about apps needing to access my music? I have mine on the external and no problems that I know of. Been using both the HTC music app and PowerAmp.

Hope this helped
playerpro is probably the best music player i have ran into.
If you want to waste $5.08 on a music play then go ahead and buy PlayerPro. But if you want the same thing, that works just as well if not better, then get WinAmp.
Dont be a sucker and pay $5 for a stupid music player.

No flac support, no eq, no folders, no tag editing....
DoubleTwist is great and has airsync(wifi). The lock screen takes over the whole screen and shows a large cover with good sized rev/play/fwd buttons at the bottom
Does PowerAmp play flac on the Atrix? I haven't been able to play any flac.
Winamp is terrible, for reasons already stated. I've never used Songbird so i cannot say anything about it. DoubleTwist was my primary a long time ago, but for some reason it could not read music files on the external sd so it had to go. It may have been because I had purchased it right when the phone came out so external sd support might not have been working yet. I do not know if they have updated it to work with it or not yet so you may want to ask someone around here if you plan on purchasing it.

Yes, PowerAmp does play FLACs on the Atrix. You can check it out for 14 days. I'm getting close to the end of my trial, and I have yet to find a decent alternative that supports FLAC. May end up shelling out some dough.
On topic, PowerAmp also has a lock screen widget.
I love how people are sooooo damn demanding when it comes to what music play to get. ITS A MUSIC PLAYER!!! not a new phone!

That might be closer to what you're looking for. I use it, 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.

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.

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.

Has anybody else had issues when playing audio files on their phone either through headphones or through the speaker? When I stream the audio it sounds just fine but when I put the physical audio file on my phone is pops and clicks.
My Phone:
At&t SGS3
No Root/Stock IOS
Here is what I have tried so far:
-Placed audio file on internal SD card.
-Placed audio file on external SD card.
-Tried multiple music players.
-Tried different headphones and used the speaker.
-Verified that the audio file does not have pops and clicks when playing on other devices or streaming to my phone via "Play Music"
Thoughts suggestions? Bad phone? Default my phone and start over ;( ?

Are you on power saver mode? also try to close all the running applications and see if it fixes. If not, try downloading any other music player(Apollo or poweramp)
I have the same annoying issue. No matter the music player or volume setting I still get the popping noise. I don't have any other issues with the phone so I hope it's a software bug. Since the phone is rooted i would rather not have to take it back and get it exchanged.

I have the same issue however mine is limited to PowerAmp music app. In my case, I learned that certain albums have this issue and that when I listen to them in the stock music player and Ubermusic (another music app in the Play Store) I had no popping sound. For my issue, I have a theory that the only music that pops is the music I copy over from my iTunes library. I have music stored in two locations c:/Music and c:/Music/iTunes/iTunes media/iTunes Music, only the albums copied over from iTunes directory have resulted in popping. With my last phone, Droid Incredible, I did not have any popping issues so I know the problem is on Samsung's end. I even emailed the dev for Poweramp and they believe the issue lies with Samsung since other users notice this issue in multiple music apps.
I've been trying to listen to music in my spare time from work to see if there is any pattern to the issue.
Well I've had the issue even in the tune in radio app. Went to sprint and they ordered an exchange for Tuesday. Had to unroot of course.

Did you think it is the way that iTunes converts the music? All of my music is stored in iTunes, I will have to rip an album not in iTunes and see if that fixes it. From the responses, it might sound more like a software bug than a hardware issue.

Let us know if the new phone fixes the issue...
FYI: I only ever hear popping and clicking when my USB cable is plugged into my noisy computer, and not my A/C charger, or when unplugged. I hope you're not returning the phone for this reason...
This happened to me using power amp pro. Is it an annoying buzz every now and then? If so that's what I had. I emailed the developer and he gave me some instructions on how to tweak the advanced settings and it fixed it for me. I'm not sure if it will be the same for the other players however it is worth a shot! Also It happened to most my songs but there would be the odd one that wasn't affected. I don't use itunes at all for my music so I can confirm that is not the cause.
Settings => Audio => Advanced Tweaks => Audio Thread Priority. Change it to +2 or the highest.
(if it still does it on +2 switch it to the highest)
Hope it works for you guys too!
My phone doesn't pop or crack but you can hear the static/hiss/white noise when something is being played. If the music/video is paused the sound goes away. But when the audio starts to play, you can hear the hiss on low volume but will go away on high (probably cause the actual audio is overwhelming the hiss).
Is this a hardware issue as well? It's a bit annoying when you have for example a piano playing, acoustic guitar, or some soft background/vocal going on cause the hiss can be very well heard in those situation but disappears when a lot of elements of music are mixed.
I looked around and saw some topics on this but didn't find a solution. It seems as though the music that I put on my internal storage isn't able to play on google play music. Any ideas on why this is? The simple fix is to take the songs out of the internal storage, which I haven't tried yet, but I am currently using those songs for either a notification sound or ringtone. I don't understand why it would still have a trouble requesting the song, even though the song is still on my Itunes. Thanks guys
Weird. Some do and some don't on mine. Never noticed cuz I use Poweramp as my player. My solution would be pay a couple bucks for Poweramp and move on with life, although I know I won't be able to let it go. Other solution would be to upload songs to Google Play Music.

The HTC One doesn't support some music formats. Here is the HTC Sync Manager FAQ: http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/?section=FAQ
A solution would be to convert the files into one of the music format the One does support
Im trying to get music figured out on my Z2. Really its been the only thing bothering me. Since switching from the iPhone two years ago Ive been using Google Play music. I hate how it doesnt store music on the device though. I get it though, switch devices and its always there on the Google app. But if you dont have a data connection or dont want to use a ton of data its not good. I started doing the PIN to device but I still dont see any music locally. Ive bought songs and I want them on my device.
What is everyone using on the Z2? Walkman? Google? Or what? So far the Google music doesnt seem to wanna play nice but maybe that was just while it was trying to download my songs.
Well I think I might be a corner case here, but I use Google Play Music and sync my library with iTunes using iSyncr. It's paid, but for the most part it gets the job done and transfers album art plus the other metadata and updates my playcounts.
Call me a luddite or afraid of change, but most of my songs are in 320kbps and I enjoy the quality through good headphones. There's a few apps on the Play Store that can sync your current collection on iTunes to the device. I bought iSyncr a long time ago, not sure if there are better options available but it works for me.
Well, I used that Google guide for switching to Android back when I got my Nexus but it didnt seem to move all my music for some reason. I still have my iTunes collection so maybe I need to revisit syncing it again.
I used PowerAmp with my last phone but once you get used to the walkman app it's great. You can get better sound quality from its settings too.

I used to use ITunes, then with my Android devices I've always just manually stored all my music on my external microsd. Usually I use Poweramp but this being my first Sony device I'm starting to like the Walkman app!
I have a mac laptop and imac with 112Gb music collection on an external HDD and of course iTunes. I just make up playlists of 1) random songs, or 2) dedicated playlists or 3) collections of artists in a playlist (depending on what I'm wanting to listen to) and transfer them using Sony Bridge for Mac to the Walkman app. It's amazing the albums I've re discovered doing it that way e.g. Deadwing by Porcupine Tree, I hadn't listened to that album in years so I found my cd and imported it as apple lossless to walkman it sounds amazing through good headphones.
I find that set up works for me, as while it is importing I just go and make a cup of coffee. Besides, I quite enjoy making up playlists.
I use Google Play Music. Why not since they allow cloud storage of 20,000 songs and sync all your music purchased from Google Play?

I use Google Play Music. Why not since they allow cloud storage of 20,000 songs and sync all your music purchased from Google Play?

None whatsoever. Bought music from Google Play and listened to some albums for about an hour.
I am on stock ROM with root.

Do you pin the music or just stream it all? I think I had issues the first day with the Z2 because of work wifi blocking and or causing issues downloading the music.

Stream only. I was on Wi-Fi but I don't think it would've posed a problem even if I were on data from my carrier.
