[Q] Best Windows music manager/player to sync with android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What would be the best Windows program/Android app to sync my music from the computer to my phone/tablet? I've have WinAmp and Doubletwist airsync, but I'm still not sure what to use. Can anyone offer a solution for me?
Thanks in advance!

I just use a simple batch file that copies new mp3s to my SD card. It doesn't check for deleted music, but I rarely delete music once I've added it to my collection.
::Copies new MP3s to your music player.
@echo off
:drivecheck
::Where F is the destination drive.
if not exist "F:\" goto faildrive
::Where D:\Music is the local dir containing MP3s. Not needed if batch file is run within local dir.
cd /d "D:\Music"
::Where F:\Music the the destination drive and directory.
xcopy "*.mp3" "F:\Music" /d /y
pause
exit
:faildrive
echo.
echo Please check USB connection or drive letter.
goto drivecheck

How to Synchonize a full directory

How can I synchronize a full directory with ActiveSync ?
I have found how to sync files, but I cannot sync a whole directory.
In the Sync file option, there is an option to sync
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\Mes documents\Pocket_PC My Documents\" but I want to sync on my storage card rather than on de device memory.
Any suggestions welcome.

.m3u files cannot be opened!

I made an .m3u file and tried to open it using original music player on 2.2 (CM6). I get "sorry the player does not support this type of audio file" . Here is copy of my .m3u file:
Code:
music/file1.mp3
music/file2.mp3
I simply use this command to automatically create playlist file on my device:
Code:
find music/ -iname "*.mp3" -print >> playlist.m3u
Has anybody try to open .m3u file on Hero before? what type of playlist file format is supported?
I simply dont want to use any other application to create playlist files. I used to use same way to create and play .m3u on my old WM5 device.

[Q] Copy file from sdcard to Samba network directory

Hi, We have installed ES File Explorer on our Android tablet and we have cataloged a remote server (10.10.19.45). I am able to see the files on this server from the tablet.
On a different desktop project, I have used a java.nio class file to copy files from a local folder on the desktop to the same remote server and it has been working fine. I tried to use the same java class to copy a file from the Android /sdcard/Download directory to the remote server and it will not create the file on the remote server. I tried specifying
File DestinationFile = new File("//10.10.19.45/sandbox/result.txt"); AND
File DestinationFile = new File("smb://10.10.19.45/sandbox/result.txt");
but neither one works. I keep getting the error "IOException: No such File or Directory". The first option worked for my regular desktop Java application. Is there anyway I can copy files from my sdcard/download directory to the samba directory I have catalogued on my Android? Thanks.

Importing Contacts form older Nokia Phone

This quick tutorial is based on google services and it's perfect for someone who has a few devices with different systems (f.ex Android)
1. make a complete copy of Your old nokia into .nbu file using Nokia PC Suite
2. use an Open Source NBU Explorer to open .nbu file and export your contacts to a folder (left click contacts, right click export)
3. form the command prompt (start run -> cmd) navigate to Your exported contacts folder and merge all files into one by executing command copy *.vcf all.vcf
4. open all.cvf file in the text editor and replace all TEL;CEL;WORK: strings with TEL;CEL: (since google will not regonize a nokia tags)
5. from Your computer login into Gmail, navigate to contacts and import all.vcf file
6. setup Your google account in Lumia

adb path issue on win7 64bit

I don't consider myself really a noob, but this time I just cannot stand myself. I've been working on it for at least a few hours and used google extensively but I cannot find what I'm doing wrong. The screenshot illustrates it. What I've tried:
Installed android SDK in "program files (x86)" and in "c:" root
Tried various paths, with and without quotation marks
Tried paths with and without trailing backslashes
Tried paths with forward slashes
I'm probably missing something totally obvious but I just cannot seem to find the problem. I'm on windows 7 home premium 64bit.
Edit: XDA trashes the screenshot, so a link to the file my dropbox and a code dump added.
Code:
C:\Users\xxxx>path

Take the 3 adb files from the android sdk platform tools folder and drop them in your windows directory. Then you will have adb from anywhere.
I consider that more to be a work around than an actual solution, there goes my 'clean' windows installation, again moving files around to get everything working. Bummer. I'll work with that solution for now though.
just copy the adb.exe to your username folder and type adb in cmd it will work....
I found the issue, after the Quicktime declaration there was a quotation mark floating around. Five hours of my life gone...
