I wanted to ask the community if they could recommend an app for al my .mp3 tracks. Something that would organize my tracks, or allow me to do so, and possibly display cover art.
Free apps that are great are:
Zimly*
WinAmp
DoubleTwist
Paid apps that are awesome are:
PowerAmp*
PlayerPro
* = my choice of that group
What ROM are you on? HTC music is nice, it's what I use. I know that there are better music apps, but HTC works well. I used IDTag to make sure all the tag information and it shows up fine.
Poweramp

Try HTC music or Google music? Those are already on your phone (well, google music might not be).
Otherwise...

Thanks for the replies. I am currently using HTC music, but I would drag and drop a folder of music on the flash card. The folder is from the same music group, but the artists are different. In turn I have a mess of tracks, when I would originally like to have it show the folder, and the option to play the entire contents of the folder.

not sure if I understood right but if you want drag and drop UI like how you would put music on a ipod with itunes then definitely try out DoubleTwist. It was a Windows client that emulates itunes.

I have once used an Apple product; Ipod...and then gave it back the next week. I'll give it a shot if it makes my .mp3 experience easier.

How do you do it besides the tedious process of using the phone's menus? I usually take the .m3u files that I generate with Winamp and dump them with the music folders to my phone. Unfortunately, the Sense music player has always been spotty on detecting new music and playlists in my experience. Is there a way to make the phone rescan for music and playlists?
So no one else uses playlists generated externally?
I moatly use Google Music, and it just pulls them from iTunes.

You can try clearing data of the music app or even try out PowerAmp. It's an awesome music player. I cannot comment on the .m3u files though.
I have a music folder on my sd card which is filed like this: Music-> Artist-> Album->Songs. Seems to keep things organized.

I've been thinking about giving Google Music a try, but I don't like to use any more battery than I have to.

Agreed, PowerAmp is very good, but I'm to stingy to part with five bucks for it until I know whether or not the ICS update will also address the Sense music player's shortcomings. I'm also super-organized about filing music and tagging it, but I rarely make "mixes" and my playlists are basically just discographies, minus the tracks that I don't care for (hence the desire for importing playlists).
Hi, just recently switch from IOS to android and loving it. The note is so wonderful. One question, how can I transfer all my music, playlist, play count from iTunes to my note. I have about 7 gigs of music on iTunes and have no clue how to transfer the file over. Please help!

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.

I use iSyncr. I let it automatically sync to iTunes every night at 12. It also syncs playlists too.

You can go onto Samsung Kies, Then connect your device Scroll down and then there's an option for back ups find your itunes iPhone back up and Convert it
Sorry That I can't go indepth my Phone is rooted / new rom So I can't connect. x)
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.

Very nice to know. I assumed it did just that, but never tried. Thanks

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!

I use tunesync because I buy my music from Amazon, but still use itunes to manage my old jokes and ipad.
I also have a central sound system connected to my netbook, so the iOS remote app comes in handy.
Tunesync lets you automatically upload songs purchased from your phone to iTunes, and maintains play counts in itunes as well.

i'm coming from and ipod touch (and don't ever wanna go back lol) and i was wanting to know is there anyway i can sync my music with itunes as thats where i keep my music library? i use poweramp as my default music player because imo it has the best sound quality period. i have a 32 gb card where i keep all my music and movies and i use the internal for games and apps and such

I also come from the iTouch then sold it for the Galaxy Player 5.0 I love it! Best switch.
wow i recently had an ipod touch and i sold ( so glad i did) it . You can either just get a new sd card , or put the one you use directly into the gplayer!
Have fun and welcome the forums!
I use double twist on my pc to read and sync my itunes library to my 5.0. I have been using the double twist player on my 5.0, just havent found a player i like better yet. but i did find that my playlists didnt sync to the double twist player on the 5.0 but the stock music player had them.... so i had to make new playlists on my pc in the double twist program, i just created new playlists with the same names right next to my imported itunes lists, then copied and pasted the music into them, and then the playlist showed up in the double twist app on the 5.0.... I have now uninstalled itunes and removed all traces of apple from my pc.... I couldnt be happier..lol
I don't use it I tunes, but Airsync by double twist is meant to be good.

You could always just go into the itunes folder and drag into the music folder. Simple but works.

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.
Coming from iphone/itunes and want to know what is a good music managing app that I can use?
I really like the feature in itunes where it keeps your media organized in folders. I also like how you can delete the song in itunes, sync your phone and the song will be gone.
I really need these features in the music app I select.
Ideas?
Check out doubletwist.

Got everything setup on doubletwist and its working pretty well. It will completely remove songs that I dont want and this will also update on the device.
One thing I noticed it doesnt do is change the file when I change its song information. For example, Itunes builds folders based on artist/album and names the song. If you change any of the above info in itunes, it actually renames and moves the file into another folder under its artist.
This is one great feature in itunes and am wanting an android solution.
