I have waited a TWO WAY SYNC option (FOR FLAC/APE MUSIC) for very very long time on ANDROID
Doubletwist, i-sync etc are not useful here because they are stick to Itune.
I have used many time to search but it is nothing there.
My situation is
====================
I am using FOOBAR2000 as my major player. My entire Library is FLAC and APE music with tag and organized well
I am using a Galaxy S now
What I want is:
TWO WAY SYNC from FOOBAR to ANDROID. (rating and playcount changes from the Phone can be synced back to FOOBAR)
Just LOSSLESS, don't transcode it.
=====================================
I have some ideas to search for but it is nothing
1/ Let Itune watch changes in FOOBAR (playlist, tag etc, but it is impossible) and sync to Android phone using isync or douletwist. That OK for two way sync but you need transcode all FLAC file to APPLE LOSSLESS
2/ Use Winamp, but this soft cannot have 2 way sync
====================================
Ahhhhhhhh, I just need a way to sync my lossless library to my Samsung. What the hell ANdroid only let you copy and paste music like very simple think. Music is a kind of thing that sticks to our feeling. so Smart playlist, rating, playcount should be REQUIRED for Synchronization
I have heard somewhere that we can use LAST.FM stuffs to do this function but it is very blur to get the clear method
Anyone here have a suggestion to me????

Im using the honeycomb music app because it looks a hell of a lot nicer than the samsung one.
But despite using all the apps on the market i cant get album art on some of my songs and alot of the songs dont display an artist just grouped under 'unknown'.
Anyone know of a way to resolve this?
Wrong forum. Ask questions in the "questions" forum.
1. are you sure all of your mp3s (I assume it;s what you're playing) are properly tagged?
2. are you sure the tagging is consistent (ID3, ID3v2 etc)?

Did you sync using Kies?
If you just plainly copy them over, song info and album art etc. won't be displayed on your device for some odd reason.
Using Kies to transfer does the trick. I learnt this from personal experience.

Moving to Q&A
The Google music app works great for me. I use the Google Music Beta cloud streaming. It lets you download playlists and albums so I can have what I want to listen too off line and the rest of my thousands of songs stream and don't take up space on my tab. PM me your email if you want an invite.
I'm of the old-school variety, and carry my music on my sdcard. When I first updated to the Google Music Beta app, it was all sorts of messed up, tag-wise. Looking through my tags, I realized how badly they were in disarray, with Google Music often considering two tracks to be on different albums if the only thing that differed was, say, the album art.
I realized how inconsistent my tags were, and decided to fix that issue. Over about two weeks I tidied up the tags in my MP3s, made cover art consistent, and so on. By the end of the process Google Music was reading everything correctly.
This last update, however, messed everything up again. Once again, about half of my albums are without cover art in the app, and about a third are split into multiple albums, with one or two tracks in one and the rest in the other. And, frankly, I can't figure out the issue. Every program I use to read the tags reports back the same thing; identical tags, except for track number and title. Album art is embedded into the files, and looking over it, the files I used were the exact same one, just replicated across all tracks in an album. I even checked to see if the issue was different versions of the MP3 tagging standard used in the same album, and it's not.
I tried clearing the data for Google Music, changing the name of the directory all my music is housed in, and even put a copy on my desktop PC. If I load the library into Clementine or Winamp, it reads the tags correctly with no duplicated albums or missing cover art.
I'm kinda running out of ideas here. Is there some special trick to getting Google Music happy with the way songs are tagged?
Im running it old school on my sd card. Theres really no need to stream tunes when everyone has a data cap

Sorry about that, it's been a while since I've posted...completely glossed over the Q&A section. Thanks.

I'm...not sure what I'm supposed to take from that. I'm running from the sdcard as well.
Hi all.
can anyone advise on the best way to edit and/or delete the playlist and genre information that the stock Samsung Music app on the Galaxy S wifi 4.0?
As far as I can tell, this app stores such information (I'm guessing in a database somewhere) but there doesn't appear to be a way to purge said records if mistakes arise.
whilst I'm not using the app, it does seem as if somewhere along the line, the attempt to sync music, etc with the Samsung triggered the app and led to several minor problems with playlists and genres. Now in several other music apps, I appear to have duplicates of playlists as well as genres that only appeared in the Samsung app.
I don't mind if the solution is on the phone or on a desktop, however I'm not running a rooted device and I have no plans to root the device.
Advice gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.

I've started using Google Play Music as my media player. But when I buy something and "keep it on device" I can't find where its downloaded too. I've searched all through my phone. Sometimes I use the HTC music player nut I can't access anything I've bought from the Play store until I download it to my computer and copy it to my phones music folder. It's pretty frustrating. Does anyone else have this problem? Or know another work around? Thanks in advance

GPM does keep the tracks on your device, but not is a format that can be accessed by other music players. It caches music in /data/data/com.google.android.music/file/music as mp3's with numeric filenames like 10.mp3, 11.mp3, etc. and the indexing of track Title/Album/Artist to the cached mp3's is stored in /data/data/com.google.android.music/databases/music.db
That's just plain stupid..... I paid for the music and should be able to move it to where I want on my own device. I love Google but they do some stupid things. Such as that and not letting you merge 2 separate Google accounts. Thanks a bunch though

Yeah it's stupid. You're better off buying from Amazon.

Kinda stupid, I agree. However, if you're storing music on your phone, you might as well plug in your phone, and just copy the music over to the folders you want, which will preserve file titles/tags.
I actually like Play Music .... but this closed music management is terrible. You can not choose where your music is stored and you can't open your music with another app. As it has been said above, there is the possibility to read out the music.db. So I've written me an app, that copies my MP3 files from Play Music to the sdcard and extended them with the ID3 meta data such as title, artists, albums and coverart. Now I can play the music with every app and theoretically even share.
Of course the whole thing is only one solution for rooted phones. But it makes play music a little more comfortable.
I even found a way to save music from AllAccess, but I'm not going to publish this App Version in the foreseeable future because of legal problems.
I would also like to create help thread here in XDA, but unfortunately I must have 10 posts written , before I can create am own thread in the developer forum.
Here is a Link to to the Play Store: Unfortunately I can not post links yet. Search 'Play Music Exporter' on Google Play.

My music library is very well-organized; I use a tool called beets to synchronize all my tags with the MusicBrainz database. As a result, on desktop, all my albums are sorted by album artist sort. However, I have been unable to find a single Android music app that pays any attention to the "sort" tags at all.
Apps I've tried:
Lineage/AOSP Music
Poweramp
Blackplayer
Foobar2000
Musicolet
AIMP
DoubleTwist
Oto Music
Half of these apps just sort the albums alphabetically by title (gross!). The rest sort by album artist (non-sort), so that half my library ends up sorted under T, for "The".
This is important to me because all my albums end up in a totally different order with album artist vs album artist sort. For example, "Miles Davis" goes under M, but "Davis, Miles" goes under D. So now when I open my phone, I can't find anything. Is there even a single app that gets this right?
Music folder>Artist folder>album folder with track number/name.
Poweramp works perfectly after it's configured.
Poweramp is managing a music library of 231gb; 778 folders and over 6500 songs for me on 2 twin N10+'s.
Tags are a waste of time because they generally aren't transferable. Playlists however are easily backed up and recreated with Poweramp as long as the whole music database is also backed up.
Thanks for your reply.

My library is already in this exact format already, in fact. Just switching from "Album" to "Folder" view in Poweramp doesn't change anything, but I can see how I could rename all my artist folders to the sort album artist instead. While I'm at it, I guess I should prepend the release date to each album folder—this would get me the exact sorting I'm looking for. With a library manager, this kind of overhaul is still a pain, but at least it's doable. Thanks for the tip.

I would have to disagree…I have a dual-boot system where Quod Libet, Cantata, and Lollypop on Linux, plus MusicBee on Windows, happily read the same files and all their tags. Android is the odd man out—probably because the Android MediaStore doesn't include the album artist
In any case, I think I answered my own question: GoneMAD. It can handle the sort artist tags just like a normal media player, and there's an artist>year sort option for the albums tab. All I could ever ask…somehow it managed to duck every single listicle I've read and it gets no attention on the Play Store. Go figure. I've been looking for this exact app for years.

Good to see you're organized. That's important with a music database.
I use Poweramp because it's rock solid and it's settings, all of them, can be 100% backed up and recreated at will. Advanced troubleshooting and throughput options. It's graphic equalizer is the best I've used and supports multiple presets that can be tagged to song or folder. The equalizer is a big deal and mandatory for me. I spent a big chunk of time dialing in the Buds+ with it.
It's only downside is it doesn't support video for MP4's and such.
