Hi, I would like to know if there is any way I can manage and edit playlists and songs info on my galaxy s2. I have tried using Samsung Kies but it dosen't have the ability to edit song info and playlists that are created with the stock music player in my phone. Recently after connecting my phone to the computer, songs added in my playlist have been disappearing and songs info are removed(like the ablum art,artist info etc etc), I used apps downloaded from the market to edit the info of the songs . So I would like to be able to save my playlist and song info on my computer somehow. My phone is also rooted but I don't think it is the cause of this bug.

You could actually. I'm using PowerAMP Player. You could also try it.
Thanks for the suggestion. However, do you think it would be possible to create a m3u playlist on my phone and import it into the stock music player.

That I do not know because when I create a playlist, I stick to whatever music player I am using.

Try creating playlists in Windows Media Player & then use it to sync with your phone. Works for Cowon Android media players, might work with the SGS2. This assumes you're using the stock music app, obviously; most other music apps allow you to create playlists (Neutron doesn't, but you can create Poweramp playlists & point Neutron to those to get them working).
Edit - This method works with Cowon D2/D3, might be worth a try if you're going to keep using the stock music app (would be easier to buy another app from Google Play tho).
"Player Pro" is another music app you can create playlists. It's a grate music player as well. once you create a playlist most music players can use it (according to my knowledge)

So today I noticed something very odd about my music. It seems that on both the stock music player and on PowerAMP when an album has more than 1 disc, it doesnt recognize that there's more than one disc. I've got all my music tagged correctly in iTunes...but when I import it to my phone, I get track listings that go 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3, etc etc etc(an example of an album that has 3 discs). Anyone know why this is? Or how to fix it without having to go and redo ALL of my music in iTunes so it doesnt do albums with multiple discs as such.

I hadn't noticed that, but mine does it too. What a fail.
Yeah, a pretty big fail in my opinion.
I haven't noticed this but I always tag my multi-disc albums by adding "Disc 1", "Disc 2", etc after the album name.
Not sure if this would make a difference but try Winamp and some other music players. Maybe another music player will resolve the issue without requiring manual renaming of the album tags.

I've tried the stock android music player, PowerAMP, and Winamp... all with no luck.

Is it me or does the SGS2 not show the artist tag in .m4a files? whats going on?
I installed PowerAmp, it's the only music app I could find that shows all of the tags and artwork for my iTunes music files (m4a's).
Mine still has missing tags? every other phone I've had has been fine? what have samsung done? and why??
the tag is still there when I load it back to iTunes, but something on the phone is stopping the tag being seen, very strange?
havent been using .m4a files yet but will try some out tonight when i get home from work. tried any other media player such as winamp? maybe a tag problem with PowerAMP?
I've used Doubletwist, Winamp, PowerAMP, and a tag editor to see what wrong, all do the same thing, can't figure it out, and the SGS2 guide it says plays .m4a's but its the only android phone I've seen this on?
You could always sync with Winamp and tell it to transcode .m4a into another format during sync, it's in the device properties when your phone is plugged in!
I could, but important now using spotify and synchronized my playlists, crazy but works.
I still don't understand why the sgs2 won't see the tags on m4a files? My nexus s and desire s do? Strange Samsung idea maybe?

I don't know, but I'm hoping it's easily fixed... I've just sold my iPod Touch so I can use the SGSII as my music player when I get it! Ripped some of my favourite CDs to .flac as well for the best music quality
Well if you find out, let me know, its bugging me, and seams to make a great phone, a bit second rate!

Just got my SGSII yesterday... my m4a tags are fine! Not sure what's happening with yours D:
EDIT: I was totally wrong, the artist didn't show up. Luckily I had like one album in m4a format, so I changed it to mp3 and everything's fine now! Just missing a few album arts here and there, but I think that's more a Winamp problem than a problem with the SGSII
Mine are the same .m4a artist tag shows as unknown. Play fine etc just doesn't show the artist
I've noticed that the Kies software from Samsung doesn't recognise any of the music tags for m4a files either even though it downloads codecs?
how have you guys transferred the music onto the s2?
I'm using Winamp to drag and drop, then play using Winamp on the phone and the same happens to me. 10GB of my 20GB collection is in m4a too.
Try using sync with Winamp and tell it that m4a isn't supported, and to transcode m4a into mp3 maybe? Might do the trick!
I found this after having copied files to the new phone, then searching under the artist and not finding the album I had copied. I searched for a keyword in the song name and sure enough - same symptoms. m4a files purchased form iTunes, plays the file fine, but not sorted properly.
Guess I'll give another music player app a shot.

All the other players I tried use the system media DB as the source, which is where the data problem lies.
I tried Winamp, poweramp, doubletwist and all have the same problem.
Looks like maybe we need a firmware update to fix this?
M4A tracks don't have an artist
I have the same issue here.
Any applications that use the system media library (which include DoubleTwist, Winamp, PowerAMP) don't display the artists.
I downloaded a tag editor app onto the phone, but when I go to edit the tags, they are all correct, it does seem to be an issue with the system, and not any apps.
Has anyone tried installing the default music player from vanilla Gingerbread?
Or is the media library part of the OS more than just that app?
Would imagine that the stock Android music player will have the same problem. It's pretty apparent that Samsung have customised the media scanner and broken it for no apparent reason, since it worked just fine before!
I'm not completely clear on how components such as the media scanner/media store database are packaged up but would hazard a guess that it might be possible to replace the Samsung version with the vanilla version...
In PowerAMP > Folders view, if I long press a m4a file then select Info I can clearly see that the artist info is there.
However, in Library view (which I wan't using at all until last week) the Artist section is definitely missing the m4a files.
The problem somehow seems to be all files that use AAC-codec (m4a, mp4, etc.). My .mp4-files wich worked perfectly on my old SGS are now broken (tags, that is).
It must be a system problem, cause other programs experience this also. And The music player seems to be pretty much the same as in SGS.
REALLY hope they fix this soon. I've been ripping my CD:s tp MP4:s for years. Not going to convert them all to mp3:s.
Hi,
I have total recall working on phone and it stores call conversations on phone, the problem is the music player also adds them in available songs
is there any way to restrict music player to look under specific folders only for songs?
or, if there is anyway I Total Recall can store files that cannot be seen by Music app (media scanner)?
To select a certain music folder yourll need a non-stock music player from the market like PowerAmp or something like that.Stock players dont give you much choice.My ROM has a call recorder but it goes where it goes so not much to say there sorry.
Ubermusic supports folder playing;-)

Hey all,
Im trying to find a way to organize my songs somehow.
I would like to separate my music into to categories or folders, one for rock and one for country and then be able to pick either country or rock from my stock Htc music player.
I can/have hooked my phone up to my comp, created 2 folders and organized my songs accordingly. The problem is when I start up my music player the player does not recognize the folders and just gives me a complete list of songs on my phone.
Sometimes I just want to listen to rock and other times, chill out to some country. If I had the ability to pick a gene/folder within my music player, then I could just shuffle all songs within that folder only.
I have not been able to figure out how to make the phone/music player recognize folders
Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
Thank you,

I do believe you can set up playlists and just pick that from the music player, otherwise find a music player that does support them.

I have tons of songs for each gen. It would not be worth it to hand pick the songs, way to time consuming. Its quicker to just skip songs, that is what I'm doing now, Hoping for a much better solution.
Thanks for the input

Sounds like that might work, Im going to give it a try

Although not folder sorted, separation by Genre is sort of built into the MP3 standard, you just have to add the appropriate Genre tag to the files. There are multiple programs for Windows/Mac/Linux that can edit MP3 tags on single or multiple files at once. Then you just need a music player that can sort and play by Genre, like Winamp, PowerAmp, Fusion, N7, or most full-featured players.
You can also use an app like this to make playlists based off of what songs are in what folder.

Thanks Zourn, I will check that out.

Thanks everyone
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.
Ideas?

Any solution to this issue? Any Android music players that will keep the data files organized as well as itunes does it?
