Just got my tab and am loving it, but having big problems getting mp3s onto the Tab. My music library is stored through MediaMonkey, and I've never had any problems using MM to sync my music and playlists to various devices.
When I try to sync to the SGT, I get weird results. Sometimes not all the files and playlists are copied over; sometimes MM just hangs forever on "Synchronizing" after copying all of the files; sometimes the files make it to the Tab, but the Music player won't recognize the artists or albums. I don't know what the problem is. Does anyone have any experience with this problem and/or a solution?
I've cleared all the caches and data for all of the media-related apps, restarted, still no solid results.
Thanks everyone for the help!
I use winamp which syncs wirelessly but does hang now and then but that could be my hardware. Havent tried connectimng it via usb.
I used Kies to sync some of my playlists to my GT, worked great over wifi. But I also uploaded most of music collection to Google Music and Amazon Cloud Player, so I really have access to it anywhere I have internet on my cell phone. Just sync'd my top rated playlist from iTunes to GT to save space.
I open up the music app on the phone (Music or Nokia Music) and it shows over 15,000 songs (long story of stupidity). None of the songs are on the phone though. If I try to play something, it'll hang for several minutes, play something for about 15s and then hang for several minutes again. I think it has something in cache that it tries to play.
How do I get the song list to force update? I can manually delete them from the phone but I I only live once and won't have that much time. The Windows Phone 8 app 'can see' the songs but then errors when trying to delete saying it can't find it. It doesn't have a select all anyway. WMP doesn't see any songs on it. Rebooting the phone doesn't force it to scan either.
Any ideas?

I personally would put all of your music in one easy to mange music folder, get rid of duplicate entries, and make sure you delete all the songs you have on your device through windows explorer. Then, copy and paste the music folder to your device. You will be able to select all or pick and choose copying music this way. It would be the same way you copy music to a thumb drive if that clarifys it for you.
There is no music

There is no music on the device at all. Due to the Itunes / WMP folder structuring hanging the transfers (I just use windows explorer normally). There was no folder structure. Only one folder with 32,000 songs. I then copied about 5600 to the device. THAT turned out to be too much as the device didn't like only having 500k of space left. So I deleted the folder, and tried something smaller.
This went on for a few times only to find out that the songs were not getting removed from the library when the files were removed from the device.
Personally i think wp has a problem with files and music.
i struggled a lot getting the device showing everything that was in the windows8 app.
had duplicate entries of self copied tracks, had problems with album arts,. albums sometimes have just a few songs.
deleting device in xbox.com and unsync didnt help much.
somehow the music i copied on the phone on some day just didnt show up in fthe explorer anymore. so does the hidden album folder.
at the end i tried a hard reset and bricked the phone... didnt do anything appart form playing around with the music folder and app.

I miss the Zune days as well, I hate that I can no longer use it to sync all my content. I really hope they change this in the future, because the Windows Phone App is terrible and doesn't work half the time.
That being said, all the songs you see on your phone aren't actually on your phone. It is pulling them from your Zune account and what is now called your Xbox Music Cloud Connection.
Open up an artist and take a look at the track list - you'll notice a small icon indicating it isn't local. (Attachment 1)
It is streaming it from their servers, this is why it takes long to load, then buffers.
If you wish to disable the device from automatically showing all of these songs, in the Music + Videos app, go into settings (Attachment 2) and disable Xbox Music Cloud Collection. (Attachment 3)
That was it, mostly

That was it. I didn't notice the hidden folders. After removing the contents from them, there were only about 100 songs left in the list which I could then manage via the application to delete.
Fresh music list, starting over.
Thank you
be carefull with this things. bricked my phone with it.. deleted the album folder to get the list new..
also got problems with the cable staying connected and refreshing the data in the folders.
just got everything showing in win8 and phone now.. despite the album covers
Also if you have Windows 8 ... music is uploaded to the cloud and can be streamed to the phone... it isn't perfect, but I have several albums that have just showed up... I think part of that has to do with where it was purchased.
does it update any mp3 you add into the music app?

Yeah it updates everything but the 'collection' tile inside of nokia music. That still had thousands.
I reloaded all the music and it seemed to have got lost again. It seems to work fine until you pass around 2000 songs and then duplicates start showing up everywhere.
Oh well, lesson learned.
didnt know that.. i have thousands of mp3 on a media server in the basement .. but cant bind it into music folder anyways because the network drive does not support indexing
I have tried the HTC Sync Manager and it does not sync music and playlist on my phone. I am on a Mac BTW....
It says it is going to but stops at 1% and goes no further. Hows does everyone else manager music and playlist on their phones?

See my Thread Below: "[Q] Can't Get HTC Sync Mgr To Start on Mac". Still can't get it to work and suspect some of the other stuff on my Mac is interfering with it. On the initial install it appeared to start and then quit but I uninstalled and now nothing happens. So I have gone to the methods mentioned in the thread. So far I really like the One but hate the hassle each time I try a new Android phone and have to deal with trying to get it to sync with my Mac. The Samsung S3 was even worse.
Itunes music on One

I use the Play Music app on my phone and the music manager from google on my pc. It will save all your itunes music to a cloud of up to 10,000 songs. Then you can stream all your music without wasting the space on your phone. Also gives you the option to save the song to your device.
just search google music manager online
enjoy
Hello,
Not sure if this is a proper question for here. I used Google Music Manager to sync my iTunes music from my computer to my GS4. IT seemed to be working great (16,000+ songs) but recently I realized I'm missing some songs. I have several playlists and they are not fully synced. For example I have a playlist with 16 songs and only 10 songs are in the playlist on my GS4. To make things even more odd, if I log into Google play Music on the website, that same playlist shows only 9 songs?!?!
Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? I love the aspect of this app but not sure why it won't fully work. I have gone thru all settings and hit refresh on all devices with no luck.

Hello. I have been enjoying the stock player a lot, especially UPnP feature and DAC support. It also has cloud services support which interests me a lot. So I successfully added my Google Drive acc with 10gb of music on it and tried to play some audio files from it. But the program says that "the server is not connected and try again later". When I tap "service" section and choose Drive it shows that there is no music... I tried dropbox and it works without any problem. But I am used to Google and have more storage there. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem pls? Same with stock gallery, it shows only a few photos when my Google drive is full of images... P.S ye and one minor question. When I play music from Nearby devices via UPnP it constantly stops and says that my router is disconnected even though it isn't? It happens quite a lot and makes me annoyed.
