Music, Song folders organization? - HTC Rezound

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
Thanks

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.

Music player that reads folders. .

Hello guys,
I have been looking for a music player that can go thru folders and able to add a particular song to a playlist that doesn't require opening the file.
Or as an alternative, an app like astro but with a music option to add an mp3 to a playlist.
Ny suggestions guys? Thanks a lot guys.
Nim
PowerAmp reads folders (or your library) and can add songs to a playlist by long pressing on the song.
If you want an app that builds playlists on the phone try Playlist Builder.
Mortplayer i think is what your looking fkr
1887 ~ 1.152 / Streakdroid 1.5.3
Thank you guys for the replies.
PowerAmp sounds really good. I will try that as soon as I get a 2.2 update..
BrockFerens:
Thanks for the app recommendation but I can't add playlist with a long press. I will be keeping it though because atleast I can play a song inside a full folder. I am currently organizing all my MP3s and make main folders by genre and inside will be sub-folders of artists, and inside those sub-folders will be the songs. I am also editing the MP3 tags.
Thank you guys a lot.. These 2 players makes me a happy man. =)
If you use Windows I recommend Mp3Tag and if you want to create some playlists with your PC try Playlist Creator.
Thanks for the recommendation but mp3tag has no way to import tags but it can export tags in excel file though. I found a windows based program that is pretty powerful and can import and export, just can't think of the name right now.
Thanks again guys. I have been using mortmusic player for the last 5 days and I love this app even without making a playlist. The way I am organizing my mp3s I probably wouldn't need playlist anyway..
Have you tried Mixzing? I got it recently looking for something that would play by folder, since all my music is meticulously organized by folder even though many don't have artist or album tags of any kind. Most music players split up all my organizing to try to re-organize by album or artist, which doesn't work for me.
Mixzing works great for me, so far. And it goes out and downloads album and artist info if I want it to.
I downloaded MortPlayer to try, too, but I just haven't gotten around to playing with it much.
My mp3 music is organized the same as yours and I want to play music by folders and sub-folders. Mp3 tags just doesnt work for me. I played with mixzing before with my HTC evo but never really satisfied with it hence why I was still looking. Atleast for now, mortplayer is keeping me happy.

Streaming music player for Dropbox?

Is there a good player that will stream all my music in a Music folder I created? I can play them but it only lets me pick one song at a time. I would like to just pick them all and put it on shuffle. -thanks

this is what i am discovering. it's bad enough listening to studio music, but it totally kills the flow of live shows. anyone got a good answer?
beyond that, google music and streaming media player both stop if i steer away from them. ES Media Player is the only one that will allow me to do other things on the phone at the same time. the issue with it, however, is that it doesn't stop if i get a call. i answer and the music keeps playing.
ideas?
There is a player I use called CloudAround. It's in the market and it's great!
you can also try MusicDropNPlay
Bringing this up again to see if there are any new recommendations. I'm downloading CloudAround now and will report back.
How do you like CloudAround?

Let us know what you think of CloudAround. We are running in the fast lane with it and have some large features coming this month. We are adding selective sync (no more syncing your 100GB of data for just 5GB of music), folder views (for songs you don't have tagged or weren't recognized), and m4a support (pending Jan launch).
We're always open to suggestions as well.
Have a great day

music playlist

question about music player wanted to know that is it possible to make playlist in computer add song on that play list like in windows media player or itunes and just place that playlist on s2 . now i have put song in phone then make playlist in music player its annoying is there any to make or place the playlists i have on my system to my galaxy s2. like iphone
Yep, you can make playlists with WMP (or other apps like MediaMonkey) on PC & transfer to the phone, provided the app you're using for music on the phone supports the format of the playlist. Most should support WMP playlists I would have thought.
I know this works with Neutron (or it did the last time I used it in October before it had native playlist capabilities, which the dev has introduced since); don't know about other apps like stock music player, never used them (because stock player is rubbish anyway). Try it & see if you're using another app; make a small playlist in Windoze (say 4-5 songs so you don't waste ages making one only to have it not work on the phone) & test it out with the music app you're using. If WMP playlists don't work, try MediaMonkey or another PC based music app.

Help re music player apps

Looking for a little help on music player apps. Specifically, a tablet running 4.3 (should be updated to 4.4 in a month or two according to the manufacturer), all music will be on SD card.
Currently, all my music is album oriented and sorted by Genres, then Artists, then Albums. This works on my iPod in my car (both iTunes and car software work flawlessly) and on my MP3 player (both MS My Music and player software work flawlessly). I start with Genres, find my Genre and click, brings up Artists within this Genre in alphabetical order, click on my Artist and brings up the Albums, click on Album and the songs, in album order, come up. Click on the first song and the album plays all the way through.
I haven't found an Android music app which will do this. Many sort by Genre, then go into directly into Songs, in alphabetical order. Many sort by Artists, but with over 20gb of music and hundreds of Artists, this takes forever to get to ZZ Top.
Anyone know of a music app which can go from Genre to Artist to Album? If this approach works with iTunes/iPods and MS Music, I found it hard to think I haven't found an Android app which can do this. Tried about 20 players in Play Store and haven't found one that does this. All help is appreciated. Thanks.
P.S. No playtlists; no single songs; simply albums by artist catagorized into genres.
Have you try some of them?

(I recommend you to try Apollo and see if it right music player for you)
All of these only allow single level searches. I'm looking for something that allows a three level search; first, genre; second, artist; third, album.
It seems ironic I can do this with iTunes and MS Media Player but not with Android. I must be missing something here.

Mixzing
In case anyone is looking for the same thing, Mixzing works. You can set it for Genres; click on your genre, it shows the Artists. Click on your artist, and it shows the artist's Albums. Click on the album you want, and it shows the Songs, in album order.
Exactly what I was looking for.

Best music manager for Android?

I'm hoping to get some advice/suggestions as to the best iTunes-esque desktop based music manager to use to organise and sync playlists on my phone. I do have a subscription for Youtube Music so I do use that to listen to music most of the time but I also like to have my music collection and playlists remotely on my phone too.
Previously, I have used MusicBee to do this and I have all of my songs, album art and playlists organised on there but it can be a bit frustrating when it comes to syncing as sometimes instead of just transferring the new songs, it'll just start syncing the whole library as if nothing is on the phone.
Any suggestions for a good desktop-based music manager or alternatively, any other solutions to best manage the files onto my phone?

I may have misunderstood your question, but YouTube Music has an Android app you can use to remotely have all of your songs, playlists, etc... And on your pc if you have chrome, you can download the YouTube Music chrome app.
And if you want an alternative to YT Music go for Spotify, they have a PC and Android software.
Again, I think I totally missed your point so please clarify (or tell me I didn't missed the point lol)
Have a good one
