Music Sync (Playlists, Albums, etc.) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks,
I am currently using Google Music to select the music I want available offline on my device (Nexus 4, only 16GB). I have some playlists that I can update whenever I come up with a new song and as the playlist is marked to be available offline, this new song is synced to my phone. Works quite well for the phone.
But at home when I want to stream music to my audio system via DLNA this doesn't help. I can't use these playlists.
My music is stored on a NAS at home and there are playlists on it too.
Is there an app or something that lets me select playlists from a network device and then copies the content of this playlist, along with the playlist to the phone?
This way I could ditch Google Play Music and avoid maintaining my playlists in two places.

Play music from URLs

I have a playlist in Windows Media Player in my computer.
This playlist has songs which point to urls for songs. So instead of downloading the song i just add its url to this playlist.
This way i can listen all songs without spending my hard disk space.
I know there are cloud music players available but I do not want to download the songs and again upload those songs to the cloud.
Is there any music player available where i can play this playlist on android?
Also i should be able to add/remove song url to this list from phone.

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.

[Q] Google Play Music Duplicates (Locally Stored & Cloud Stored)...

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for preventing duplicates showing in Google Play Music.
I have my primary music collection uploaded to Google Play Music (cloud stored), and I also have a handful of song stored locally on my device. The songs on my device are used as alarm tones, etc.
I have found that having songs stored locally & on the Google Music cloud, will cause duplicates. Just wondering if anyone knows a way to get Google Play Music to consolidate each track entry within Google Play Music, so the cloud & local tracks only show as a single listing.
Using the .NoMedia file in my devices music directory is not an option, as this prevents my alarm app from detecting the local songs.
Thanks for any help.

Playlist question using system installed Music player.

Hi.
Have a XiaomI Poco F1 Android V9.
I have over 1000 MP3 songs.
Would like to create multiple Playlists using the System Installed “Music player App”.
Can create multiple playlists on Google Play Music(using a 3rd party app), Prefer to use Music player app (better sound quality).
Steps I perform:
- Connect phone via USB File Transfer with PC.
- Drag/Drop PC folder having 30 MP3 tracks onto internal Storage/Music folder.
- Open Music player app. Create first Playlist for 30 MP3.
To create a 2nd Playlist, (Drag/Drop), appends new MP3's to the original 30 MP3 tracks.
I have to individually Tick MP3 tracks to create a 2nd Playlist.
Tried:
After Drag/Drop MP3 folder to internal storage/music folder, right click folder to “create new playlist” Don't see Playlist in music player app.
Tried creating “.M3U” and .PLA” extension from MP3 folder. Sill no Playlist in music app player.
Tried 3rd party app “Playlist Creator 2”. Does create playlist on Google Play Music app but not on “Music player App”.
Using my One+One phone, when creating a Playlist in Google Play music, it Auto created a Playlist in its Music App. PocoPhone does not appear to do this feature.
Is there a way to create multiple playlists with “Music player app” w/o ticking them one-by-one?
TC.
Problem resolved! Found a workaround.

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
