[Q] music player that syncs PC and phone. Supports flac - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have lots of unorganized .flac files on my laptop and so far just play it with vlc or whatever. What player should I install on my windows laptop and android phone to best organize my music and sync between the two and scan for covers etc? Read that google music was nice but it converts my .flac to .mp3 when transferred to my phone ? Also read the installed Samsung Kies is rubbish?
Thanks.

[Q] Music Player for .wpl-Playlists and with remember position

Hello together,
I use Windows Media Player and automatic generated Playlists and sync them with Windwos Media Player to my Android (SGS2). I could not find any music player that plays (shows) the wpl playlists, only the stock music player. But the Stock music player doesnt remember the last playlist / track / position in the track where I stopped and I love this feature.
I want to use this in my car. Connect to car-radio by bluetooth, autostart Musikc player (with Locale) and now I need a player with the requirements I explained above (and automaticly start playing music on app start if possible).
Anyone got an idea?
I am sorry, I just saw the wpl-files are converted into .pla files on the phone. So I need a player that detects and plays pla

[Q] Transfering MP3 Problems

Hi,
I find this unusual problem when transferring mp3 files to my phone. I use the Kies software on my PC to sync with my music folder. When it finish sync with the phone, it shows a complete transfer without problems, but when I open the music player my mp3s don't show up. After playing with the phone for a while, I found the mp3s to be in a folder called media. I have to transfer those mp3s to the music folder under Samsung in order for the mp3 to show up in the music player.
Why doesn't the transferred mp3 files go straight to that music folder under Samsung and instead I have to manually transfer it from the media folder on the phone? Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you
Bump to the top!

Well my suggestion is use Mediamonkey for transferring or managing music. In Mediamonkey you can configure the path where the files have to be uploaded, the order of uploading (artist>album>title) , file formats supported by the device and much more ! I have uploaded my music(FLACs) with Mediamonkey on SGS2 and all the music shows up correctly(along with track order) in the stock music player. Try it

Thank you for your help, I will give Mediamonkey a try.
It's so just weird using Samsung software on a Samsung phone doesn't work correctly.

[Q] Importing External Files into Media Library

One of the biggest selling points of the Archos G9 for me, was the ability to play all kinds of filetypes through the video and music players. I was somewhat disappointed though, when I found out that I had to manually browse through my external storage to play the files I wanted to play. My external hdd is set to autobackup my laptop so that means finding files is folder hell. I was wondering if there is any way to get my files to show up so that I could scroll through them just as if they had been on the internal storage. This would make things so much more convenient. Any suggestions?

Well I kinda want the default player because of its priceless mkv support. I've noticed in the file browser you can highlight an internal media folder (dcim, Music, Video) and select options in Media Share. These are the only folders that you can set share types, which I assume includes the folder into the media library. Maybe there is some way that we could give other folders special permissions to allow them to be shared like these.
I have exactly the same problem. Had in mind to use the G9 as multimedia devices streaming music and video from my NAS to my TV. I had expected that the G9 had native support for Network drives, but it doesn't. At least I could not find it. The best alternative I found is BubbleUPnP. This app detects my Synology NAS and I can start any video from it. For Video you can select which player to use. Music is played with the build in player, which I don't like. I prefer PowerAmp. An app that brings a kind of XBMC to a tablet is what I need.

[Q] What do you use to sync your music?

I have tried Media Monkey, Winamp and Double Twist. Media Monkey and Winamp seem to have problems with syncing the playlists and I just dont like Doubletwist that much. Any suggestions on how to sync the Galaxy Player?
Does the Samsung Kies sync program that came with the Galaxy Player sync playlists? I have not figured out a way to do this. If that works, the Kies is the way to sync your files. I do use it to sync my videos but music works but not the playlists as far as I can tell.
FORGOT: Another option is to use Google Music! Sync via the cloud.
Google music is good, but the lack of lockscreen controls kills it for me. I've been using double twist though.

I didn't like that either until I got the Widget Locker app. I added the Google Music Widget to the lockscreen. Not perfect, but does work as an option.
I can share my audio setup, a bit complicated actually.
For frequently listen music, I simply copy the flac files from my Qnap NAS to my Galaxy Player. The entire collection is over 100G in lossless flacs, so it is basically impossible to sync to the player without transcoding (which I don't want to do).
For less frequently listen music, I can do that via streaming on my Galaxy Player. The software needed are
1. Squeeze Center (server software) installed on the Qnap NAS
2. SqueezePlayer App on my Galaxy Player acting as the "virtual player"
3. SqueezeCommander App on my Galaxy Player acting as the "remote control" controlling the server and send the audio stream to the player app.
If you have a solid wifi connection to your home, you can stream your entire collection to your player at CD quality. There are other streaming apps but my home audio setup is already tied to Squeezebox, so I end up with this rather odd setup.
I use Banshee in Ubuntu.
I have a lot of playlists made on iTunes so I like Double Twist. In addition to the music organization that similar players do it seamlessly imports songs and playlists from iTunes.
iSyncr
I have used a lot of the different mentioned apps to sync my itunes lib with my player, and iSyncr is by far the easiest and best. It allows to add music to either internal or SD card memory.

Definitely, Isyncr is the easiest way for me to sync music for me since i use itunes. It's really easy, if you've had an ipod before and synced music from itunes you'll notice that Isyncr syncs all the artists, albums and other tags perfectly.
To Synch with the stock music appliation or any other application:
Try FolderSyncLite (free)
https://market.android.com/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite&hl=en
Share the your music folder on the network
(right click -> properties -> sharing)
Add a new user with login / password
Install application
Add account -> your login / password for your windows share
Share method = Samba/CIFS
Setup the remote folder and your local music folder choose one way synch (PC - > Player)
Choose how often to synch
DONE!
Windows Explorer. Nothing is easier than drag & drop!
I often use Google Music
It just convenient for me
+1 for iSyncr
I drag and drop using Nautilus in Ubuntu.

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.
