There are several Applications on the Desktop which can make use of "Dynamic Playlists". These List's are mostly generated by dynamic Content like "Last Played Time not older than x days" or "Playcount smaller 5" and so on. I have found such Lists in Desktop Applications like Windows Media Player, Winamp, iTunes MusicBee and more. Now i wonder if there is a Android App which syncs such Lists, so that, when i play a Song on Android, for Instance the "Playcount" is changed and this change should be synced back to the Desktop Application, so that the Dynamic Playlist could changes also automatically.
Does such a App exists on Android?

Hello all,
I like to organise my music in folders. Many times the audio files in my folders can each have different artist and album names and the usual way that media players group tracks by album/artist/genre doesn't work for me because of this. My ideal media player on the HD2 needs to be able to add the contents of folders (and recursively search down them) in alphabetical order to the "Now Playing" list. Regular playlist are not very useful to me as I like to mix up the music I listen to and it also means that I have to create and maintain a playlist for every music folder I have.
Nitrogen is the only media player on Windows Mobile that I know of that can do this and it's finger friendly. However, it doesn't have AVRCP support. Windows Media Player Mobile comes a close second, with full AVRCP support and the ability to add folders to the "Now Playing" list. However, it is not very finger friendly (but it's manageable) and doesn't do a recursive search. I bought Kinoma a while ago but ended up getting a refund because it doesn't know how to add items alphabetically. S2P claims that it has "folder based playback", but I've never managed to find out how to add folders to a "Now Playing" list.
Does my ideal music player exist?
- Finger friendly.
- Ability to add folders (and subfolders) to a "Now Playing" list.
- Full AVRCP support.

check Conduits Pocket Player
Just been trying Conduits Pocket Player - very good! Ticks pretty much all my boxes. I'd say the UI of Nitrogen is nicer and its faster too, but Pocket Player has all the features I want and runs quite nicely. Thanks for the suggestion!

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.
I've purchased a couple Android "TV Boxes" and was shocked to learn that none of the supplied software will play media from SMB/Samba/Windows shared network locations.
My boxes are running Android 4.0x, A9 single core at 1Ghz, Mali400 GPU's, 512MB + 8GB or 1GB + 4GB of memory.
Purchased them from DX.COM... sku 145311 and 157734 (I can't post URLs here)
Just a few of the apps I've downloaded and tested:
- XBMC: Used on my PC's, but too heavy for the Android boxes I have.
- BSPlayer
- Buzz Player
- MX Player
- Mobo Video Player
- Dice Player
- Movie Browser HD
- mVideo Player
Most of these don't support Windows shares very well, or are not user friendly.
Are there any decent media player applications that will do the following?
- Play media located on Windows or Samba shares
- Provide a simple interface so my kids won't get confused
- Play video, audio and pictures
- Possibly link to Netflix and/or YouTube accounts
- It would be great if it were a "launcher" app
Basically, I want a launcher type interface that operates like this:
- I add icons to the main screen.
- The icon can be associated with one or more local folders and/or windows network shares.
- The icon can have rules set to show or hide files and folders that..
- have a specific filename extension (.avi, .mp3, .jpg, etc...).
- that are hidden.
- files of a specific type.
- When the icon is clicked, show the contents of the associated that...
- Match the rules set up for the icon.
- Show thumbnails for files or folders, if available. (use folder.jpg for folder icons, for music or video, locate a .jpg/.png/etc. with the same filename as the movie or music file.
- Allow browsing folders with the same rules as the parent icon.
Alternately, does Android provide any way to set up a Windows share to look like a locally mounted device? This would make some of the players I've found more workable.
I know I'm being pretty specific, but I know what my wife and kids want when it comes to watching movies and playing music.
Any suggestions or ideas are welcome!
I do program... and if I were an Android developer I would try and whip up something. If anyone has pointers for developting an app with wifi, smb shares, ui and playing media on Android, please let me know!
Archos Video Player
Try Archos Video Player.. It has a good graphical interface..
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.
Recently doubletwist's desktop app has been horrible. It exports all my playlists from Doubletwist into Itunes and never closes the initial export playlist dialogue. I am looking for a great music player with a great desktop client. Hopefully one that can sync easily with Itunes. I tried Easy Phone Tunes but it does not sync a lot of my iTunes correctly.
Also one preferably where if I delete a song on the android end, it would sync and delete it permenantly on the desktop end
