Music Player Bug

I've tried two ROMs and both took at least three minutes to load the music tab.I have filed about half of my 16gb memory card with music and when i click the music tab the screen becomes unresponsivefor a few minutes and then any screen presses are carried out after the album artwork has loaded. does anyone else face this lag with the music tab? and how can I fix it? this is extremely annoying as it freezes the phone!

have u used the sync or disc mode to load the music?

I used the disk mode. is this the problem? I have been unable to sync my device using active sync because when I connect it,I get a message saying that outlook isn't the default email client or something and then the device charges but is nowhere to be seen on my computer.thanks for the quick reply btw

yep ! Same here ... a real pain. But I've found no solution yet ...

I've ca. 4GB music on my card and all is fast and responsive. Stock 1.48 GER.
It could have several reasons be that you have faulty mp3 or and faulty card.
On the other side its always better to sync music via Windows Media Player rather than doing it via copy/paste.
I would go for a format. and then try to make active sync working because sooner or later you will need it. If you can't do it right now I would try to copy the stuff folder by folder by folder. Before doing this i would check wheter all the files are valid. There are several threads here describing how to check this. Mp3Val is a good adress to begin with. Just download and run it over all mp3 files: http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/
In addition I would also have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5220474#post5220474 and check for those hints...
Cheers,

thanks

thank you! I connected my hd2 to a different laptop where outlook allowed me to use the active sync connection and I resynced using windows media player. the music tab works a treat now!

Wifi Music/Video syncing?

Has anyone found a reliable, free (or cheap) solution for syncing content to their desire?
Ideally I would like to share the SD card via wifi but I know that might not be possible.
Next best option would be an app that runs on the PC (win 7 64 bit) and an android app to sync the content.
Nearest I have found is Missing Sync but they want $40 (£28) for it which is ludicrous!
I have tried searching but not found anything.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Although it doesn't do this over wifi, doubleTwist syncs all that.

For down/uploading files to sd card from/to your pc there is one called web sharing, great app.

you could use an ftp server like swiftp on your phone and a client on your pc like filezilla. they're both free btw...
you would have to get yourself an app that rescans the sd card and adds the new files to the music library, but if i'm not mistaken there's a free one for that too

I'm using NextApp WebSharing Media/File Sync to do this. Try the free version first, the full version is $2.99 and honestly is excellent.
Gives the person full access to your SD card through any PC/laptop using WiFi. I transfer movies and files this way daily. All protected.

iTunes Agent is a small program which enables you to synch your iTunes library or single playlists to any storage device. I don't know about videos and images, but it works great with music. Assuming you are using iTunes of course.
/edit: this is only one way though..

Does this work over wifi?

I've been trying to get a program call aFileSync to work.
it syncs through ftp via wifi with many sync options.. (looks good)
but I'm having trouble getting it to connect to my ftp (im not that ftp savy, I'm using filezilla server )

HTC Sync v3.0xxx will do this...currently seems to work and released only for Wildfire. It actually syncs with your iTunes library (one-way only though and sadly on Wifi neither - PC to Desire, don't know about Mac version)...

tunesync is my option of choice, over wifi, syncs selected playlists from itunes automatically when you are on the same network as the pc.
there is a demo on the market too.

I've just given this a go.. it works pretty good.
but it has also reminded me why I hate iTunes, its a pig of thing..
It would be nice if they could make it work with out itunes, it doesn't need to be any over the top, just a simple folder tree of all your artists and albums and check box next to each folder.
I've just found androsync which is similar but it can work from a simple m3u playlist file. I'm going to give it a go now.
and I also have to uninstall iTunes and plethora of other virus like apps it installs with it..

I just want to sync my music

Simple stuff. I am looking for a program that can sync my music everytime I plug in my S4...
All it literally has to do is sync music. It doesn't have to play it or even edit the music tags or information, it simply needs to sync to my S4 external SD card. I just point the program to the folder I want to sync to and it adds everything that isn't on the SD card. just like an iPhone
Any recommendations?

I use isyncr and itunes (blasphemy I know).
But it works well for me, I have it wireless sync on a schedule both ways (playcounts, ratings, playlists). Or you can have it sync over usb (gets annoying everytime I plug my phone into the computer though tbh).
You can use whatever android media player you want - needs to be itunes on the pc though.

[Q] What's the best way to sync music/mp3 collection to the S5?

I have an extensive mp3 collection and I'd like to sync to my phone when I plug in USB. On my RAZR, I could use Musicbee, which synched the songs by USB complete with album art, directly to the Music folder on my external SD. But the S5 connects to my PC as a phone, rather than individual drives. I can sync the music to the external SD, but it filters to a series of nested folders relating to my PC username.

Two ways, depending on your current setup. I have my collection stored in Dropbox and I just use dropsync which is essentially a selective sync to mirror my Dropbox music folder on my SD card.
The other way, and admittedly something of a pain in the ass, would be just to physically mount your microSD using an adapter, in your laptop, and then use a desktop sync program.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have ~30GB music, and don't really feel like paying for more Dropbox storage
I've been transferring to the SD directly, but it's a pain and would rather just have it sync automatically.
Any other suggestions out there?

Trying to get Doubletwist to work

Hi All
New to Android and looking for the best way to sync my music to the honor 8. Downloaded doubletwist and it won't recognise my phone. Keeps saying to mount it and on the phone via notifications, I select files but has no option to mount the device.
Android file transfer works but want a sync function for better functionality. Alternatively tried just connecting my SD card however doubletwist won't sync FLAC / ALAC files, can it onyl sync MP3?
Thanks

How about using a free cloud service like Drive, Mega or Dropbox?
Just use a PC folder with the songs, have the cloud client installed and syncing that folder. At the phone side, point the music library folder as the synced folder and you don't have to worry about what type of files you are using.
