[Q] which media player/sync software do you use?

what is the best media player and sync for epic..
i have used poweramp and doubletwist..both with high reviews.. but i m not interested in paid version (poweramp) and double twist does the job for now ..
but syncing is a hassle...i tried air sync and thats completely broken since somehow it reduced the bitrate to 64kbps for all 320kbps songs i had... i tried media monkey to sync but its not consistent... didnt try media player. .. winamp also works but making it see the phone is a headache..sometimes it sees.. sometimes it doesnt...
what do you use?? or do u just copy folders directly??? all the album art etc is messed up right now on my phone and even the id3 tags are messed up using media monkey( it has the right ones)...
just want to get your thoughts.

what do u sync it with?

Throw songs on your sd. Android will group them through media scanner. If you like the wifi thing.. try es file explorer. You'd have to setup a network share on your media pc though. Btw I really like mortplayer. Probably the most customizeable player out there.
cd's or tapes?

isyncr is really good. Works very well.

I use windows media player to sync and winamp as my player.

You have to tell it where to put it.

MediaMonkey does it well for me.

I use doubletwist with air sync. I dont transfer songs too often, but when I do doubletwist has been pretty good with the wireless sync. I like the player too since its simple and has a nice, clean widget. It also now has lockscreen controls which are good or annoying if you dont wanna pause the song lol

Drag and Drop with Windows Explorer to sync....
TouchWiz media player (DK28).... I'd prefer that it didn't stop my song at 10% battery life but other than that it just works.
There ya go... simple and effective

[Q] Music player app that creates playlist from USB

Hi
I am looking for an app that will play music (using playlist) from a USB attached via OTG cable and that also works in the background so you can do other things on the Nexus? I have allready tried winamp and Rocket player.
Any suggestions welcomed
Thanks
John

im using poweramp which you can select your music folders

Thanks for that, exactly the kind of app was looking for. Used the trial and then bought the unlocker

PS3 does not support MTP, so either copy the music to a PC and use a USB stick or live with it

Try the Media Server app. (or any UPnP / DLNA app you want)
It will enable you to go to Music>MediaServer and browse the music you have on your phone.
Then when you find the song/folder you want to transfer, press Triangle (Options) on the PS3 control and select Copy.
You want to copy more than one song, choose "Copy Multiple" (its at the top of the option bar the pops out from the side of screen)
Make sure you do this under the proper media type.. meaning if you are going to copy music, make sure you are under "Music" on the PS3.
(You can also do this with any file you want from your computer, by using the PS Media Server. Google for it, because I'm not sure I'm allow to link to it here on XDA. Its free and will stream content to your PS3 from your computer.)

[Q] Has anyone tried Samsung Link?

Has anyone tried Samsung Link. Is it any good? I am particularly interested in the phone/pc transfers. When you back up your photos/video to your PC, are they compressed? How is the speed and are there any limitations on what Samsung Link can do? I am very interested to see if I can stream FLAC audio files.

Has anyone tried this feature?

well i find samsung link very annoying. try serviio (http://www.serviio.org/) and serviigo

I'm using on my S2. It was previously called Allshare Play. It's pretty easy to transfer your photos and videos over wifi. I use it all the time. I'm too lazy to connect with a cable, hahaha.

It seems that it only supports media files. Is that correct? Samsung Link supports any type of file and also has a feature to automatically upload pictures and videos to your computer. Can serviio do that? And it seems that I will have to pay extra money to use this service. Samsung link also has the ability to choose where to save the files, can serviio do this? Can serviio allow me to upload files from my phone to my computer over 3g/4g? It seems that serviigo can only play media using their media player. Is this correct?
Can anyone actually try Samsung link and tell me how it works and how well it works?
Thanks

I use Samsung link. It is very good and useful. I can access my registered devices (my laptop, desktopPL and even my old SGS3) over 3G. I play movies or songs stored on my laptop over the 3g using Samsung link....

Sending music on the S4

Is it not possible to send music from the stock music player app anymore? I can't S-beam songs to other devices like I would with the s3. When pressing the menu button on the s3 or long pressing on a song a share button would appear which would let me send music, now I get "share music" which launches group play and just let's you play it on another device... only sharing method is via Bluetooth but I want the functionality back to send music via sbeam with the stock music app as it was a feature I used a lot as all my friends and family have s3's..please let me know if I am wrong. I know I can go through a file manager and send a song like that but I'd prefer to do it from the music app as everything is organized

Bump

Anyone please?

I'm looking for answers for this also. Is there a mod zip to unlock this like the hotspot mod?
