pretty much lost on this one.. want to add my own songs
Wait, wut?
You want to add music from your computer to your phone so you can listen to it? Just copy the songs from your computer's hard drive to your sd card. Or if you're lazy like I am, and use itunes you should get tunesync off the android market.

What he said ^^ or get Music Box app and download free music. The music app retrieves all mp3s from phone and organizes them for you.

I just thought this was kinda handy. I have most of my favorite music taking up about 10GB on my SD card. I rarely use my phone as a portable music player but I get great use out of it for playing music on my work computer. This suggestion isnt for everyone, but if you work, listen to music through headphones, can install itunes, and a constant USB connection. For once I finally feel like I am in control of my music library instead of it controlling me.
I installed iTunes on my work computer
Setup the iTunes directory to my music folder on my SD card (in my case it was P:/music)
Add all your music to iTunes from the SD card (drag and drop)
Consolidate your library if you have iTunes set to keep your folder organized
Now whenever my phone is plugged into my USB at work I can listen to all my music (as a bonus, now it all sorted/named properly.....FINALLY!!!)
I have a folder called music on my sdcard, and another one called video. When I run the media room app, it doesn't pick up that I have any music or videos.
Is there a specific folder these are supposed to go in to so that the media room picks them up?
I don't know about where to put them, but if you run doubletwist.. which is compatible and comes with the default SD card, or download it. You can have it sync a playlist for you. Then where it puts the music you could organize your self? Not a perfect solution, but would get the same result.

doubletwist sucks. Try isync. I tried doubletwist on my Evo and it doesn't allow me to just download the music (it downloads every stinking file that's sound or video on my computer) like I was able to do while syncing my ipod through itunes (that's what we're looking for, something that syncs the same way itunes does). I haven't tried isync yet, but I hear it's more like we mac/ipod owners are used to.
yeah... I'm not a big fan of doubletwist.
It's funny that the Gallery 3D picks up all the media wherever I put it, but the media room app doesn't. The only one it was able to find was a pic I put in the download folder.
I agree double twist sucks.
WMP (windows media player) also recognizes it as a valid sync device.
/sdcard/Music/ARTIST/Album..... etc
Hope that helps.
You can also set up Winamp wireless sync by checking out the newest version of winamp, but that is temperamental at best.
I used to keep my Ipod Nano in my car hooked up with an Aux cable but my Ipod's screen died so I ripped all my music from it onto my hard drive with different folders corresponding to different playlists i had set up.
I remember setting up playlists in the default android music app but they disappear everytime i flash a new ROM.
Ideally, I would like a music player that is able to use the playlists I have setup in Itunes but I do not mind making playlists again as long as they save the playlists on the SD card.
Anyone know of a music player that saves the playlist on the SD card so if I have to hard reset, i dont lose the playlist?
Thanks
Hey, this might be something you're interested in.
The app Audiogalaxy allows you to stream audio to your phone from wherever you setup the server.
You just download the app and download the server from the website and you can use whatever folders you set up with the helper.
I have access to all 60gb of my music as long as I have a data connection streams great. : )
Winamp... Also, if you d/l winamp on your computer you can sync it with itunes and your itunes playlists. then you can also sync your phone with winamp. At least I am pretty sure that's right.
Sweet, I will try these out after work!
I like the sound of this. I'll try it out now
I like stock Samsung player,but if you want something different i recommend DoubleTwist-its nice looking,simple and has streaming.
You could try the MiUi music player found here on xda.

Use Meridian. You can back up your playlists using the Play Q tab. Simply export your current playlists to the play Q. You can export the play Q lists to the regular playlist tab after flashing new roms. I love that feature
Also with winamp, you can push your music to your device over a wireles network, no cables needed!
CM7 ON MY EPIC!
RE: best music player with playlists...
I've tried a few music players and have to agree that Winamp is really good (and free). It just got a update and I think improved it a lot. The playlist function is really well done. I'm going to have to try the wireless transfer. Thanks for that tip!
Mortplayer. Its the bomb completely customizeable.
cd's or tapes?
Looking for the recommended way to transfer itunes music to the N7. I don't really want to purchase any converters and I don't have any protected content. It's just that not all files are mp3, and they're in the itunes file formats. Been searching and have ideas, but figured this would be a great place to ask.

Download itunes agent, I've been using it on my incredible S for a year and its awesome and easy
Why not just go to your iTunes music folder under your user profile in My Computer and drag n drop. Shouldn't need to install anything.

I use Isyncr WiFi . Syncs wirelessly
Can select specific playlists or everything.
Syncs play counts.

There is a consolidate library feature in iTunes that will put all music and stuff in iTunes folder.

doubletwist works perfect for me. Give it a try...
I downloaded the google music computer app which will upload all your iTunes music to google music. You can then either stream or download it to your device.

Is that only in the US?
Once you download and setup the app using a US proxy, you can upload and stream the music from anywhere

I loaded all my songs onto my phone but the Apple Music app doesn't recognize local files. Any way to make this work or suggestions. Thanks
