I got my XOOM and overall I love it! However, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get playlists onto it. I have a music folder on my Fascinate that contains playlist files and I copied it into the XOOMs Music folder and the music shows up but not the playlists. I can use DoubleTwist AirSync but then the music and playlists only show up in DoubleTwist (I only use this to sync my Fascinate not play music). So what am I missing? Any suggestions? I'm a Mac OSX user just so you guys know. Thanks for the help!

I currently have all of my music (15,000+ songs) set up for use with Itunes/iPod. I would like to try to use Windows Media Player with the HD2. However, I am concerned about letting Media Player access my files that are currently cataloged in iTunes.
1. Can I set up Media Player so that it accesses the mp3 and m4a files but doesn't copy or move the files from the iTunes folder?
2. If I add the music to the Media Player system, can I rate the music in the Media Player without changing or disrupting the music files themselves?
3. Can Media Player playlists be created without disrupting the iTunes system?
If you currently are using Media Player/HTC Player AND iTunes/iPod successfully, can you tell me if there are any issues that need dealing with? Up until now I've been manually copying music to the HD2. Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of corruption issue if I delete files that I've added to playlists from within the HD2 Player. I'm assuming that using Media Player to create lists is easier and more secure than creating lists from manually copied files.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

The easiest way I recommend which I my self did is Find your Itunes library on your computer copy it to your HD2's storage Card and from there do whatever you like.

From my original post: "Up until now I've been manually copying music to the HD2. Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of corruption issue if I delete files that I've added to playlists from within the HD2 Player."
As far as I know you should delete songs from the folder that you have your music in it usually on your storage card that should not be any problem,another way is that you use the ActiveSync to sync your music files from your computer to your device,in this way whenever you add or delete a music file on your PC it will be automaticaly synced to your Phone,this sure is the better way.
Anyone else having an issue getting the music player to see .m3u playlist files?
I don't use Kies since I'm on a Mac, so I copy everything over onto the SDcard. The media scan completes but my playlists don't show up in the player.
If I use a music player from the market (such as doubleTwist) then it sees and plays the M3U files fine.
I'm not particularly fussy what player I use, but recognising my playlists is a basic prerequisite.
Do you found a solution
I have the same problem....
Thanx
I have the same frustrating problem. I hope we can get it sorted out.
Same problem here on my t-mobile vibrant any luck with a fix. Im using missing sync for android on my mac and after sync i see all my music but no playlists show up. If you navigate to the music on the sd card you can see all the playlists.
No fix I'm aware of.
I'm using a combination of iSyncr and Lithium Player to sync with iTunes and play/scrobble music.
Only 10 but I copied 25.
I'm using windows playlist. I copy over(example) 25 playlist but only 10 actually show up. They are all the same format as well. It also doesn't seem to actually store them. By that I mean that it's not that it is only shows 10 there are only ten on the card? Even though I copied 25 across. it says copy is successful and everything.
Desire 2.1 Sense. Not rooted.
Another one with the same problem here. Samsung Galaxy S spanish movistar version, no m3u lists showing when copied from my macbook.
Is the problem solved with kies?
It wouldn't be the fastest way, but it will always be better than make de playlists on the pone.
I surrender... I want to use the default music player from my Galaxy S, so I finally choose this way, from lycan_codex, just search: "[Q] What Playlists formats are supported by Samsung Galaxy S music player?". I will write to Samsung an email and wait if they will fix (if it's need fixed, I mean that samsung maybe don't want to able read m3u files for any reason).
Hi,
i got my sgs yesterday and i am wondering why the stock mp3-player does not recognize playlists which i sync with kies. the mp3 files will be synced, also the *.pla playlist file, but the player doesn't show it. my whole music library is based on playlists and i don't want change this. I also tried doubletwist which can read *.m3u files but, because of the lagging problem i have, it's impossible to use this. I also do not want to flash my phone after 2 days of usage.
Is there any way to create playlists on pc which i can use with the default mp3-player? I also tried creating playlists directly in the player but for me its too circumstantial doing this for 20 compilations.
I am pleased for any advice.

same problem for me cant seem to transfer awhole playlists in PC to SGS with kies,really like Samsung Music Player but because of this thing i have to use Doubletwist
If you use mixZing, it'll be able to read your .m3u playlist files, and if i may add, it got one of the most advanced equalisers on the market.
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?
Hey guys, I have been using real player for a whole and i love the UI. I love having an app that I can play music and videos from the same app. The problem is, My playlists are not showing up with real player. I am using sailing media sync to sync my itunes playlists.

I have honestly donr just about everything short of creating my playlists directly on my tablet. I am trying to avoid doing this.
PLEASE HELP!
