Can anyone help me here please?
I have searched all ,over and found many threads on this but non seem to answer my problem.
I may be fairly unique but I quite like the Sense music player. I have been working with it for a while now and almost have it doing my bidding.
I can get sections of my library onto my phone and playing in the sense player well now including album art and everything looks good.
The only thing I can't seem to do is import playlists from my PC into the sense player.
It's pretty frustrating having to re do my playlists from scratch in the sense player every time I shuffle my music.
I can't seem to find out where or what the sense player is looking for in a playlist. I have tried various formats and put them in different folders but can't get the sence player to see them.
I'm using MusicBee to sync my music as it's the only one I have found that syncs everything perfectly, including album art. I'm sure it will sync my playlists as well if only I can find out what format to use and where to put them.
Any ideas anyone??
OK I've given up. I'm now using Kinoma Play http://kinoma.com/play/ instead of the sense player. Works like a dream so far. All my music syncs and with a little tweaking in MusicBee my playlists go into Kinoma fine.
Still prefer the Sense player to be honest but it just won't do what I want.
There is a free version of Kinima but it's pretty limited, I had to upgrade to paid version to get access to playlists.
If you download the free version and run it you get a link to buy the paid one at a discount.
Why is the sense player so finiky :-(

Is it possible to import a playlist created on your PC i.e. .m3u into the HD2 and make it appear in the sense music player?
Can you sync music/playlist on your PC with the HD2?
Yes, use Windows Media Player and right click on the playlist and press "Add to sync list" and it will appear in the sense player when done.
Thanks...I'll give that a try
Just tried this but only music being transferred and found by sense music player...NOT playlists...Are you sure this works??
I'm wondering this, too...how can I get my fifty gazillion song playlist onto my phone without sitting down for hours and manually re-creating it? This is very frustrating. Can't we stick a text file or xml or something into the phone system to get sense to recognize it?

Doesn't work. I've got a Windows Media Player playlist on my pc that I want to copy to my phone and have Sense or at least WMP recognize it...anyone know how to do that, specifically?

Did anyone come up with a solution to this?
I have tried all sorts to get a playlist from my PC into my HD2 and to show up in the sence player to no avail
I've been playing with different ways to get my music on and seem to have a working solution using MusicBee which gets all my music including tags and album art into sense perfectly. It copies playlist over but I can't get sense to recognise them. Getting fed up with recreating playlists every time I change my music over on my phone
If anyone knows a way to get playlists into the sence player it would be most appreciated.
Hi,
Just thought I would put this on here becasue I have seen a few posts with people having this problem, where ITunes purchases were playing in the incorrect order in the sense player. I tried quite a few programs and none of them seemed to work, media monkey seemed to destroy quite a bit. So I got dBpoweramp music converter and it works a treat. It lets you edit the ID3 tags to whatever you like it has an easy to use interface and finaly my tracks are playing in the right order on sense music player. I did have to convert them to mp3 but that's a better choice to have anyway as it is far more universal than m4a.
Cheers

Anyone know of a good music player which has a resume function for each track?
I had Pocket Player on my HD2 which allowed me to stop one track, play another and then go back to the first track and continue where I left off. Used it a lot on audiobooks.
Alternatively, something that will allow me to set a bookmark on different tracks.
Even better would be one that does that and also still has music controls on the lockscreen like the stock player.
Not sure if I've come across anything like you want specifically for music.
If it's just for audiobooks, then try Ambling BookPlayer. It's pretty good at auto bookmarking what you are listening to, and comes with a widget too to play and pause books.
I'm using Ambling BookPlayer now and it's very good, particularly for my audiobooks and recorded drama. It's a bit of work to load the mp3 files into its library as it doesn't recognise the m3u playlists I have and it does not natively support album art but I liked it enough to buy the Pro version.
Mortplayer
Mortplayer Audiobooks in the market. Free. I used to use Mortplayer in WinMo and this seems much the same. Very reliable at saving where you are in each track. I have only used the android version for a few days but it seems OK and the WinMo one was rock solid, even picked up where I left off before a soft reset. Oh and there's a widget for it and it shows in notifications.
Worth a try.
im using mix zing lite
Does anyone have any suggested techniques for copying MP3 or WMA files to the phone (SD or Internal memory)?
What I've discovered is that synching with Media Player will transfer over these hidden files (album art, desktop.ini, and folder.jpg). These hidden files seem to mess with the way the Sense music player is picking up the music and what ends up happening is that in the music players details view, it does indeed break up the artists and the albums etc. HOWEVER, in the default view (the one that shows the album covers) it doesn't know what to do and only shows you the album cover of the particular album you are listening too. There's no way to get to the other album without going into the details menu and selecting it from there.
Whew - SO, all that being said; what I found is that if I delete the album art, desktop.ini and folder.jpg files BEFORE manually dragging and dropping the music over to the phone it seems to resolve the problem.
So is there a more streamlined approach to doing this?

Put your INC in DISK DRIVE mode and copy your files to the SD card using Windows Explorer. You can also take out the SD card, put it in a reader, plug that into your PC's card reader, and put the files there via Windows Explorer.
Of course, all this presupposes that your MP3 files are correct (e.g., their ID3 tags are correct; and the album art was already integrated).
I use Tunesync, there're also isyncr, doubletwist, websharing....
The thing I like about these sync software is that they put your music in a playlist, which all the players can see.
First thing I would do is ditch the default android player though and stay away from Music PlayerPro too (just a skinned default player-same options same problems).
I am using bTunes, I think it's already abandon by the developer, but since it works and I already paid for it so might as well.
I recommend Mort Player if you don't look at it too much, Man!..that UI is just plain Ugly.
DoubleTwist is great. It also syncs your videos as well. Best part is it only syncs what you want. You create playlists and it syncs based on their contents

Thanks for the info everyone. I guess the bottom line is that music software on Android is still in infancy stages with a lot of options but nothing that really just stands out. I hate to admit it but looks like Apple has a (+) in this department for now. My Incredible is a filler phone to hold me over until with WINMO7 stuff starts to hit Verizon so just looking for the best combinations of software on this thing.
I'm totally new to Android but I would have thought that the folks over at Google would have taken the media experience a little more seriously and spent some time on those aspects out of the box.

Google was doing fine, 2.1 was solid. It uses up battery like there's no tomorrow, but solid.
2.2 seem like it's coded by 5 year olds... in Mongolia...using Vtech's Vsmile system....during recess. Maybe that's why the battery last longer, nothing works. Could be a way to make us pay for third-party apps (free enterprise at work).
Bus, now that's just plan 'ol funny. Educational (for me) at the same time.
I use the free version of Media Monkey on my Win XP desktop and Meridian on my Dinc. Then I sync playlists (like I used to on my iPhone 3G). Works like a champ.
The iPhone is far superior in the music catagory (dsp, organization, genius) but u have to keep inmind it stemed from an ipod. That said the closest ive come to it is boomboxoid but its terribly slow and often unresponsive. Which is why i primarily use pandora now...an ipod like music player is the app i want most!

I've mentioned bTunes above. It's the exact replica of the iPhone/iPod player.
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?
