Just got my SGS2. Fired up iSyncr and iTunes and synced about 1600 songs to my new phone.
Media Scan then completed
I fired up powerAMP and PlayerPro and stock music player.
ALL of them showed 408 songs as unknown artist.
Yet on my Motorola Defy and in iTunes all the artists are perfect. I have formatted the sd card and resynced the music still no good.
Anyone else experienced this problem?
Yes, though I used TuneSync to move them over. I just removed album art from one album and had iTunes reload it automatically. Then I sync'ed again, now the music shows up. All of it, even the stuff that I didn't touch. Weird. (XWKE7, rooted)
How do you sync iTunes with this phone?
I haven't got the phone yet but it would be good to know
programs on the phone called isyncr or tune sync will do it.
though any m4a/acc music wont show artist names correctly.
Does it come pre installed?
no, they can be purchased from the market.
I'd suggest giving iTunes away, only gives you headaches if you aren't an iOS user. Better to have a properly curated tag collection...

itunes isnt a problem for me. in fact i love it. isyncr has always been brilliant at keeping my android and itunes libraries in sync. Its just this sgs bug that is causing trouble. Hope samsung fixes it soon.
Same here, NickChaplin. TuneSync worked flawlessly on Cyanogenmod.
The same here, all the songs i bought from iTunes my SGSII won't recognize the artist name.... On my Desire it works perfect.

nope, poweramp, player pro, winamp, double twist AND stock media player ALL have the same problem.
Thats because its a problem with the way the media scanner reads the ID3 tag of the m4a file and then adds it to the android music library that ALL the above media players read from.
What? I had the same issue with my vibrant. Poweramp automatically fetches album covers. Even random mixtape songs.
I agree it should work by default. But its hit or miss with devices. Poweramp solves this problem by fetching the album covers.

sorry, all my music already has album art.
Try MediaFix from the Market.
Try MIUI Music APK. That always popped out artist info, lyrics, CD art, and everything else automatically for me. Well, 90% of the time at least.
There is a bug in Android's media indexing & storage service. Sometimes it doesn't get the artist. Some apps like Mediafix or TuneSync index the music themselves and put the correct artist in the service's database. Until the bug is fixed, the only way to solve the problem is to either use players that don't rely on the service or to fix database yourself with the appropriate applications. MIUI's player will only work better if it doesn't rely on Android's internal indexing. I'm pretty sure it does rely on it.

Something that really irritates me is that I have my music on iTunes organized but when I transfer with DoubleTwist and play the music on Meridan Music player, it gets disorganized.
Is there any player that retains the organization from iTunes?
bTunes shamelessly mocks the appearance of the player on the iPhone /iPod Touch. It also handles the library in a similar way (unlike many other players for android, it does NOT slaughter compilations by creating an album entry for each artist)
This app is well in beta stage and is a bit rough around the edges. For me, it FCs on phone boot, but nothing seems to stop working. I cant find a homepage for the app, just search for btunes in the market.

One thing I noticed is that Android doesn't have a very good Music management system. It will organize based on what your properties of each song is. It sucks because I had a terrible accident with some garbage media player once and it messed up all of my music's properties. [around 1500 songs]. I took about 2 hours fixing them all because I got tired of not having my Music organized. That's one of my biggest pet peeves.

This issue has been resolved in the latest round of updates. The dev seems to update this app quite often.
I'm looking for bTunes in a few minutes. I was actually thinking of trading my N1 for an unlocked 3GS just because it really irritates me. So will my iTunes library transfer as it is on my Mac?
Anyone able to sort their music on the N1, through any music player, BY DATE ADDED or MODIFIED??
I want to listen to the music I added to the music folder most recently.
I have a big library, and i want to listen to the new stuff first....
Hello all,
I am a former iPhone user to just received his Moto Atrix today and I am trying to get some music on the device.
My iTunes library does not revolved around playlists, but instead I use the "Albums" view to play/sync music (to my iPhone). When I sync the iPhone, I have an option of checking which albums I want to sync.
Is there any software I can get/purchase that will let me do this for the Droid. I would like to still use iTunes as my music management software, but sync Albums onto my Atrix. I have tried some software (doubleTwist) but it only allows syncing of playlists (which I don't have). This software would also have to have the ability of playing from the "Albums" on the Atrix.
[See attached for what I would like the application to be able to sync]
Thanks in Advance,
Tom

Giving this a try now. So far so good. I am syncing the music now, which is half the battle. Hopefully some music player will be able to "detect" these albums. I will be trying MixZing first.
Make a playlist with everything you want to sync
Or you can download the Motorola medialink software, as it can sync all your itunes musics. Of cause the DRM free one's.

This is essential anyway if you have more music than you have space on the phone, which if you are into music - is likely. In that case, stick to doubletwist.

iTunes agent worked beautifully. I am able to see my albums in the Music player as well as Mixzing.
Cleaned up some album covers that were missing using the free album cover app.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

No problem.
So ever since i got the tab I have been having trouble with putting music on it. Everytime i save songs on the tab from my computer, the songs appear in other albums, the artists names appear for other songs, I get force closes...
Does anyone know what this could be happening?
Also, would a different music player app help solve this problem or organization?
Thanks for the help!
I use mediamonkey to properly name, tag, and include album art. Afterwords, I easily sync the music to my tablet (or drag and drop, depending on the mood).
This method works really well for having organized music on your tablet that's static, the way you set it up to sync in mediamonkey. Hope this helps.
Hey, thanks for the response. You kind of lost me there though... You said you use Mediamonkey to organize it then you pass it onto your tab. Does that mean Mediamonkey is a program on your computer or did i just understand it wrong and it's an app on the tab?
Thanks again! I'm hating the music situation at the moment...
I hate the stock music player and even the Google Music app because...tada..they all FC all the time. Can't even play more than one song.
I use PowerAmp, its the only music app that has ever worked for me on Android, ever !
As for tagging songs, MediaMonkey is good, but i just use iTunes.

Weird thing I was browsing the other date and I found out that there was an update for the music app but the tab never noticed me about it.
Btw it works fine for me

How are you transferring your music to your tab? I use mediamonkey on my PC to manage my music... and then from within mediamonkey I tell it to sync whatever songs or albums I want directly to the tab. I am betting your mp3 tags are getting messed up in the transfer.
Mike
Am really appeciating the help everyone, thanks!
So far still not having much luck...
I am currently trying to use MediaMonley as previously suggested. I am getting tags from the web and that works in general, but sometimes does not work. When doing this, does it alter the orig file? The process i have been using to transfer music is open up "My Music" on my PC where I thought I had things well organized by artist. Then i copy them over to the tab. Should I try syncing through MediaMonkey? How would I do this? Sorry if my questions and understanding are noob like.
Another issue I am having is in my gallery on the tab. Every track has the picture of the Album or whatever which is taking up insane amounts of storage as well just seems dumb...
Will also look into another music player as suggested.
Feel free to comment on any of this. I'm still trying to figure it out and am struggling. Makes me feel like deleting all my music to start over!!!!
Have you tried PlayerPro??
You can pick songs/albums from folders so much easier to organise.

It's because iTunes is a horrible behemoth of garbage piled on garbage. I'm serious.
But the m3u files created by isyncr are correct so nothing to do with itunes... it must be how the samsung music app reads and displays m3u playlists.....?
Does this happen in other music players? My guess is not.
If I recall, this happens with the default player on the Samsung Fascinate, so I'm not surprised that it is happening in another Samsung music player.

I only have the Samsung player installed as it is rather nice. I just wanted to confirm that it was a player issue which it sounds like....Hopefully a future update will fix it....
Anyone know how to overcome this? I have lots of deep playlists which are now in the wrong order :-(
Is there a setting for the Samsung player?
Okay guys this one gets me...
I have done a lot to try and figure this out but this is such a weird problem I had to make this post. (I feel like the answer must be something simple!!)
Anyways so I just recently moved my entire iTunes library to my Mac(Hackintosh) because I like Mac more. So moved all my songs to iTunes on the Mackintosh HD. All good there.
When I went and deleted all my music off my Nexus 6P to go and re-sync it with the new library everything went fine as well.
BUT now for some RANDOM reason, like probably 80% if my tracks have the same album art work... not all of them though, just like most of them... SO ANNOYING.
TO NOTE:
- I use iSyncr to transfer all my music from my iTunes to my android device. works great and always has.
- I use BlackPlayer as my main music player. Has worked great so far..
- When I open my GOOGLE PLAYER (think this is the stock audio player idk) all the tracks in question all have the same album art but its a different album art........ wtf
- My iTunes library is fine and all album art is correct. Not all tracks have art but thats fine..
WHAT I HAVE TREID:
- Deleted entire music library and iSyncr app off device and re-synced everything with no luck..same problem
- Deleted black player and all associated files on device. no luck
- Tried multiple music players and all have the same problem. Almost all tracks that didn't have any album artwork on my device now have A$AP Rockys album cover as their image... but in black player the album cover they all have is one from Adventure Club...
- Used a 3rd party album artwork software to delete the troublesome artwork. no luck, doesn't work.
I am so frustrated has anyone ever has this issue? I Googled and couldn't get any hits. Thanks guys.
I got the same issues as well... will keep a watch on this thread to see if some1 posts some help

Something wasn't working right so this thread helped me. Deleted the app from my phone completely and all my music again as well as reinstalled it on my mac and updated the iTunes settings. album art works now and I am so happy.
