Hello Dave! The same on my Desire, and i got like 400 songs, but on the main screen of the player is shows 1/100. So i'm using meridian player, which is reading the play lists from sd. But i will like to have access on the player (like on the phone one) while the screen is locked

I wonder how to make Android music app OR Htc Music app read album art/cover? Do I just put in a jpg in the music folder or how do I do?
Thanks!
embed the album art into the ID3 tags.
I think itunes and winamp do this.
there is a nice music player called cube on the market
Does anybody know a music player that doesnt skip music while BT connected to my FM carkit?
I tried two carkits but only if i reset the Desire will i have no music skipping. But only until the next time I start the connection again. Then it is back to skipping.
I tried another phone (Palm Pre) with both kits and it works like a charm.
I can only remember problems with HTC and BT A2DP ! Had it before with HTC Windows Mobile phones as well and waiting for an update is not an option with HTC.
So maybe this is the wrong thread ....

You have proably already done this but have you disabled the wireless when connected. I also reconnected my phone to my bluetooth car stereo and it now works fine with no skipping
yes

mine did this, got stuck and forced closed when you scrolled past a certain number. having said that,i can't find out how to get in to coverflow now! how do you access it?!
finally figured it out
open the music player as normal and press the bottom left key on the screen (the one with 3 lines)
When the next menu pops up press right once so the album list is present
Then press the menu key on the front of the phone (actual button) and press 'play all'
and it will return to the player with all albums ,now able to swipe through each
Got it!

nice one. so cover flow is for a play list, almost. if you're browsing by track or have told it to okay all albums then it works. kind of makes sense, that

tried that. also tried airplane mode but doesnt really make a difference; it comes and goes.
the desire player must have good and bad days wrt to the skipping but what makes the difference i do not know (yet)
this used to be an old habit of WM phones. Never have it with my Palm Pre.
HTC Android no guarantee either
try bTunes app. Looks like an ipod touch and has a lot of good features, such as reading a specific folder on the sd card, and can pull album art from last.fm i think it is. Lock screen controls too. its less than £2 i think.

Thanks for the heads up. I like the iPod style music player just for simplicity. Like the lockscreen controls too. Shame it doesn't have a homescreen widget!
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 really want to buy an Android device ( d: ) , but I'm not sure if there is that big of variate of mods and programs to make listening to music easier on Android.
I am used to an iPod Touch (jailbroken) with music controls over the volume rocker (I've read CyanogenMod has that !) and a real fast/easy way to listen to music.
After researching on the net, I have found some really nice programs like PowerAMP, but since I don't own an Android device, i can't really tell how good everything works and what else there is.
Of course I'd read myself into how to root and so on, and I'd do anything to make my next phone a good music player !
So what do you think are really important mods/programs for making music on Android easier and better ?
In my opinion, PowerAMP is the best music player for Android. You modify everything on the equalizer. Of course you've got presets (this way is easier for my). The biggest problem with the application is its price !! you've got a free trial period, but after, you've got to pay...
the default music player on Android gets the job done it just doesnt look good. Id advise just buying a Zune HD or and iPod Touch for your music
Well I have an iPod Touch, but i HATE carrying both an iPod and a phone (a brick right now )
Would it be possible to get the volume-rocker control for music to work with PowerAMP (<-- i dont care if it costs a little. As I've said, I'd do almost anything ) ??
Music controls do work with the volume rocker, track up and down, with PowerAMP. I'm sure CyanogenMod has an impact on that feature though. I think the mod is the fact that the command for blue tooth track next is mapped to the long press volume function, same with the lockscreen controls.
So you are saying that skipping (short hold of up/down) and pausing (power button ?) songs works on PowerAMP "out-of-the-box" (without root ?) ?
And also if I'd like to put CM on my device, it's possible that the functions would interfere ?
No, like I said, not stock. I use trackball wake so I can't comment on that.
so what would i have to do to get the functions like that to work with PowerAMP ?
Root and install CM6x
I use Lithium Player and I love it. It has a unique UI and can fetch album art as well. The player allows you to make playlists and customize the color of the UI. The player also finds playlists from other music apps on the phone, so that you don't have to keep remaking playlists. If you have any problems or concerns, just email the dev and he will reply back in a timely manner. Me and the dev are actually working on something big right now, and if you want to help, please visit my site at futurinnovations.blogspot.com.
Youll have A TON of options. Different players with different feature sets etc.
Trackball/vole skip etc are all available. Dont be afraid to root. Most of the time your device will have a simple one or few step solution.
If youre on here then you are already part of a tremendous community and have a stack of info and help at your fingertips.
With PowrAmp options , the interface , the widgets , lock screen controls etc and most of all the custom EQ make it a much better music experience than an Iphone/Ipod.
DoubleTwist makes Itunes syncing easy if its a MUST.
Winamp features wireless syncing.
Again really a no brainer. Music/sound quality will vary from device to device.
If you just want the best sound neither Android/Apple offer that. Perhaps theres an Android device that does have some great sound hardware but all in all smaller portable players with better sound chips will be a better choice in audiophile terms.
Good headphones + Poweramp are the next best thing. Plus you get the best damn communication OS/devices available off a desktop so go for it.
Mortplayer
One really good FREE Solution to all the features i read about PowerAMP is
MortPlayer... (DL widgets separately).
- lockscreen widget, playing from folders, playlists, volume controls etc.

Hi all,
After 5 years of Apple (not a fanboy) I've had enough, seen the specs for the S4 & some of its features and feel it's time to change.
I've bought every version of the iPhone since the 3G, que'd up or pre ordered every new release but now........ I've just lost interest the iphone is beautiful to look at, but features & inovation have deserted the iphone. So I've pre ordered a S4 which I will hopefully get on release day here in the UK, so for when it arrives I have a few questions
All my tunes & songs are in itunes, will I be able to transfer them, With album art etc?
Currenty use Atomic Floyd earbuds, so can make & recieve calls & skip tracks on the move (cycling) can I buy the same for S4
Books, can I transfer to the S4
I'm quite a user of emoji on my iphone, just in text. this standard in android?
I know I'm going to lose a load of apps, but I'm sat here looking through my iphone & hardly use any of them anyway lol, Just cant wait to bluetooth songs & pics, have files on my phone (in folders) i can access/amend/email just freedom to do these things Apple strangle!, not to mention expandable memory, battery swapping, playing AVI's without converting & pissing about in itunes......
Looking forward to an actual upgrade, something new
all itunes music is compatible with the stock S4 music player, yes with cover art and tags
I'm not sure about the earbuds, but those features SHOULD work
not sure about books either, are they DRM protected?
and even though I'm not sure, I think the stock messaging app does support emoji,
but even if it doesn't, you're free to install another one
Well first congrats, the iPhone 5 is great but change is awesome. I believe that there is a way to import your songs from the iPhone 5 to S4, don't quote me on this but I think it was introduced with the S4 ( I have to look it up), otherwise there are apps like doubletwist that should work. Not sure about books.
Also the S4 should come with headphones that let you skip track, answer calls all that good stuff.

Yeah I know it will come with some earphones, but will be after some premium ones. (normally never take the originals out the box)
I love the iphone 5 for its simplicity & elegance, have it jailbroke to install extra features but for me, its not enough....... Apple (since Jobs) isn't a leader, it's a follower.
I think even Samsung KIES has an option to import iTunes. I don't know about the artwork though.
My GF uses isyncr. It also works over wifi. She gets her album art as well. The only thing that might not transfer is music you bought through iTunes.
But there are dozens of ways to get your music and playlist back with album art. The thing about Android is that there are more than 1 ways to do things.
Music = drag and drop on windows = done

Just copy all of your songs from iTunes into a music folder either on your phone or a microSD card. The album are should come with them.

I recommend GoSMS for SMS messaging. You get an awesome Quick Reply and it's VERY customizalble. It supports Emoji and theming. Check it out here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gosms
All in all, I think you will be happy with the GS4. I also had every iPhone (except the 5) and the freedom I found with Android was well worth it.
There's multiple apps you can use to text emojis. Go SMS is the one I use. I also figured out that if you set your twitter account up to be able to tweet via sms, you can text the number (I think it's like 40404) and use an emoji in the text if for some reason you want to tweet an emoji.

Music: Yes, you can transfer all with no issues. I get music from iTunes all the time. You can't transfer from iTunes itself, you'll need to either drag and drop, import iTunes playlists to other PC/Mac players like mediaMonkey, or get the app iSyncr which wirelessly (or wired) syncs directly with iTunes, the only thing is it's like 4USD. Worth it though. Albums, tags, and all will transfer to and from.
Earbuds: Yes, they will work. The only thing you can't do with them is raise / lower volume. If it has a mic and all that will work great, so will play/pause answer/hangup. I have a pair of Beats with ControlTalk for iDevices and it works great for me.
Books: Not sure. I never use books, If they're from apple then most likely not. Android does support books (obviously), just don't know about the compatibility if you get it from iTunes.
Emoji: Yes, the stock keyboard and many other on the Play store all fully support them.
You will LOVE android. The S4 is one if not the best device to get once it's out. Hope to see you on XDA, and don't forget to root to have even more fun!
For your iTunes music:
1) download google's music manager to your Mac/PC
2) sync music manager with your iTunes music folder
3) download google play music when you get your S4
4) voila! Your entire iTunes music library is now on your S4 with cover art that you can stream from the cloud.

So you really wanna leave?I just wanna one now.
Welcome to android and enjoy your honeymoon by managing all these things. yes S4 could well be your next GF
As said by many, songs should work easily as well as books. I have used a lot of variety of earbuds, I found all compatible. Regarding emoji, handcent sms is the best app.
Contents you can sync:
1.Sync Contacts and Calendar
On your iPhone go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Set up a new "Microsoft Exchange" account or add Gmail account by going to Add account > Gmail.
Input your email address and login info.
Select "Server" then either input the ME server address or "m.google.com" for Gmail.
On the final screen, select what you want to import—Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and/or Reminders—then hit Accept.
2.Sync Photos, Music and Videos
Windows:
Connect the iPhone with the PC.
Right-click your iPhone, select Explore and copy the media files to your desktop.
Connect the Android phone with PC, and drag and drop the iPhone photos and videos to your Android pictures folder DCIM, music goes to Music.
Mac:
Connect the iPhone with the Mac.
Open the Image Capture and download these files to the desktop.
If you are using new Android runs ICS or above, download Android File Transfer Utility to your Mac, and then drag-and-drop.
Android can't sync with iTunes, so after the syncing of media,you'll need an alternative service to load new media onto the device. You can use Google Play to help you load your collection directly from iTunes.
3.Sycn SMS and voice mail
You need a app to help you sync SMS messages. The free app My SMS is the good option which syncs text messages among your various devices—phones, tablets, laptops, and whathaveyou—and is compatible with both Mac and Windows. Download the app on both phones and follow the setup instructions and the app will easily help you do that.
For the voice mail messages, you just need to pay some money. Programs like PhoneView (Mac - $30) and iExplorer (Mac and PC - $35) can be quite helpful. You'll be able to copy not just voicemail to the desktop, but also your call history, contacts, bookmarks, notes, and media files as well with them.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.books&hl=en
You can always use Google Books, but I am sure you would have to purchase each book over again. It WOULD be nice for publishers to have some kind of cross platform syncing for something like books, magazines...
Sup XDA,
I jumped the gun to get dat galaxy S7 edge in black onyx, to replace my note 7.
My planned usage:
Used the phone for calling,texting,social media, etc.
-Media consumption using a 1440p screen for youtube, netflix, and some native HDR contant, music using lossless files with poweramp and music streaming with spotify
-Heavy 3D games, emulators, and pokemon Go, etc.
-Using hpc applications, loading compute payloads using otg, gnuroot to run workstation applications (programming, scripts, sensor data, machine vision, etc.); Use for on the go work but mostly a side/independant work
-Using drafting application on native andriod and linux (part of the previous point)
-Used fingerprint and iris scanner, SD card encryption, phone encryption during start up, secure folder, etc.
-Used all samsung features
-Listen to music using a 3.5mm jack at home and bt headphones on the go/gym
-Taking pictures, videos, using slow mo (editing them to)
-etc.
So, to summarize : I love media consumption and media capture with the phone, I use every feature my Note 7 has and I would love to use newer features to. Battery life should be well and I love expandable storage. I use my phone for emulators, Pokemon Go, other high graphic (for a phone that is) game, spotify, data storage and transfer (for my work files and such), and I do use some "High Performance" application on the phone such as Autocad, Matlab , gnuroot Debian and other analysis software and even computing by uploading payloads via usb otg (as a hobby and sometimes to complete work on the go). I also love using root access (but if I can get most root features without rooting the phone it be great). With all that, I also use the phone like any other person such as for social media, phone calls (omg I know ), test messaging etc.
For the future: I would use Android wear/samsung gear s3, wireless charging, etc.
So if I want the best performance should I use smart switch?
Since the phone is directly from Samsung it doesn't have any carrier bloat but are there anythings I should disable? Is it worth getting the package disabler?
Is there any apps I should use to replace the samsung keyboard?
Also does anyone know of a light weight launcher with a dark theme, swipe up for app tray, folder support (either the circular ones from pixel or rounded edges from the grace ux) and have a black google pill?
Anything else I should know?

I love nova launcher and the new gbaord.
but have you bought it yet? because the DAC on this phone is not exactly great. if you love music. if you have hi-fi headphones don't expect much, but I only use Bluetooth headphones with my phone So I don't really care I bought it 20 hours ago So maybe I judged to fast? someone else could confirm this. but mind that al-thought Samsung phones aren't bad. there are a lot of fanboys who would deny anything even if it's true so maybe see for yourself!. (Ehm, it still lags, but come on,it's only a little, it also has purple smearing which is a lot less than old phones but still there. Everyone seems to deny that.),
EDIT: Ouch didn't see that title sorry! I hope you love it. I do despite the flaws! but it's not worth the price tag at all. but I already paid it so what can you do?
