Hi,
I just transfered my itunes music using isyncr. It was simple enough and I am not a teckie. But I noticed that it only shows 100 songs. It did the same thing when I synced using the itunes agent. It shows that 300+ songs synced and 70 didn't because of drm issues. I am just using the stock music app. Can anyone help?
I use iTunes Agent because it's reliable, and of all I've tried, worked.
With that said, the iTunes DRM problem is there becaused you purchased music from the iTunes store at the cheapest price. The file is meant to only be played on Apple's devices. Since then, Apple has added iTunes Plus. Add a few cents more, and you get the music DRM-free.

So I will be recieving this beauty Next week and I was looking around but cant seem to find the answer.
I wish to stream my WMP or Itunes playlists on my tablet when I am home.
I did buy a Portable HD, but not really usefull to always copy my computer playlists over it and such.
Really looking for a streaming option.
I don't know how enamored/entrenched with iTunes you are, but once i entered the android world, I moved my music over to google music. It can be streamed or downloaded to your devices via Google's music app.

Google music will automatically import all your iTunes / wmv music and auto sync from that point forward.
Google music > iTunes

Yes, though you'll need to sign up with a US proxy (just for the signup, after that you don't need to worry about it).
Also, download Skifta or some other DNLA app and you can stream shared music and movies from your network (WinXP/Vista/7/8 machines, XBox360, PS3, and more support DNLA).
EDIT: See you have an S2X...Samsung calls their DNLA client for their phones and tablets AllShare, if you've used that, Skifta does pretty much the same thing.
Yeah i got skifta using it for vids. But I found that for music it wasnt great. Just managed to sync my principl plulist on google music!looks good

I was a big iTunes user and I have far too many songs to just drag and drop, Google music is a life saver... Better then iTunes

You don't need US proxy for sign up, its available in the UK now. Just upload all your music to the cloud, install Google music app, play.

He's in Canada, like me. It's not active here yet, so we still need to use a proxy for the sign up.

My only concern with Google Music is there is no offline player. If your net connection goes you loose the ability to play your music.
OK you could just navigate to the folders and play them as they are, or use something like iTunes but it kinda defeats the point

Think you missed the point. I was specifically talking about desktop support where the local hard copies of your music are stored
I don't see why it is a problem that you can play your music with any application that you would like to.
I'm confused why your desktop is even in the discussion. Google Music will let you stream music to your tablet or phone without any interaction with your desktop. You can continue to use your desktop as you do now.
If you want something that streams directly from your desktop then look into Subsonic.

Love google music but just tried to download some of my playlists to the nexus and it is unbeleivably slow, I have 50meg broadband...
I have search the forums and not found what I'm looking for so I will start a thread.
I just used Google play to purchase a album and I selected the download to device option so I wouldn't have to deal with any storage in the cloud. the issue is when I scan folders for new music or using the power amp app, it cannot find this new music. I have used root explorer and can not find the folder Google play placed my purI feel pretty stupid starting a thread for this but any help would be appreciated
Sorry, but when you purchase music from Google Play you have to use their app to play it back, which is Play music. I do not believe there is an option to download your music, because it is a cloud based service. Amazon mp3 is the same thing as google play music, but you have the option to download your music rather than only stream it, which is much better imo.

I was afraid this is what I would find out. I normally purchase my music from Amazon via the download function. Kinda pissed I made the purchase now and can't burn a copy of it for the CD player in the car.
He is correct, can "only" be played via the Google Music app, but there is a work around. Amazon does let you download instantly, but music is 260kbs, Google is 320kbs. You can download your google Music on your pc and manually transfer to your device like any other mp3, or even upload it to amazon and download from there.
Google Music removes the instant dl, but adds full mp3 quality sound.
You then can use any music app.

This is correct... The website allows 2 downloads of each song, presumably so you don't download it to all of your friends computers.
However, you will find the files under /data/data/com.google.android.music/files, but unfortunately the filenames are just numbers, again presumably because they don't want you to copy the songs. It will just be a pain to find which is which.
The frustrat against android strikes again.
I'm just curious to know why in the world the songs available on Google play music on the Web keep getting double or tripled on my phone. I aprocimstely have around 800 songs on my entire playlist on Google music but on my phone it decides that some songs will show in double or triple... Why? Please explain me why?

You should use poweramp its way better and you can delete from there. I don't really know why but it may be categorizing the songs as different categories, artists, genres, etc. I also seen that when adding music that you downloaded from say torrent it sometimes makes double copies of the songs for some reason. I'd seen it happen a lot when I had an iPhone adding music via iTunes and I would have to go through all the songs and search for the doubled songs. But like I said download poweramp find a song that has doubled or tripled and delete the other one or two

The problem is not in the computer itself. It's the application or something. The song is only 1 time in my pc.
Also, does poweramp auto sync with iTunes? Like the music manager does?

it might be seeing a copy on the phone and a "copy" that it streams from their servers.
Hi all, anybody know of a music player that will syce between multiple devices including a pc? I usually use the Amazon music app but they've discontinued music uploads. Amy help would be great thanks.
Google play music is not without its flaws but it will at least do this (as long as you can live with uploading only from the PC or by using workarounds like a cloud storage synced folder).
I never noticed Amazon had disabled uploads for non-paying customers - there were things I liked better about the player, but the free storage limit was too small to be useful to me anyway.
if you use iTunes you can use iSyncr and sync your playlists to your android devices and use Poweramp or a music player of your choice. Poweramp is a top notch player with a high quality EQ btw. I used to use Google Play Music from time to time but it is lousy at syncing from my computer to the cloud and to the phone and tablet. it adds the same albums like 4 times over in the playlists and gets them all screwed up. So i gave up.

This is googles sync tool, point it at your music folder on your PC and let it rip. Songs will be streamable from the Google music app.
