Mine connects fine to the computer and can copy files etc
In iSyncr, it will sync play counts but as soon as it tries to sync playlists/copy over songs it just freezes.
Spare phone has no issues. Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks

It sounds like you're syncing over MTP.
Are you seeing any error messages displayed on iSyncr Desktop?
Try syncing to the internal storage or SD card storage rather than what you've typically been syncing to - see if the result is any different.
I used iSyncr to sync over 3,000 songs to the external SD card without any issues.

I've tried two ROMs and both took at least three minutes to load the music tab.I have filed about half of my 16gb memory card with music and when i click the music tab the screen becomes unresponsivefor a few minutes and then any screen presses are carried out after the album artwork has loaded. does anyone else face this lag with the music tab? and how can I fix it? this is extremely annoying as it freezes the phone!
have u used the sync or disc mode to load the music?
I used the disk mode. is this the problem? I have been unable to sync my device using active sync because when I connect it,I get a message saying that outlook isn't the default email client or something and then the device charges but is nowhere to be seen on my computer.thanks for the quick reply btw

yep ! Same here ... a real pain. But I've found no solution yet ...
I've ca. 4GB music on my card and all is fast and responsive. Stock 1.48 GER.
It could have several reasons be that you have faulty mp3 or and faulty card.
On the other side its always better to sync music via Windows Media Player rather than doing it via copy/paste.
I would go for a format. and then try to make active sync working because sooner or later you will need it. If you can't do it right now I would try to copy the stuff folder by folder by folder. Before doing this i would check wheter all the files are valid. There are several threads here describing how to check this. Mp3Val is a good adress to begin with. Just download and run it over all mp3 files: http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/
In addition I would also have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5220474#post5220474 and check for those hints...

Do I have to sync everything or is there a way to sync only certain items?
I'm using Multimedia Synch by doubleTwist which came with the phone.
I want to be able to sync 1 movie on my phone without having to sync all my other songs because everytime I sync just the movie section it deletes my music off the phone.
Any help is appreciated.
You could connect in disk drive mode and drag and drop the movie in the folder of your choice.
Also can try to use Card with jacket
& insert in PC
with the phone

It is not a perfect solution, and not just for media, but what I do , is connect in disk mode and use a program called Super Flexible File Synchronizer, it will actually Synchronize the directories, making sure they are exact ...
does no conversion or anything, just syncs, also works for keeping a good backup of my whole SD card once a week or so ...
Simple stuff. I am looking for a program that can sync my music everytime I plug in my S4...
All it literally has to do is sync music. It doesn't have to play it or even edit the music tags or information, it simply needs to sync to my S4 external SD card. I just point the program to the folder I want to sync to and it adds everything that isn't on the SD card. just like an iPhone
Any recommendations?

I use isyncr and itunes (blasphemy I know).
But it works well for me, I have it wireless sync on a schedule both ways (playcounts, ratings, playlists). Or you can have it sync over usb (gets annoying everytime I plug my phone into the computer though tbh).
You can use whatever android media player you want - needs to be itunes on the pc though.
I have an extensive mp3 collection and I'd like to sync to my phone when I plug in USB. On my RAZR, I could use Musicbee, which synched the songs by USB complete with album art, directly to the Music folder on my external SD. But the S5 connects to my PC as a phone, rather than individual drives. I can sync the music to the external SD, but it filters to a series of nested folders relating to my PC username.

Two ways, depending on your current setup. I have my collection stored in Dropbox and I just use dropsync which is essentially a selective sync to mirror my Dropbox music folder on my SD card.
The other way, and admittedly something of a pain in the ass, would be just to physically mount your microSD using an adapter, in your laptop, and then use a desktop sync program.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have ~30GB music, and don't really feel like paying for more Dropbox storage
I've been transferring to the SD directly, but it's a pain and would rather just have it sync automatically.
Any other suggestions out there?
Hi All
New to Android and looking for the best way to sync my music to the honor 8. Downloaded doubletwist and it won't recognise my phone. Keeps saying to mount it and on the phone via notifications, I select files but has no option to mount the device.
Android file transfer works but want a sync function for better functionality. Alternatively tried just connecting my SD card however doubletwist won't sync FLAC / ALAC files, can it onyl sync MP3?
Thanks
How about using a free cloud service like Drive, Mega or Dropbox?
Just use a PC folder with the songs, have the cloud client installed and syncing that folder. At the phone side, point the music library folder as the synced folder and you don't have to worry about what type of files you are using.

Thanks for the advice, really good idea but I have over 50GB of music. Most are Flac
Anybody got doubletwist to work?
Also I noticed on PI Music Player + Black player, music controls on lock screen do not show, anybody else noticed?
