What program does everyone use to sync their itunes playlists to their S5?
I've tried isyncr, doubletwist, and different types of file managers but i have been able to find something as simple as itunes and that doesn't mix up my album covers.

Well Sir, That's a good question I would like to know too!
Im tired of modifying music on itunes and later finding the file, then usb/wifi pass it to phone.
If there is a good app for that, I would like to know.
Urm Google music? Download the music manager for the PC and it will sync with iTunes. Just runs in the background and will sync your play lists etc. The Android app will then download the music as you need it. Album art and all.

Ok this is the biggest annoyance I've had with android since getting rid of my iPod touch and using this instead.
How do I get my playlists from iTunes, WMP, or Foobar2000 to work with Android? I can sync over folders, files, music, etc, just fine.. playlists show up but they're empty with no music in them!
Halp? I googled around and nothing seems useful/worth spending money on.
look up doubleTwist. i think it does itunes playlists
Foobar: right click playlist, save as, save it on the nexs phone.

great program i use it. i also say go with Double Twist, I just dont like the face i gotta mount it everytime i connect it. might just down load the program in the market so it auto mounts when connected to DT
I use Salling Media Sync on my mac and it works great for synching iTunes playlists and iPhoto albums.
double twist isn't detecing the playlists I made in iTunes... How do I fix this?
There are many Windows programs that will do this, one or two for the Mac for ZERO for Linux. ON A LINUX BASED DEVICE! (sorry for yelling, this has just driven me crazy for over a year...sigh)

not to start an OS war but this is why people still use windows and not Free, 'stable', more capable, less resource hungry, Linux systems.

The music app recognizes the playlist?
I sync my entire music folder with my nexus one, with sync toy
i use Zune for music on the PC, and the Nexus One reads the .wpl playlist that i made with the zune software
Your issue might be that you are trying to sync DRM protected music. You can rebuy them from the iTunes store without it for half the price of each song. It has a little icon in there for that process. Apple took off DRM, but was of course stubborn about it.

Yup, as long as your file names are identical between your computer and phone.
Directory structure doesn't matter.

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

That's the one I just tried. It only seems to be able to sync "Playlists" and not Compilations/Albums
Sorry I must have skipped that part in your post.

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.
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.
Sent from my always stock, froyo Epic
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?
Iam using the stock google music app and I synced my music with Windows Media Player 12 from my Windows 7 laptop. I have all my Album info but no Artist info. I've search for a way to get the info and I have removed all my music and resynced. Is there an app that can help or did I do something wrong when I synced my music. Thanks for the help.

I haven't used WMP in a long time but I'm guessing when you say sync, you actually hooked up the tab to you laptop and than synced within WMP?
If so, than maybe just try directly copying the mp3's over from your laptop to your micro sd card.
Tried that too no luck. Thanks for the suggetion.

There are a couple ways to get artist and album info into your music. There are some apps on Android that can do it, but I personally find that it's music better to deal with doing this on a PC or Laptop than within Android.
The first and easiest method is to use WMP. Once your music is in a place WMP can actually find it, ie: a monitored folder of your PC, by default I think it's My Music but you can add folders manually, then you can open up WMP and hit the Find Album Info button, and go ahead and match your tracks to what you see in there. This works best if you have the music already arranged in folders using the Artist and Album names.
The second way is manually, there's an application called MusicBrainz Picard which is really good at identifying mp3s and also tagging them. If you ripped your music yourself from CDs or purchased them from Amazon or iTunes it should find the information and will match it up for you.
If MusicBrainz doesn't work for you, the last ditch program is Mp3tag which can look the information up based on Album or Artist names, then you can have it batch tag the files for you, based on your arranging the mp3s into the proper order, or you can just tag a few - whichever you prefer.
There are other tools as well but these are the programs I use, so I can only speak for them.
Good Luck.

Than you could try a different media player and see if google music is the problem.
Theres pleanty of free ones in the market.
Temp Fix
I sort of got my artist info. I downloaded IDFixer from the marketplace for free the only program that reads the née artist info is the Acer Media app. Hopefully Google will update their app to fix this.
So,
I transferred my itunes playlists all ok to my phone.
But I wanted to transfer all my Windows media Playlists as well as I have a large number on their and didn't want to spend hours re doing them all on itunes.
So I did the sync from WMP to my S4 and that went through ok, however none of my WMP playlists show up on Google Music Player / PowerAmp etc.
The only music app that is showing the playlists ok is Samsungs own Music Player App.
Does anyone know how I can get the playlists to show up elesewhere like the itunes ones do in the other apps?
Thanks
