Coming from an iPhone, pardon my ignorance. I loaded my SD card with my iTunes music by copying from iTunes library on my Mac to my SD card via "Android File Transfer" on my Mac. Now, none of my music playing apps can see my music. This includes Google Play, Samsung's player, and Amazon Prime's player.
Do I need to install a different app? Any trick I'm missing?
Thanks

I currently have all of my music (15,000+ songs) set up for use with Itunes/iPod. I would like to try to use Windows Media Player with the HD2. However, I am concerned about letting Media Player access my files that are currently cataloged in iTunes.
1. Can I set up Media Player so that it accesses the mp3 and m4a files but doesn't copy or move the files from the iTunes folder?
2. If I add the music to the Media Player system, can I rate the music in the Media Player without changing or disrupting the music files themselves?
3. Can Media Player playlists be created without disrupting the iTunes system?
If you currently are using Media Player/HTC Player AND iTunes/iPod successfully, can you tell me if there are any issues that need dealing with? Up until now I've been manually copying music to the HD2. Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of corruption issue if I delete files that I've added to playlists from within the HD2 Player. I'm assuming that using Media Player to create lists is easier and more secure than creating lists from manually copied files.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

The easiest way I recommend which I my self did is Find your Itunes library on your computer copy it to your HD2's storage Card and from there do whatever you like.

From my original post: "Up until now I've been manually copying music to the HD2. Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of corruption issue if I delete files that I've added to playlists from within the HD2 Player."
As far as I know you should delete songs from the folder that you have your music in it usually on your storage card that should not be any problem,another way is that you use the ActiveSync to sync your music files from your computer to your device,in this way whenever you add or delete a music file on your PC it will be automaticaly synced to your Phone,this sure is the better way.
I have about 20GB of music in my iTune. Now just realised that my Samsung Galaxy S internal storage is too small for that. Therefore I think it must be stored on external storage card.
I've just downloaded a program called doubletwist. I have a few questions:
1) How do I turn on mass storage mode on SGS so that doubletwist can see it?
2) How do I tell doubletwist that I want the music to go to storage card instead of internal storage?
3) Has anyone of you experience problem when music is on storage card, such as skipping of part of songs?
4) Is it a better idea to scale down my music collection so that it fits into internal memory?
TIA.
Just wondering, can't you just copy the music files into a folder you call, let's say, music on your SD card, and start up the samsung music player? It'll recognize the files and let you play them.
Or is there any special reason for you to use DoubleTwist?

I might be wrong, I want the iTune rating, playlist, and artwork to be synced as well. Will your method work?
Hey guys, I have been using real player for a whole and i love the UI. I love having an app that I can play music and videos from the same app. The problem is, My playlists are not showing up with real player. I am using sailing media sync to sync my itunes playlists. (I have an apple TV and use itunes to play my movies on my TV) I have tried exporting my playlists onto my SD card and also onto the internal storage. I have wiped and reset. I have honestly donr just about everything short of creating my playlists directly on my tablet. I am trying to avoid doing this.
PLEASE HELP!
I have a 64gig micro SD card and placed music and movie files on there. For a day it worked fine..I was able to play music via samsungs music player and PlayerPro app. Now for whatever reason my phone does not see mp3 on my microSD card. I can still however play movies from my sdcard. Anyone have a similar experience?
I don't think the card is going bad as I can still play movies from it. I think it might be a setting issue.
Quick update. I can navigate to my SD card using My Files app and play the files but the stock music player or 3rd party music player cannot view the files.
Ended up reformatting and restoring sd card. Its a bit annoying since the phone was able to read the sd card still.. just the apps was not able to see whats on there.
I've read a few threads here, but cannot find an answer.
Is there any way for Google Play on my S8 to play my music off my sd card? I have about 80gb stored on my sd card, and don't want to load it into the phone.
If not, is there any music player app that does? I've been reading so many blogs/threads with no joy! Thanks
Using Samsung Music for playing from SD card without issues.
as above or my personal favourite player is "PlayerPro" just make playlists from your SD card contents
Play music plays off the SD card on my device. I have it set to downloaded only.
