Hi All,
I just got my P10 plus yesterday and so far it's working really well. Most of the bloatware was easy to remove and even with what's left I still have 30 less programs than my Galaxy Note 4. Right now though, I am trying to transfer my itunes music over with little success. I have used iSyncr religiously over the last 3 phones, but it does not work well with the P10 at all.
How do I get the music on to the phone? I could just copy and paste the files manually, but will I lose all of the playlists and tags?
Any help would be appreciated!
Edit: Figured it out - was able to manually copy over the music and playlists using the HiSuite software!

Hi, I have a rooted mytouch running SuperD 1.8 (fried donut) and love it, I have had basically no problems doing anything I wanted. However I recently tried to add music using doubletwist. It synched perfectly and after I tried to open the music app, the songs did not show up. Using AndExplorer I saw that the .mp3 files are all there, with normal looking names except they all have 00- designations on the front of every music file. However when I click on them from AndExplorer they will play in some music player (I am unsure if it is the mytouch music app or some AndExplorer equivalent) perfectly, but the name and album cover art, none of the tags, are displayed. Its not like they show up as unnamed, they simply do not show up in the music app at all. I tried using mixing and other third party music apps from the market, and they did not show the music files either. Again, there seems to be no problem with getting the files onto my flash drive (class 6 8 gigs) and I think it might be a tagging issue. If it is, how would I correct that? I tried to manually change the names of every file i imported but it did nothing.
If there is anymore information needed please let me know, and thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully answer my question. Thank you, and sorry if a similar question has been posted elsewhere. If so a link would be much appreciated.

download "mediamonkey" (for your computer) and try to tag your music witch it
Ok so I've spent over 4 hours trying to find a way to move my music from iTunes to my HTC HD2 with album covers and all...no luck... why in the hell is it so difficult just to put music on your phone...All my songs are mp3's and they still won't go on properly...I tried just dragging them to the music folder through My Computer. I tried using double twists software I downloaded from the phone and I tried the one from the official website.
This is ridiculous considering that my old ass samsung flip phone can sync all my music in just 35 minutes with everything i expect. So much for the Entertainment phone...I would really appreciate if someone can help me out with this before I go on this road trip...
I also tried the music from My Music instead f iTunes and same problem...I have all the songs on the phone but they won't play. Does anyone also know why when your in the Windows Media Player all of your GAME sounds and videos and just random sounds appear if its suppose to be a music player... i am disappointed in this damn phone everything is great except the music players...
Personally, I keep all my music very organised on an external hard drive at home. On there, they are all stored in the folder structure X:\Music\Artist\Album\nn Song Title.mp3. I also have album art for each of them as folder.jpg in the album folder. I'm a bit of a pedant, but keeping it tidy has proved to be a godsend no end of times!
When I want to copy something to my phone, I usually make a temp folder on my desktop so that I can keep the folder structure intact inside that, and copy the albums I want, into their respective artist folders - Desktop\Temp Music Folder\Artist\Album.
Once I've copied everything there, I connect my phone to my PC with the USB cable, and I select "Disk Drive" as the connection type.
Then I simply open my phone's storage card in windows explorer, open the music folder on there (that's obviously already there as I've got loads of music on there already), and I copy the contents of the temp folder on my desktop into that folder.
It's really simple, and it works 100% of the time.
I've seen no end of threads where people are using different software for synching & tagging mp3s, or trying to put mp3s in weird folder structures (or even all of them in 1 folder!!!) and I just don't see why you'd bother.
This method has worked flawlessly for me on a Nokia N95, Touch Diamond, Touch HD and HD2.
Hope this helps mate
PS. I'll ask a mod to delete the other thread for you.

Hello, I connected my Note to the Mac using a USB cable. Then, I used doubleTwrist to copy the music files to the Note. After the transfer, my music files got all messed up. (Perhaps I did not do a good job in organizing the files under iTunes right at the beginning.) I want to do a fresh start. Could you please let me know the following:
1. What is the best way to delete all the music files from my Note?
There are hundreds of them. I do want to keep the good music files
originally installed by Samsung.
2. Is doubleTwrist actually the best app to transfer music files from the Mac to the Note? What other suggestions do you have?
3. In order to avoid messing up the files again, should I just copy the playlist?
I am not familiar with iTunes also. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
Thought I'd post this in case it might help someone. I just switched from an iphone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 and am having a fun time (read: ***** of a time) transferring my stuff over. After a lot of reading, I found a way to move my iphone music including playlists over to the new phone.
Here was my situation - I had a bunch of mp3s and playlists on my iphone that were not synced to itunes, and if you know how that works, if you try to sync your phone to the itunes library, what happens is that whatever is on your phone gets erased and overwritten with your music library in itunes.
I looked online for a simple step by step solution but instead of finding one, I found a bunch of different piecemeal solutions that only took care of some of my problems and did not have the entire process from start to finish so I had to devise my own way using bits and pieces of other solutions. Here's what I did:
btw, all apps I used were free.
1. Install and run Sharepod on your PC. This program will export the music and playlists on your iphone to your PC. You want to choose the Backup Ipod option and then create a folder on your PC to store the music files. Also, you want to make sure you check the Import my music to Itunes box. This will add all of the files and playlists to your itunes library.
2. Install an app called easy phone tunes on your phone.
3. Install the PC component of easy phone tunes on your PC.
4. Run the app on your phone and follow the prompts.
5. Run the program on your PC and follow the prompts.
6. Sit back and relax while all of your music and all of your playlists are transferred over.
Very simple, very easy, and worked great for me. Hope it helps someone.
Another method you can use is DoubleTwist(free in the market). It sync's from iTunes
I create a playlist in iTunes on my PC just for my phone. Installed DoubleTwist on my PC, and my phone, tell DoubleTwist which playlist to sync, and it does the rest

+1 for DoubleTwist!
I use the wireless version, which is a little silly since I am sitting in front of my PC when I sync.
The only complaint that I have with DoubleTwist (player) is that it doesn't work with my BT headphone controls. Still looking for a solution there but for the synch, it is great!
Try tool's and transfer all your music from your iPhone to your an android phone

Why not use Samsung Kies software? Not only does it transfer itunes it can even read your iPhone backup file and transfer your text, email, sms, pics, etc. Works very well.

I looked at Kies but didn't see an option to transfer sms/texts to the S3.
Oh god, I have nothing but bad things to say about DoubleTwist. It has duplicated my music, erased my playlists, and locked up my computer multiple times. My advice would be to avoid it.
I used Easy Phone Tunes. It's a variant of the utility Samsung put out a few weeks ago to help iTunes users sync their stuff to their new Galaxy easily. It's pretty simple. Plus the developers emailed me back within 2 hours. I didn't think I'd get a response at all.
Hey guys
I tried a couple of app's and options to sync the music I have ('normal' mp3's and 'normal' m3u's) with my phone - I was max half successful until now.
May I ask you how you do that? And please don't tell me spotify, google music or something like that
Thanks a lot
Oli
I use MediaMonkey. Syncs iOS as well.
If you're coming from iOS, or just using iTunes to manage your tunes, look into iSyncr - I used it for quite a while on Windows before I abandoned and moved to Linux.
I kept a couple playlists built in iTunes and had them set to sync to my phone, made things easy to deal with.
I haven't finished figuring out as good a situation on Linux yet. Too lazy. ;^)
Thanks guys, Mediamonkey Sync worked now, at least a bit - but there are still all the 'old' Playlists I had on the phone for some tests, and MediaMonkey does not delete them even if they are not around anymore. Do you have a idea or can I delete the library somehow?
