DrJohnSmitherson Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hey all so I just got an S3. Came from iOS and I don't know if it's me, but whenever I load a playlist on my phone it's slow to load the list of playlists then it's even slower to load a playlist. I want to smash my phone to a thousand pieces! On iOS it's so fast! Is there something I can do to fix this? I can't believe it so god damn slow. What software should I use to sync playlists? I am using WMP but the playlist is not in order on my phone. Anything like iTunes? I tried DoubleTwist but I cannot attach my S3 as Mass Storage.

Probably not to big of an issue with the phone...just have to get used to Android and the apps you will need. As for Doubletwist, from what I seen there is an issue and they are working on a fix. Probably shouldnt be to long until an update is released. Heard currently Air Sync is the only way to sync iTunes at the moment and is made by the same company as doubletwist. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doubleTwist.androidPlayerProKey&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open Minded Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I know you can use winamp to sync your playlist. I'm not sure if you can import a WMP playlist into winamp, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techbeck Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'm using "Music Player" That a Samsung App? Try Winamp and use their playlists and see if that works any better for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is so god damn difficult to get music on this phone? Free version of Winamp on mobile has very limited features. This could be your problem. So either pay for this, or the full version of Airsync and give that a try. Only a few bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJohnSmitherson Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jesus this is such a hassle. I can't believe this honestly. How is there not a standard music app and standard software to sync it?????? And do it all easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixedcat Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 mount as a drive>make Music dir in main dir (Hint:make a good directory structure and make your playlists into folders for added ease) then get Amok Playlist Copy Export playlist made in WMP or other media software Then use Amok to import playlist: add>add playlist>browse to playlist's location and add copy/save>copy files and playlist>browse to SD card's location and upload to SD card, be sure to name your new playlist to be the same as on WMP and now completed. I use Realplayer for everything on my phone (however I use jriver media jukebox for my desktop music player) becuase my phone's space is low. It works pretty good.

DrJohnSmitherson Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 I will give that a try remiaxedcat but I want to try this first I tried syncing one song but real player and amazon player says it's info. is unknown. When i look at the details of the song in the properties windows on Win7 all the info is there. What should I do to make that info appear in these music players?

remixedcat Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I don't like "syncing" files because it's touchy and if a media player locks up while it does it sometimes the SD card goes ape. or sometimes the destination media player on the device can't read the playlist for some odd forsaken reason. ran into that too much so that's how I do it as listed above. Normally software transfers the files, then the playlist... and normally it screws up at the end... and that's when it messes with the playlist. I would get tag fixing software. I use J-River media jukebox it has built in tag editor that's really good so I don't need external software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anibal P Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Have you tried Samsung Kies? Yes I know, you aren't used to having options and it's all a bit much, but once you find a setup that works you will be set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remixedcat Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 You're welcome ^_^ Glad to help what rustles my jimmies is that MS removed the tag editor in WMP12!!!! why? That was fail. Good thing I stopped using WMP and went to JRMJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that's why I prefer the manual way. Having a "middle man" causes unnecessary problems, such as info being removed, album art being removed, etc. remixedcat 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
