I started using Winamp when i got my S3 and it was always kind of annoying but i dealt with it. Now its ****ing me the **** off. It is having trouble recognizing my extra SD card where i have been putting my music. Also, sometimes it wont even recognize my phone. But usually once it recognizes my device it shows both the S3 Phone and the S3 SD card. Why is it not recognizing my SD card?

Is there a better music player I should use that can also easily transfer all my itunes and itunes playlists so i do not need to re make them and re upload all my music into the library and organize it? I am not good with all this itunes mp3 stuff so i really do need the easiest thing that can convert itunes to something that can go on the S3.

I've never synced my whole music library to a phone myself, but lots of people recommend DoubleTwist as an iTunes replacement for Android.

I personally use Google Play Music which allows me to stream any song from my whole library as well as playlists on my PC, but I'm not sure how it handles iTunes playlists as I don't own any iOS devices.

I'm sure others here can give you a better answer.

I don't even bother with software.

It's easy to just plug phone into computer, or connect with Bluetooth, either way you then just open up the phones folder, and the copy and past music from your music folder on computer to the folder on the phone. Works for me using all phones I've had. The phones music app will load the music no matter what.

I guess I should have stated the folder that is the sd card. or the folder of built in memory on the phone, either or. I go with sd card.

This. Not sure why people insist on using software to do such trivial things. All they do is complicate a process that's stupid easy. You open a folder, copy/move from a computer to the phone (another folder, literally). When you want to play off the phone, plug in a speaker/headphones or open the phone in a folder and play. *shrug*

is that really possible if i just got it this past november and i can still play the music on my phone that is on the SD card?

Absolutely.

For instance, there were several defective 32GB and 64GB Sandisk cards a short while ago. Some of them didn't show any issues until they were used in an S3 interestingly enough.

I didn't think I'd ever like streaming my library, but I actually love Google Play Music.... it'll automatically upload all your songs, and then on your device - with 4G speeds, you can stream it at the highest quality. Also, it automatically caches/stores what you play often, and you can choose what you want to be saved to your device....

Has been working really well for me! ... hope this helps!

I second the Google Music. Its free up to 20,000 songs!!!! Plus it works really well. They just started doing automatic playlist. That really helped me. I have 10,000 songs and some are over looked by me. Those playlists have helped me get more out of what I have and its automatic.

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.

      It's good for recycling of course. But commence inflation of a second hand RAM bubble and price gouging on DDR 4 inventory in 3... 2... 1...

      Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware by Sayan Sen When Windows 11 was first released, one of the most complained-about issues with the new desktop Microsoft OS was its higher system requirements, which pushed many relatively modern and powerful processors and devices onto the officially unsupported list. Thankfully, they have not been updated again for the base OS, though systems require four times the memory and storage if they want to run AI-powered apps and features. As such, Windows 11 technically runs on 4GB of memory, and there is no imposed restriction on the generation of memory it supports. Speaking of memory, prices are extremely high nowadays for hardware, especially DDR5 and DDR4 kits due to the current silicon shortage, and there are also reports of it affecting DDR2 as well, and it might only be a matter of time before even DDR1 gets affected. Before that could happen, an enthusiast took an ancient DDR1-based system and decided to try out Windows 11 on it to see how well the modern OS would fare on such hardware. The system runs an outdated graphics card interface standard based on AGP, or Advanced Graphics Port, called AGP 3.0 or AGP8x. AGP was essentially succeeded by the modern PCI Express (PCIe) bus standard. The user behind the experiment is retro hardware enthusiast Omores, who built the system around an ASRock ConRoe865PE motherboard based on Intel's i865PE chipset from way back in 2003, around the time when AGP was still in fashion. What made this board special back in the day was its unusual support for newer Core 2 Duo and even Core 2 Quad processors while still retaining older DDR1 memory support and an AGP8X graphics slot, making it an ideal bridge or link between two vastly different generations. Powering the machine was Intel's Core 2 Quad Q6600 alongside 3GB of DDR1 RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 4650 AGP graphics card, one of the final and most capable GPUs released for the aging AGP interface. While installing Windows 11 itself was relatively easy by bypassing Microsoft's hardware checks, getting the graphics card fully functional proved to be some challenge. Microsoft had quietly dropped native AGP support after the earliest releases of Windows 10, meaning newer versions of Windows no longer include the necessary Graphics Address Remapping Table (GART) drivers required for proper AGP acceleration. Without them, AGP graphics cards typically boot up, though with limited functionality, and can often throw a Code 43 error in Device Manager. To work around the limitation, Omores extracted Intel's legacy AGP440 SYS driver from an early Windows 10 release and paired it with a modified INF file so Windows 11 would correctly recognize the chipset. Following this and combined with AMD's final 64-bit Catalyst AGP drivers from 2012, the Radeon HD 4650 was able to operate with full AGP 8X acceleration intact. The result was said to be surprisingly usable for hardware that is over two decades old. Hardware-accelerated H.264 video playback worked correctly and benefited apps like Firefox, while legacy applications and games ran without major graphical issues. The system also successfully completed the 3DMark 2001 benchmark, although performance naturally lagged behind what the same hardware achieves under Windows 7, which is significantly lighter than Windows 11. There was, however, one unavoidable limitation as Microsoft's Windows 11 version 24H2 introduces a mandatory SSE4.2 CPU instruction requirement that cannot be bypassed through installer modifications or registry tweaks. Since no AGP-era processor supports SSE4.2, Windows 11 version 23H2 effectively becomes the final release capable of running on such systems. Regardless, it is still a very cool feat and quite fascinating to see just how stable Windows 11 turned out to be on such unfamiliar hardware. Source: Omores (Patreon) via O_MORES (Reddit)

      That will only really help other players that are also responsible for creating the problem.

      Well, it's good to know that they have found a workaround to a problem that they helped create, I guess...
