S3 Media Player slowww / Sync help


Recommended Posts

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.

What program are you using on your phone?

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.

I'm using "Music Player"

So Im using winamp on my pc and phone. And I synced a playlist but the songs aren't in order and not even all the songs are here. 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.

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.

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?

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.

Syncing with anything/everything was bad. Moving my songs and playlist manually did the trick! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

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.

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.

    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
