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.

      How can it beat a Steam machine without a serious GPU? The two CU iGPU only provides about 5fps in gaming. That's not going to make any gamer happy.
    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.

On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing.

      "lets you pause updates by choosing an end date, for up to 35 days" Wasn't it "indefinitely"?
