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.

    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.

      I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.

      Regarding the AI photo, I LOVE AI in that regard, you ask it what you want and it gives you a lovey photo in under a minute, that would taken me an hour to make in photoshop and it wouldn't have looked nearly as good. 2 nights ago I spent a couple hours collaborating with AI.  I did not say write me an article. I would write one or 2  paragraphs, then I would ask it to clean it up so it read better but still keeps the information I was trying to convey.  Rinse repeat.
