[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
I need to know what/how people are syncing their music with their phones. I purchased MediaMonkey for me and my gf (we both have I777) and was able to sync my playlist in MediaMonkey to the phone. However, I messed up the playlist. I added a file to the root of the external SD card called '.isaudioplayer' and that caused the m3u file to have incorrect paths. When I viewed the m3u file in a text editor on the phone, It said F:/Music/yadda. Obviously, F: is wrong. How are your playlists listed? Thanks for the assistance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
have you thought about using google music? No need to sync your music at all. Just stream from the app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
+1 on google music, I use it every day and love it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
I have Google Music. I don't like it. The Android app sucks. I tell it to only play local music, and it plays online music anyway. The app won't reload it's list of music (after an upload to the SD card). I have to reboot the phone to get the app to see the new music. I have uploaded my library to Google Music, but I wasn't finished tagging the library correctly. So basically, I need to finish tagging the library correctly, erase everything on Google Music, and then re-upload. Then create playlists. Not to mention the fact, that I have MythTV at home to play music in my living room, and Subsonic to stream music to the phone/work desktop. I hate having to create playlists. That's the worst thing in the world. If Google actually created/released APIs for Google music, then MediaMonkey/MythTV could integrate (not to mention the really cool CM9 inspired new Music app out there).

I also received a message from AT&T telling me I was in the top 5% of users this month. I find that completely unbelievable. I only stream music for ~20 minutes a day. Be it from home via Subsonic, or Google Music. So having it local helps. Not to mention the GF is on my plan now, but we only gave her 2GBs. That will just be eaten up by Google Music.

But the biggest issue is I want the music on my phone because when I hit the fitness room in the basement of my office, I get 0 WLAN bars and 0 3G bars. So I need local music. GF also has the issue of signal strength where she goes.

Does anyone have a playlist.m3u file I could look at to see the proper format of the file? Also, is there anyone else like me out there that actually puts music on their phones now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avidmovies:
I tried media monkey, but ultimately it didn't work out for me. What I ended up doing was using winamp on the computer to sync my music and playlists to my phone, actually my SD card. I lose the ability to do wireless sync, but I like keeping all of my music on the external memory. Also, I didn't really like the winamp for android, so I switched to using playerpro. The playlists and everything work out very nicely, and they stay in sync.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nasapunk88:
iSyncr or doubleTwist Airsync i'd suggest looking into. They are probably the top of the list aside from Google Music.

I've been using doubleTwist and it is everything i could need however it comes with a whole new Media Program to install (stills syncs with iTunes though).

iSyncr is nice if you only want to use iTunes because it's basically an "addon" and this way you don't need a whole new media managing program.

Google Music is very basic and simple. You might as well get it anyways as a backup but I don't personally like the app/online management of music; it is just too difficult to edit files. However if you want to go this route you can get Google Music Importer which will let you save the music you pin for offline mode from within the android app to be used in other music app's (otherwise you are forced with always using the Google Music app to play the music from online).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jhermit:
Tried iSync and doubletwist and settled on iSync. so I keep my music on itunes and just sync with the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MaxRabbit:
I used iSyncr for a while, worked great, but I hated being tied down to iTunes. Bought MediaMonkey and, after some configs, I love it.

I have it set so that songs are:

/sdcard/MediaMonkey/Music/songs

And playlists:

/sdcard/MediaMonkey/Music/playlists

And I have the playlists to have relative paths, so drive letters don't matter.

PlayerPro works just fine with this setup. So does PowerAMP.

Here's my device config XML, just import in MediaMonkey if you like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
Syncing? What's that?

I just copy everything I want to listen to, to /my_music on the internal storage.

Edit: I don't use playlists either, blegh.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
Thanks for the suggestions all. We are trying to move away from iTunes at home. The fact is that iTunes on Windows doesn't support FLAC audio. It does on OS X, but I'm not going that route. I guess I just deal with the faults of MediaMonkey. But really, if anyone can just attach their m3u file that WORKS on the Android phone, then I'd be grateful. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avidmovies:
I will upload a few sample m3u files when I get onto a computer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MaxRabbit:
I linked you how to get MediaMonkey working perfectly for sync...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] amnigo:
I use MediaMonkey. I have 40K+ songs to choose from to sync to a 32GB card, so I select a few playlists of select songs to fill it up. Auto-syncs every time I plug the MicroSD card into the computer (I hate having to shut the phone off, but I found syncing to be faster when the card is directly plugged in versus plugging the phone in).

No problems here. Syncing is fast and never have any issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dalhectar:
I use iSyncr. Support for iTunes Smart playlist is a must for how I manage a series of ever changing playlists. Because it also maintains the correct smart playlist order (something that Apple messed up with iTunes 10.5/iOS5 on my iPod Touch) it syncs music better than iTunes does for my iPod.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
Well I finally got this working. I found out that simply RIGHT clicking on a playlist, and telling it to sync to the mounted I777 will sync the music in that playlist, but NOT the actual playlist. Pretty crappy design in my opinion.

I figured it out last night. In Media Monkey, go to your device you want to sync. In the AUTO-SYNC tab, click on the playlists in the left pane of the device window. Then choose the playlists you want to auto-sync. Then go to the OPTIONS tab in that same device window, and tell it to "Create Playlists for:" and choose "Synced Playlists" (I'm not in front of MM now, but it's something like that option). Then tell it to use relative paths, and to swap the "\" for the "/". Done and done. PITA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MaxRabbit:
I don't know why you chose to ignore my post with the MediaMonkey configuration that had all of that work done...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
I left work early, and didn't see it. Sorry. I really appreciate you posting it though!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MaxRabbit:
Okay. Welcome!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xavierpunkreno:
Google Music's online streaming uses A LOT of data. Even for 20 minutes worth. GM single handedly made me go over my data. They need to fix that. The only way around it is making songs available offline.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nasapunk88:
Music streaming from google music is the same as everything else. A song is roughly 6mb, 20 minutes would be around 30mb downloaded. It does take an extreme about of data usage and other then uploading lower quality songs not much will change it. Make sure you don't have "download high quality"option in settings checked.

You can also pin songs to keep them usable offline.

Depending on how the app works, HTC should be pretty easy. If you're just using provxml, you can do that on HTC too (though stock ROMs have a very restrictive set of provxml that apps are allowed to do).

Bug

Your black and red theme has a bug. If you make a call start multi-tasking you'll have a bar appear at the top of the screen telling you you still have a call and to tap to expand. With the black and red theme it just shows a huge red bar, also on the keypad anything you click will just show a red box instead of the words like, "end call".

If you do a search on "Samsung gen2" (I think that's it), you'll find a test app I wrote a couple months back that provides and attempts to use the gen2 driver API.

If you can figure out how to defeat that, a lot of Samsung users would be very happy!

For example, i choose gray with orange font! after reboot the background is still black and the fontcolor doesn't change. in the applist, the shifts (a,b,c,d) has a gray background. Nothing more happens! So i had to correct manually the values in registry.
