how do you get them to show up in the music taag on TF3D and videos on the camera tag
thanks for any help
music normally gets scanned by HTC's music player integrated into TF3D. If it doesn't, I suggest using playlist manager application to import playlists. As for pictures and videos, they normally need to appear in Storage Card/DCIM/101Media.
Oh just for reference, I put my music in the Storage Card/My Documents/My Music folder.
can a specific directory for music be set in the stock player?
I can't find an option and the result is that directories that have audio files (eg /dictaphone) are appearing as albums - even though the player than can't even read the format. Very annoying having to thumb through a lot of irrelevant directories. I want it to look for music in a single directory rather than the device as a whole.
Thanks, M1
i'd like to see this tweak too!!! i have my music organized into one folder. i don't want all the other sounds from programs or games or anything.
a solution is the .nomedia file put into those folders but it's time consuming if you have many folders

My audio book files are appearing as albums in the HTC music player.
I tried the .nomedia trick, but then the audio book files became invisible to the audio book player as well
another case of the usability thinking being skin deep I'm afraid.

Simple, name one catalog "Music" put some music inside, unmount SD, run music player, mount SD. Player will search music only in this catalog.

You can do that or get a music player which allows you to select music from only a single folder in which you can put all your music. Hope this helps
with my other androids, (MyTouch 4g, One S, One X)
I open iTunes and my Phone/Internal/SDcard
and would just highlight the songs in iTunes and drag over to Phone Storage.
Here with the GS3 I get a (\) Not Available sign and it wont go through.
What am I missing here?
I don't know about iTunes (I stopped using it), but I was able to just open the SD card folder and the folder with the music and was able to copy and paste that way.

I'm assuming you have a google account, if you do you can upload your entire itunes library to google music using your desktop computer and then you have access to your library with your phone. If you don't want to use cloud-based, just find your itunes folder on your computer and transfer those songs to your sd card. IMO the google music is the easiest way to do it and it doesn't take up storage space on your phone.

You can also flag artists, playlists, tracks, etc etc to be downloaded and kept local through google music as well

You don't iTunes to do the job of transfering your music to your phone. The galaxy s3 storage type is a different kind of type than previous devices, its mpti or something similar to that i believe so it doesn't mount like an sd card it mounts like some device which windows recognizes.
Why don't you just browse to your music directory and just open up your my computer Sg3 device then select either internal or external storage and drag your music files from your local music folder to your galaxy s3 sd card or internal storage.
To get your music into itunes in the first place you must have dragged your music into itunes or imported your music from your local pc music folder so therefore you can do the same thing for the gs3, drag your music from your local folder to your gs3 device. itunes is for iphones its crappy.
Make a new folder on your desktop, drag the files from iTunes to that folder, then from that folder to your gs3. Just gotta add that extra step.
Osman, iTunes organizes the music into folders by artist then by album so doing it that way would take A LOT of time.
Good question, I've always sort of wanted to grab some of my older music from iTunes. You're right though, Apple does suck a hard one!

Get doubletwist. And download one for PC too. Whatever is in your itunes will show up in doubletwist. Then you can air sync your music (paid addon) or usb

You could always use the official software Samsung Kies which fully supports importing music from iTunes and transfering music to the device as well as backing the device up.
You could use a script.
I found one that syncs a playlist to a folder. I just have all the songs i want on my phone in a playlist and it syncs right to my music folder when connected.
Although i store my music on my external SD card..
This is probably a silly question, but does anyone know a good way to transfer playlists from S5 to S7 Active? When I got my new phone everything seemed to transfer ok EXCEPT the playlists. The music moved over (on the SD card), contacts, etc., but not the playlists that took me so long to build. Thanks in advance for any info.

Your music playlist? depends on the music app youre using. Some apps save the playlist in a .M3U file, like your mp3 playlist on your PC, so use a good file browser like solid browser, es browser, etc. and search for *.m3u and copy that to your SD card or otg pen drive.
Your music app, might have a save-as menu item, should allow to save the current playlist to SD card.
