Hi,
Does anyone have a work around to get MTP to work with the Epic? It really sucks how I can easily sync my drm music from the zune marketplace on my old touchpro and not the EPIC. I know it's been disabled by sprint and works on all the other galaxy phones. I'm wondering how difficult this is to reenable?
Thanks....
Just to bump
I'm replying to bump this back up. I too would like to find a way to easily sync my phone. Specifically with WMP. Seems from what I've read that if MTP was available, it would work fairly easily. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm not sure what you guys are trying to do, but when connected, the phone will show up similar to a media player or flashdrive in WMP. From there, you can add anything you want to the list, press sync, and watch as WMP loads your music onto your SD card, under a folder called Music, within their respective Artist and album folders complete with album art and info.
That's all I do.

My phone doesn't show up. Do you have an Epic 4G on Sprint? MTP was stripped out or disabled (in the stock ROM anyway) and our phones are not media devices that can sync with WMP.

It shows up like a flashdrive in my WMP on Windows 7 x32 and x64. However, I have no idea if this is a good enough method for DRM music, as I have made it a point to avoid any and all DRM files.
Obviously I'm on Sprint. And this worked for me before, and after I was stock. Although all it's really doing is copying files, which I could just as easily do manually, albeit, without being able to easily just sync playlists.

Hey guys,
tried to find some other thread about this topic but didn't find anything related. i have also googled it and nothing came up, or at least useful.
thing is: considering that today many computer media players such as itunes, winamp and even ms's windows media player itself have builtin media sharing capabilities for videogame consoles (wii, psp, ps3, xbox) and nokia mobile phones (NSeries)... is this really possible that there's no application for windows mobile capable of doing the same?
if so, please post their names, i'm sure some other folks might be after this too. otherwise, guys give me a hand with creativity to work around efficiently. to get that the user should be able to access library, play and skip tracks as long as they are in the same wi-fi network.
lol is it that too much?
Not too much to ask really, and it has been answered if you did a little search. Depends on what ROM you use, what file explorer you use etc .. but if you follow this post you should be fine. Works for me!
If ya use Resco Explorer as file manager, network shares can be viewed from WLAN.

Totally!! Same here man!!
Yep, you can also install the Network Plugin, map the drives and add the files into your media player.
You can also run videos from the network without problems, just make sure you have the codecs.
you see... that's what i'm talking about, accessing files on a shared folder is easy, i could even install IIS on my computer and then access files via HTTP on a home network but this is not worth.
media sharing is the answer cause the library updates itself automatically cause that's all it's need. on a tap you have all your songs, videos and pictures just as if they were there. and the best of all, just one single application.
working with shared folders is always a pain and you have to open various applications to get the things done...
a media player that would automatically scan shared folders could be an option...
Yeah, it is possible.
If you run Network Plugin, find the shared folder with your music and map it.
You can go to (in my case, Pocket Music), go to options then Load, and there you can specify what folder(s) will be the ones that will come up as a playlist, in this case, your shared folder with music.
So everytime you open Pocket Music, the files that are stored on your pc's music folder, will display on your media player.
And you will play them without problem.

I know what you mean about running a media server. I do this with media player 11, and access it from my xbox and roku soundbridge. I don't know of any ppc software which will access the media server though.
I should imagine that an audio player which scanned shared folders to build a library would take some time to scan my 18000 tracks on my pc.

that's exactly what i think. i have an xbox original converted in media centre that takes ages to scan my entire library, i wonder what would be using a shared folder in my phone and i have just over 3000 tracks.
i'm waiting to get a wireless router to start playing with it, the tests i tried to run using an ad-hoc connection were all a pain in the butt...
well, let's see... still open for ideas.
hey guys
a total noob question . i got micro SD card for the TP2 and put the music in there using the device center ( using the sync function to put the music in the micro SD card). all the music files shows in the media player on the cell phone and runs too, but i can get anything on the Music Tab of th TouchFlow its saying No Music Found
am i missing something or doing something wrong :S
Did You perform a soft reset?
My experience of loading up 3 gig's worth of music onto the microSD card in my Kaiser (I use the stock WMplayer btw) was that NOTHING showed up in media player until I had manually updated the players library. Once that had been done, all songs could then be selected or indeed played with the player or using MSVC for 'ooohs' from friends. I would guess theres a similar library/scanning function in the HTC supplied media player if you use that, but dont have a clue where!
hope this helps

i'm having the same problem. only 3 albums out of 50 or so appear in the tf3d tab even though all are in the windows media app
hmm, i think i mightve figured it out. the tab only shows whats "currently playing," ie the current playlist. all of my songs show up when i touch "library." i think i'll be trying out some other media players, this is kind of cumbersome
IT guy but Android noob here and although I love the ATT s3, I hate to say I miss the iPhone when it comes to managing music. As much as I am against computers and pones as appliances, it just works in apple world. I am struggling with managing and loading music. Currently on rc9 of liquidsmooth rom based on 4.1.2.
Music monkey will not transfer to the sd card on windows 7 64bit and kies will simply not see the phone. Does not matter if I am in USB debug or not. Media monkey acts odd in that it sometimes sees the internal storage as external and vice versa. Mostly though it just fails to copy music over to the sd as if it does not have permission to write. Checked permissions in the platform.xml file and all is well and correct. I simply want to transfer music with playlists built and I am struggling. Am I dealing with a jelly bean issue or is it due to custom rom?
Any advice is greatly appreciated or an alternative procedure.
Thanks

Get Astro or root explorer. To transfer within the phone.
If you are having connectivity issues with your pc...get a free drop box account...or two. Upload your music and download with your phone. Easy.
Am I the only one in the world that just does drag-and-drop in windows explorer to manage my music? Never had a problem with it and I have 70+GB of music. iTunes is so overrated.
I have always just copied music into a "Music" folder on SD card. Like manske90 said above me just drag and drop with windows explorer. If you have your music organized in itunes and want to stick with itunes there are a couple options I have found helpful. You can make a music folder on the desktop and drag the songs you want from itunes itself into there (which will just make copies of the files) and clean out the folder afterwards. Or you can figure out what music you want in itunes right click the song and choose "open in explorer" and copy/paste to the SD card. There also seems to be a few stand alone applications if you google around, but I personally have never used any of them. Best of luck!
Have you tried Easy Phone Sync? It uses your itunes library to sync music onto android devices. You can sync the whole library or just certain playlists. It also lets you choose where you want the songs to be copied to ie internal memory or sd card.
http://easyphonesync.com/en/itunes/index.html
This is the link to the desktop application and then you just need to download easy phone sync from the play store in order for the desktop application to make contact with your phone. Also it's absolutely free.

Thanks for the replies folks...I really don't want this to be a two step process (copy to phone and use a file manager on the phone to move the music again) and honestly it should not be this hard to move music.
This is intensely frustrating....just connected a non rooted, Tmobile S3 with stock 4.1.1 ROM and it will allow me to write to the SD card on that device with no trouble, from Media Monkey....makes no sense whatsoever especially since the permissions appear to be correct for the Rooted problem phone. it very much appears to be a permissions issue....

Isyncr. It uses iTunes and tranfers music, playlists...etc. it is flawless. You won't be sorry.

I mean this is ridiculous that a top tier phone is so difficult (impossible) to sync playlists on, I am also pretty knowledgable regarding digital music, phones, and computers and still cannot get this working after months. Using MTP i can occasionally get ONE playlist to sync using winamp but when i try to do more it will erase the other ones or clear them out. I then got an app that puts my external SD card ino mass storage mode and that almost works but after adding about 20 songs to a playlist only 5 or so actually showed up. Doubletwist does not work. Windows Media player did not work. Using Kies it puts the songs on my phone but not the playlists.
If anybody can actually do this please share how. I used to have a captivate and this was as simple as it should be. So frustrating that i have spent this much time on it and still haven't gotten anywhere.
I just copy music over WiFi with es file explorer. Shared off some folders on my Windows box and I'm good to go

it's not getting the music on there that is the problem it is the actual playlists. I want to be able to go through all my music on my computer and make playlists then transfer them onto my phone and it is damn near impossible.

hm, i never got around to it myself, i just dump all my music on a 64GB MicroSD and there they are, but my mom sync'ed playlists i think with windows media player on my old GS3. MTP mode, debug in developers options ON.
It's more about what program you're using. I personally use isyncr. Though I find it strange that winamp isn't working.
Try "easyphonesync" from the playstore.
i'll check out a couple of the suggestions. It's actually not even so much an issue of 'syncing' the playlists either, more so just being able to transfer them one way from my computer to my phone
+1 for rsync
I shopped around for a couple of weeks for software to sync my playlists AND music. (I'm on Mac OS)
I couldn't find anything better. Give it a shot.

Hey guys, I finally switched my phone from an iPhone to an M8 because through my work I got one out of contract for $250 so I really couldn't pass the offer...
Anyways, I'm having trouble transferring my music from my iTunes (mac) to my new phone. Google music blows, it doesnt even get all the songs and playlist after trying 2950 times. So what else can I use that WILL get every single song and playlist CORRECTLY to my M8?
Thanks!
Also thinking about rooting it soon. Anyone have a link to how to do it on a Mac? I used to know how to root pretty well a couple years ago when I had my tablet but havent touched it in many years.
I had this issue too
I had the same problem - havent done it with masses of music yet, but in iTunes if you right click the song you want to copy, you can select to convert the song to an aac file - once youve done that open the memory card or internal storage and copy files to your music folder - simples

Thats the issue though. I cant connect it to my mac for some reason. Android Transfer wont find it and neither will like DoubleTwist
Mac does not play nice with MTP, which is the protocol used to transfer files back and forth between PC/Mac and Android.
If you are bone stock, just use HTC Sync and point it to your iTunes media folder in Finder.
If you are rooted and/or prefer ADB, download DriveDroid from the Play Store. Once downloaded, give it Super User permissions, then go to Settings > USB Settings > Manually Change Permanent USB Mode, then select Media Transfer Protocol. After that, go to your phone's Settings > Developer and enable USB Debugging.
Now, download Android File Transfer on your Mac. Plug your phone to your Mac and it'll load up and let you add/delete files at a whim.
With all that said... If you don't use ADB, HTC Sync will be the easiest and allow you to copy playlists from iTunes. With Android File Transfer, you can copy all the music, videos, whatever, but the actual playlists don't transfer over. If there is a way, I'd love to know.
