can somebody explain a way to do this? take out the m3u file from an itunes playlist so that my music on my galaxy nexus is organized..
Have you checked into DoubleTwist? I think that does what you're looking for.
Can you explain the problem a bit more? I just copy over my music and the Music app sorts it by artist, album, etc for me. (Actually it pulls it all from Google Music... uploaded all my music as soon as Google Music came out.)
DoubleTwist will pull in your playlists from iTunes and sync them with your phone. You'll need to use the DoubleTwist player on your phone too, though.

I recommend this also. I was using iOs for years and had setup smart playlists based on ratings. iSyncr and its widget work well to keep that going.

Ditto on Google Music. The music manager automatically uploads your music (even adjusted music - album covers, renames, etc) as well as any playlists you make in itunes. That's the way I do it. Requires no effort at all.

this requires data if streaming and i dont think the music quality would be the same when uploading to google music and then downloading it back to the phone
theres no way of just taking a playlist from itunes and uploading it to your phone then taking the m3u file and just adding it to the same folder?
no, iTunes sync is DRM encrypted so you cant do it directly from what I understand.
You can try finding a PC based app but iSyncr is cheap and works great. It has a PC only app.
You could import your library to Winamp or other player and directly sync also.
Maybe you can fool iTunes into thinking your phone is a data disc and import music that way but that sounds like a lot of work.

I run into this... 90% of my library transferred to Google Music okay, the other 10% (especially my Lonely Island albums) is DRM protected and short of burning them to a CD I have yet to find something that will remove it on them. Doubletwist doesn't even see them (I put them all into a playlist by themselves)... More reasons to hate Apple (but applaud their ability to monopolize and make money)...
Needless to say, I haven't bought anything from iTunes since summer so I can avoid this...

As some others in this thread have already stated, the iSyncr app available in the Android Market can do what you want. It allows you to see all the playlists you currently have in iTunes and select which ones you want to import onto your Android-based phone. After you've selected which playlists you want it will sync them (and the relevant song files) to your phone. After that your music app of choice on your phone should be able to see the playlists.
I use an iMac at home with iTunes and have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and use the above scenario all the time to sync my playlists from iTunes to my GNex.
I use Google Music but if you want to sync your iTunes library or playlists, double twist is definitely the way to go. And it DOES play fine with the default Music app, it just mirrors your iTunes music folder to your phones music folder, which the stock Music app scans.

Sync with Google Music over Wifi, no data required when playing offline music.
Google Music doesn't do any transcoding if your music is in MP3 format. If it's in other formats it will do transcoding.
The Android Music player supports .m3u playlists, so you can export your playlists from iTunes in .m3u format, then copy the playlist to your phone in the same folder hierarchy, and the media scanner will then read the playlist.
Nevermind i found a way, isyncr wasnt working out for me on my mac (playlists werent showing up, music was getting deleted.. etc..) so i got this app from the mac app store called Playlist Export and it works great. Heres the link http://www.ericdaugherty.com/apps/playlistexport/

^ I think the app is free, so not AS bad. But this whole MTP thing is rough for Mac owners. I've been trying for a while to figure out a free way to get my girlfriend's playlists from her macbook to her GNexus.
I'm going to give that app a shot later today, but if anyone has any other good ideas (other than the wifi add-ons for iSyncr and DoubleTwist), let me know. I'd appreciate it.
actually, itunes supports m3u now.. just click file > library > export playlist, then choose m3u and add that too your music folder on phone with the music in it !!!!!

^ I was pretty happy to discover that earlier, and exported all the .m3u playlists to her phone via dropbox. I had all of the mp3 songs loaded for each playlist that I was going to transfer over, but when I opened the .m3u files, it gives me an error message saying "Error playing the requested track." I'm guessing the issue is that the .m3u file isn't in the same folder as the rest of the music files. If I used a file manager app and moved the .m3u into the music file, would that help?
Also, I have tried using doubletwist with airsync, which works for transferring songs, but doesn't give me playlists on her phone. I've tried dragging and dropping the playlists onto her phone, and I've tried letting doubletwist sync them completely.
I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point. If anyone has worked out any sort of solution with a Mac, please let me know!
Cheers
i use doubletwist, syncs everything

I read an article today at WMPoweruser.com from Surer about streaming music from Skydrive.
So I tried it out myself. Result: you can play music and videos from Skydrive and Dropbox.
WM7 opens the webbrowser for you to open the file. It is then downloaded to your phone. Next the Zuneplayer is started and it will play your music or video.
Snag: only audio and video files that can be played with the Zune player on your desktop computer can be opened with the Zuneplayer on your phone.
Solution: convert the files with Zune on your desktop computer, upload it and enjoy!
I tried it from my own Apache webserver in a dedicated folder but it failed because the settings aren't right. The file isn't downloaded, but this can be fixed easily. If it works I will have my own near limitless cloudservice.
Thanks for the heads up. I've been going through, looking for the differences, and the biggest changes I've noticed are in the animations.
Also Amazon music and Google music can be played in the same way.

My understanding is you have to have premium version to access HTML5 player - which makes sense, since they don't want people with mobile devices to be able to use their site, because that would remove a huge incentive for people to buy the premium version.

Two questions:
- Is the file accessible trough the Office Hub on your phone and
- Can you play the mp3 file with the Zuneplayer on your computer
Try also the option of streaming via Dropbox, Amazon or Google. I just tried it and it does work.
soundcloud.com works now, too.. and in the background while doing other things. then it fades on call, and fades back after the call.
well done so far
my page has music on it, too. it should work now, too (being a html5 player). but as it's offline for the time being (i'm moving to a new home, physically), i can't test
so does bandcamp
sometimes, it's nice to not be first. all the pages had time to prepare for iphone/ipad and co, and now just work on wp7. great great.
Check out the music player on lynziekent.com --it works great but i am wondering if there is a way to enable next/previous buttons (the ones with the volume control) to control the playlist inside the music player on the site.

Through the google music app. Select the song or album you want, long press-add instant mix. Then go to the instant mix-menu-make available offline.

Music files are stored here:

I have been trying to figure a way to make use of this because it would be nice if there were other music apps that could take advantage of these songs but have had no luck.
Sent from my pimped out galaxy 2
PowerAmp lets you select which folders to scan for music, so selecting the cache folder for Google Music makes those songs available to PowerAmp. And PowerAmp really is one of the best music apps available. I wish Google would release APIs making our cloud-stored music available to any app that uses them.

All of a sudden I am getting a lot of trouble with the music on my phone. My iTunes library is very organized with all the artist info, album, album art, etc. I tried to use the Kies app to sync my music on my phone, but for some reason some tracks are moved on the my phone with the title being something among the lines of "01 Song One" and all the other song information is unknown. This is the case with maybe about 30 or 40 songs while the rest of my 2000+ song library are fine. I tried syncing with doubleTwist and got the same result. I even tried just moving the songs directly onto my SD Card and I STILL got the same result. Anyone know anything I can do so all my music are transferred to my phone properly? Thanks in advance.
Have you tried editing the properties of the music? To the proper album name and song name you want?
I do this on my computer when my music library gets messed up

Edit it where? When the songs are in my iTunes library it has all the information correct.
You could use mp3tag on your PC to edit the files directly. In my experience, iTunes doesn't always make the changes to metadata to the actual file and when you try to transfer it elsewhere the data is gone. That's actually why I quit using iTunes. But mp3tag should fix those few files no problem.

I'm looking for the best way to get my music from iTunes locally onto my HTC One.
Preferably, I'd like to remove the remaining DRM on my iTunes music, and let google play music do the rest (the only songs not on play are DRM-protected).
From there I think I'd just download the library and put it on my phone.
But mainly I guess I'm asking how to remove that DRM?
If you are willing to pay $25 for the year, iTunes match will allow you to download your library drm free. That is what I did and then used Google Music to upload to the cloud.

You can make mp3 versions of your songs within iTunes itself then put it on any device you want. That's what I do.
Go to iTunes settings/preferences then "general" then click the button that says "import settings" and select MP3 encoder. Save the settings.
Then right click the songs you want to convert and select "create MP3 version." You can either keep or delete the AAC version. I delete it because I don't want 2 versions of the same song.
I'm pretty sure it removes DRM... because once I do this, I'm able to do anything I want with it. Amazon cloud, google, etc.

Easiest way, use a music converter program to convert to DRM free MP3, then upload them to google music. I personally like the program sound taxi to do this, can queue up as many songs as you want, it will convert 8-12 at a time until they whole queue is done.

yeah I'm currently trying to burn my music to an audio CD to remove the DRM and re-ripping them to my library. I already did a quarter of my DRM music that way.
The rest of it is on google music.
But can I just drag the MP3s onto the phone?

Thats the more painful (and costs money) way of converting, but it works.
Yes you can just put the music on ur phone, I myself prefer to have it on google music... but I have unlimited data so it doesn't matter for me.
I use poweramp and it plays every song I have from iTunes.

Wow, what a blast from the past seeing this thread again.
I've been meaning to put some music onto my Note 2 running JellyBomb, but I don't really know what music program to use on my phone and PC (windows 8). For example, the google music app, the default music players, or possibly a music player in the play store. So just wondering, what program is everyone using on their Desktop that's similar to iTunes in organization to sync music to their phones? I tried using android apps that sync iTunes to android devices, but they don't really show the album artwork in the apps. Thanks in advance for any input/advice.

I'm using media monkey. Looks like iTunes but works with Android. Installs on windows, creates libraries, play lists, imports just about all music formats as well as converting to most popular formats. Manages your video, rips and burns CDs. Can act as a media manager both local or across a loan. Too much to mention. Just Google media monkey.

I used Google Music. It's may not be quite feature rich as others such as iTunes or Zune. It works well on the phone. You can listen to music just on the device or everything on the device and uploaded to the cloud. They will even play songs not on either, if set for all songs. It also has a subscription service.
The music player is pretty plain, which is fine with me. Most people who like stuff like Beats just like how it increases the bass, which also increases distortion. But one can find music by artist, album, genre and so forth.
If you're just looking to play on the device and want more features, PowerAmp is very good choice and cheap.
