To save space I want to have my music in a flash drive. I can play individual songs but I want to know if there is way or an app that can shuffle songs that are on my flash drive if I have a folder with music only?

The only player that works with your requirement that I have tried is Poweramp. Winamp, etc. won't scan attached usb drives even though it is mounted inside /sdcard. Kind of weird I think. Will try jetaudio later when I get to my flash drive.

Jet audio will not scan flash drive
so far so good
Power Amp seems to work. I'm going to use a different flash drive and see what music it sees and see if the it saves the music on the device or not.

I've always been a doubleTwist user on Android but I was curious about other softwares that could transfer my music and playlists.
doubleTwist is fantastic application to transfer files but sadly the cable sync feature doesn't work on the SIII (or does it? Any suggestions)
AirSync with doubleTwist is fantastic as well, but my home WiFi connection is garbage so it takes too long to sync.
What are your favorite applications to sync music and playlists?
Google Music! Love it. I don't even use my ipod anymore
+1, Google Music all the way. I use easy ums app to transfer files or just stick my SD card in my Mac for faster transfer. I have used AirDroid before to transfer files and it worked very well and was fast even on my terrible wifi

Poweramp is not a sync application.. It's a player, and a damn good one.

MusicBee is BY FAR the best desktop music player I have encountered - both for use on the desktop and also for synching.
Much more intutitive and easy to use than MediaMonkey, etc., very full featured (has replaygain, fade, etc) and unlike a lot of other programs I have tried which tend to hang, crash of sync very slowly, it works easily every time.
Im surprised more people dont use it - it took me a while to discover this program and I think it rocks.
Ok.... does anyone know of a an app or a way to pay music on my sd card on my car stereo? I plug in my usb cable and nothing happens i used to be able to pull down the drop menu and i could mount sd card and whala it played but that option is gone. Thank you in advanced for any solutions you may have.

The GS3 does not support connecting over USB as a mass storage device (like my old Evo did). That is likely why your car stereo does not see your music on your phone. Not sure there is a way around that.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a solution but you can try it.
do you see the usb logo when you connect your phone to the radio on the status bar? If yes, pull down the notification, and click on the usb logo.. than choose "camera (ftp)", and right after that choose Media Device (MTP). It should work after that. You can also try to enable usb debugging under settings-developper options-usb debugging.

Yeah i could do that but i prefer usb cause my deck is a media player it has no cd slot or anything just shows all the songs via usb so i can use my remote to change songs vs looking at my phone distracting me from the road.
What rom are you on that allows you to connect usb as media?

There is an app for the international s3 that allows you to mount your sd.. But I have tried and it doesn't work on the us version, it would be great if we could get it working

I've tried all types of music players and configurations. The s3 can mount the USB to play music. However 98% of car stereos only support apple. There for you can not see the music on your deck like you can with a iPod. You can change the songs but it won't display them.

Mine kinda works :-0
When I plug my SG3 into my Sony deck (xplod or something) it recognizes a folder and plays the tracks in it. However it is not my music folder. It is some folder containing notification files. It will display the names of the files so I will try to find where those are stored and see if I can put music files there and see if they will play. But yeah, most decks are designed to work with Crapple thangs...
Hey anyone reading this I use my phone as my MP3 player aswell, and I use doubletwist to sync my music. I have a 32 GB MicroSD card, and i cant figure out how to sync my music the SD card rather than internal storage, any help? Thanks!

try foldersync. great app. also google music is pretty cool.
I do find Google music pretty cool, but I just listen to music for a huge chunk of my day and that active internet connection really kills my battery, also, if I'm not on wifi, or don't have full bars 4g, it seeks to be slow loading songs. Am I doing something wrong?

nah, your right. You can cache music locally. So in google music app you can select songs or albums and select 'keep on device' where it will keep them local and accessible without a inet connection. The thing is then you need to go in and do that for all the stuff you want to listen to which can be a pain if you mostly listen to things offline.
I do use foldersync too which syncs any folders I have defined whenever I connect to my home wifi automagically. I don't need to 'sync' or plug anything in. It just runs and works. That may be better for you. You can specify all kinds of sources to use (ftp, dropbox, drive, windows networking drives, samba, etc).
Wow thanks! Could I do this another way? My main desktop I use I have all my music on, and it can't connect to WiFi, would I just have to plug my phone into my desktop? I apologize I'm a total noob at this haha.

I have a question regarding the twiz music player. I'm on jellyb and somehow my stock music player or the Walkman can't "see" some of my music even thought they're in mp3 format. I've tried renaming the damn songs and they still don't pop up. I am able to play them using es explorer and having it play through stock app but it's just not popping up. Any ideas of how I could fix this?

If you just put on phone you might need to rescan media. There are apps in play store to force a rescan. Then I had a problem in the past where a app was creating a .nomedia file so the media scanner skipped that folder.

Almost like deja vu. Having the same issue in either the stock music player or Play Music. Just moved over to Note 2 from S3 and didn't have this happen on S3. Tried unmounting and mounting external SD card so as to force a rescan, no dice.
So i just rebooted the phone, went to Music Player and it's blank, says i have no music on phone. While contemplating what to do next (including downloading a re-scan media app from the market) i just let it alone and a minute later all my music started showing up and populating. I guess it took its sweet time to re-scan or get it's head right.

Only other couple things off the top of my head would be go to settings and application manager find the music player and try clearing data. My guess is that won't work since it's multiple players. Other thing I know some songs I downloaded from a mp3 app before didn't show until I updated the id3 tag for some reason. The ones that didn't show had a bunch of garbage in the id3 mostly random symbols. Once they got corrected they started showing up for me. But that was when I had my epic touch. Hope it works for ya.

yes. except pics. for some reason, they wont open with an app like quickpic. But you can watch movies and listen to music via 3rd party apps
