so I formatted my SD card and synced all my music to it again on my GS3. Most of the songs are in the right places, but several of them still come up under "unknown artist," which ruins albums. I tried editing the info on my computer, to no avail on some songs. Kies is not any good either. What is a good way to get my music onto my SD card in my GS3 exactly as the songs are sorted in iTunes?

That information is read from the ID3 tags. There are a bunch of Windows programs available that can write tags for audio files. My personal favorite is Tag&Rename. Search it in Google (can't post links). It's not freeware, but I believe the free version is fully functional.
have u tried using something like this, very cool i might add.

ooh, thank you.
in the meantime, i made my own with winamp so which android recognises and at least i can back those files up
Did anyone ever find the answer to this question
I have searched all the DBs i could find but couldn't find the one with playlist data.
Morning all
I'm getting a bit frustrated my the inability of the Samung music library to pick up and sort my mp3's into the correct albums
I have one album split into two albums, one with 6 tracks on, the other with 2 tracks on and then a number of individual songs with no artist name associated just a track number?
I've tried retagging them but can't really find a decent app for it... what do you guys use?
On my PC I use EasyTAG (Linux only I think) and MusicBrainz Picard (cross-platform). The latter has the ability to take a fingerprint of any music file, match it up against its online database, and download complete ID3 information. It's generally accurate and a huge time-saver.
I don't know of any retagging apps for Android, though.
try this...
if you're using windows, try this - it's free :
http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html
it's important to make sure that each file only has a single set of tags rather than multiple tags which confuse applications. mp3tag can do all sorts of things like set your tags based on the filename and delete old tags.
Cheers lads, I'll check em all out asap...
If I should only have one set of tags, should they be v1 or v2?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
pretty sure i've gone for v2 and my files are identified correctly ...
make sure the album title is exactly the same as a tiny differences (e.g. caps) might result in your situation.
mp3tag is great in recognizing and editing tags and i think it changes them all so you dun have to worry about v1/v2=)

+1. The only tagging software you'll ever need. Customisable to the nth degree, never let me down after 4 years.
Any ideas if i should use ID3v1 or ID3v2.3? From a quick Google search Android 2.3.3 seems to have an issue with reading id3 tags and correctly sorting mp3 files.

There are many chart busters available in various sites. This shows the users on what are the most favorite and hot selling music downloaded frequently by other music lovers thereby tempting them to download more MP3s. Many music associations conduct these kinds of chart busters and highlight the music in chronological order. The most famous ones which are downloaded by users always hit the chart list first. So these kinds of chart busters help the Music Free downloads even faster and mostly the songs which are frequently making it to the top are going to make it for mostAlbums Free Music downloads[/URL][/COLOR][/B] in the market. Conducting such kinds of chart busters also helps in more download of Mp3’s. This is a sort of advertising which most of the websites do in order to market and so that the number of Music Free downloads are raised further. These chart busters also mean lots to the users as they come to know the latest hits in the music world.

WTF is this nonsense nothing you said makes a lick of sense like you just started stringing words together then rearranging them and repeating yourself. There's no need to spam jibberish for your first and only post. :thumbdown: and you necroposted a thread from over a year ago. Ridiculous.

I installed a program called iTuneMyWalkman that was supposed to transfer all my iTunes music over to my phone via usb, but instead of syncing, it deleted all the songs I already had on my external SD card!
WTF!!
Is there a reliable program out there that can do this?
Can Google Music do this?
Thanks!

Try DoubleTwist. But you may have to spend a couple bucks for some extra features.
I'll try it. I'm out of thanks for today though.
Also, you could give my app "iSyncr" a try. With it, you don't have to leave iTunes and move to another music player on your computer.
If you run into any issues with it, just shoot me an email using the app, I'm here to help!
Cheers!

I use your app isyncr and isyncr wifi. I can personally vouch that they work 100 percent and are very easy to use. I've even begun to use your music player. Thank you very much for your great apps. They are awesome.
To the O.P., use isyncr. Its worth the price and syncs everything from iTunes you could want.

Going to throw my hat in for iSyncr. Kicks a$$ and worth it. Grab the WiFi add on too also 'just works'. I've tried many, MediaMonkey Gold, DoubleTwist and others. This one rocks.
Could you tell me if isyncer worked for you? Things to help a friend with the same issue on his s3. Thanks!

I have an alarm app that can play music files stored on the phone.
In my old HTC EVO, I knew that Google Music was stored in a directory (something like android/data/com.google.android.music) but when I go to that directory on my new GNex, it's empty. I'm using ES File explorer to search for music, but can't seem to find any.
I am unrooted and very stock.
Q: which directory does Google Play Music store music in?
It's in a different location now

Yea, it used to be /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music but they moved it. Try looking in /data/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music
The downside is that all of your mp3s are numbered and not very easy to differentiate when browsing. Not such a big deal if you just want random plays from your offline music or only have a couple available offline but, it definitely sucks if you have a specific song in mind out of 25K offline songs.
Hope this helps!

I knew about the numbered mp3 issue. Just a random shuffle in the morning is usually good enough to get me out of bed.
I looked and didn't find
/data/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music
It just went to: /data - then "Empty folder"

Try /data/user/com.google.android.music/cache/music. That's where mine is at least.

I think you might be in the internal memory or the sd card, still. You need to go all the way back to root. I haven't played around with ES File Manager but it is fairly easy to do in Solid Explorer. Just search Solid Explorer Beta2 by Krzysztof Głodowski in Google Play and you should find it.
Once you are in root, your data folder should have a lot more folders inside.

I downloaded Solid Explorer and tried to go to root /data. "Cannot browse to /data . An unknown error occurred."
As mentioned above - could this be because my device is not rooted?
Meanwhile, I think I'll try that Offline Music Importer.
Thanks for the help, folks.
Actually, Offline Music Importer can detect I have Google Music installed, but can't find any files. I know that there is offline music on my device, because I have clicked on the "on device only" button and I can see the songs.
I think you need to be rooted. not sure about apps that copy them for you like offline music or cloud sniper.
