Hi all,
I have a Macbook Pro and installed kies.. now, to be honest, i think kies is and absolute piece of s***.. i mean, it gets stuck, it won't let me add music. the UI is quite harsh on the eyes and to be honest, it isn't for everyday use like itunes it. which in my opinion is the only thing i like from apple.
Now my question is.. what software are y'all using.. don't tell me spotify or anything like that..
cheers !!
Spotify + iTunes.

but if you use itunes how do you pass the music ?
I used to use doubletwist because it replicates your itunes library and can sync via wifi.
But recently I just drag and drop like a usb

I jsut redownloaded double twist and tried it via cable. THe problem is that the Note 2 only connects via MTP mode and not mass storage. Double twist requires mass storage which is a pain lol.
I've always just used the airsync because I bought the pro version for $9.99 which comes with airsync and never noticed the cable thing lol.
Thing is i don't wanna spend 10 quid on a music software... Too expensive no matter what features it has

have you tried slacker?
I'm playing with it now... its weird, different. Their top stations are awful but I created a new station that was playing my kind of music.
The thing I loved about lastfm was their vast selection of music. They even knew about this local garage band around me. I guess time will tell if slacker is good, but I'm open to more suggestions

My favorite music app over and above all else is now AudioGalaxy. Check it out. It streams all the music from your home computer without you having to sync.
i like GrooveShark. its not free, but at 3usd a month, its not going to bankrupt me. you can cancel it anytime too, and you get to use playlists from other people(check out reddit, grooveshark playlists). you can see these on your computer and your phone, and mark favorites from them.
i'd check out the free version on your PC first, everything it can do, so can the mobile client.

I used Titanium backup to remove the stock music player and now my lockscreen music controls on CM7 and my headset music buttons work for AudioGalaxy without firing up another player. That used to happen to me. Sometimes I'd have 2 players play at the same time. Since AG is really the only mp3 player I need I uninstalled the other ones.
Another alternative is Grooveshark.

While I personally love grooveshark and pay for it to use the android app, the fact that such payment is required makes this a less than likeable alternative for many who are seeking something free like lastfm used to be.

The application does not work for me in the MBP
Not sure why. I'm running it on OS X Lion and it works fine when I plug in my GNex.
Edit: You gotta make sure you open it at least once on your own. It will prompt you with the "This is an application from the Internet. Sure you want to open?" Dialogue. Click yes, and after that, it should open any time you plug the phone in.
Make sure on your phone that USB debugging is not checked when you want to use file transfer.

I have a GNexus and use an iMac as my primary computer at home and have been using the paid app iSyncr WiFi to sync music playlists from iTunes to my phone without any issues.
I've used iSyncr and its WiFi add-on component for quite some time now with multiple Android phones and have been very happy with it.
One thing to note right now is that the regular iSync app (which does its syncing via USB cable) is not compatible with ICS, so you'll have to settle for doing your syncing via WiFi. I've actually been in contact with the app dev and he's working on making iSyncr compatible but that version of the app is not yet available.

Anything to sync in the same way iPhoto and working with the galaxy Nexus?
I am sorry as i dont know where to request for the apps for my galaxy s3
I need a app tht could sync my music from my iMac Itunes to my S3 memory card. like it does in WMP12 on Windows 7
There's quite a few.
best IMHO is iSyncr.
allows you to sync your play lists across and also keeps play counts upto date.
I use that to sync and player pro for listening.

asking about Warez is against the rules on XDA and could get you banned..
going on a developer site and asking for pirated software is like selling bootleg Madonna CD's right in front of her.. It's just bad form and not very tasteful at all..

Hi there,

Is anyone of you making use of it?
Does it work correct?

It's more of an android question. People are using doubletwist player from play store. Check it out from
Play.Google.com
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
If you download the Google Play Music manager it'll automatically upload all of the music from your computer. Its pretty legit.

DoubleTwist player can do this. Google it for product info.

I don't know, man.... I think the trade off is worth it.
The cool thing about Play Music is that you can pick and choose which music you want on the device and 'pin it' to your device. If you just choose to play the music, it'll cache all of it.
Either way, it's legit and I totally recommend it.

Double twist is pretty buggy. Why don't you wait until Sep 12 to make ur decision. I am not asking you to get the iPhone. Just wait to see what apples got under its sleeve before making ur decision.
Well, it works with HTC Sync!
It's pretty slow, but it works, it even creates the playlists
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

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.
