I have a bunch of FLACs loaded in my foobar and that's how I listen them. I haven't found any easy way convert/upload the files into some cloud storage. I can convert the files to mp3 and then upload to Google Music, but it's a major pita. I want something that works on the fly. Anything like that exists?
You don't need to convert them, the Google music uploader will do that for you.
Or select them in foobar, choose convert and choose a folder in Dropbox/box/copy as the output folder.
Edit: typos.
I believe google music uploader automatically converts flac files to 320kbps mp3 files

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if there was away i can recude my MP3 file sizes so i can store more songs on my mobile. Is there away?
Thanks

Very simple! Reduce the quality (bps). High quality means large files but you can still enjoy decent music at 96kbps (kilo bits per second) with about 2 megs. per song.
Try google for a free converter.
Also, if your phone does not support stereo playback, then you can further reduce MP3 filesize by converting your MP3 files from stereo to mono.
Goodluck
Very easy actually. If you have the CD, wack it in the CD drive and in media player adjust the Rip settings. The smaller the file size, the worse quality it will be in most cases. If you dont have the CD the best thing to do is go to www.google.com and search for a free mp3 converter. I hope this helps.
when I owned Siemens SL45i I've used "AudioConverter Studio" to reduce bitrate of MP3s. http://www.ManiacTools.com
You can give it a set of files, select output quality, press "convert" and all is done.
Or you can convert files to OGG format. They are typically smaller than MP3s with the same quality. There are some freeware converters on net.
Convert the files on OGG format, which btw is greatly compressed without affecting quality and then use MortPlayer to play your tunes.
cdex is a freeware open source ripper and reconverter it's pretty good
Buy larger storage
This is just another option for compression option have been stated at above threads
buy a larger storage card so you can store more mp3.
I have 1g SD so I dont convert my mp3 anymore. Converting it to smaller will lost it quality. I just copy music I like to carry then earase it and copy another set after sometime, I keep my collection at the PC.
Hi,
If I transfer music files to the Desire which are organised into seperate folders (directories) can I browse the music by this folder structure on the music player or can I only browse the music via Album/Artist/Genre tags etc that are embedded in the music files?
Thanks.
It'll probably depend on the app you use to play the music. They either work one way or the other. The basic Sense player sorts it by artist/album etc.
Hello,
Total newb here. Used Astro to copy some *.mp3 files to the storage card / music directory. When I try to create a playlist, the files are not shown. I have to assume it is because it is lacking some tag information.... The files exist when seen in astro.
If that is truly the case....How can I get the audio podcasts to play in MUSIC if there is no tag info?
Note: many of the podcasts I listen to are not part of a RSS podcatching system, but must be manually downloaded.
Thank you for your time
I was wondering are the playlists for the stock music player or the google play music player stored in a file that can be edited? I have some playlists on my pc and I was hoping I could open them as flat files and edit them and place them on my phone rather than going in the music player and re-creating all of them on my phone.
Is anyone elses Google Music archiving or collecting their system sounds like ticket, camera click, video record, etc? I found that odd, but not sure if it's just me, or something I did or what. Basically If I'm hitting next next to try and find a song I like, its pulling those system sounds up and plays them. Very odd...considering they are OGG extension.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is pretty strange, I was under the impression that Google Music would only contain music that you specifically uploaded...maybe you fed it a list of all the music you wanted uploaded and accidentally included a wrong folder?
As for the OGG part, Google Music plays nice with OGG files. I uploaded some ~40GB of OGGs from my laptop when I first signed up for it no problem. It's just a more compressed audio format but Google Music, like most media players that aren't iTunes or Windows media player do.
You may put an .nomedia file in folders you dont wanna show in app...maybe it work.
