I am unable to use external sd to host my OBB files, if i use any of the kk fixer apps it breaks my Bluetooth while playing music from any streaming site, has anyone successfully made this work while keeping bluetooth 100% functional with Pandora, songza. Etc?
If i place the tablet in landscape mode my tablet UI keeps rebooting but i am unable to se. Use it and get no pop up with what the issue is, it is not the same issue that we see with chomecast and landscape but similar

Hi,
MTP is starting to be a real pain for me. For all its benefits, its not as good as Mass Storage.
If I'd rather use my laptop to Edit MP3 Tags (as its much faster than using a touch screen), it seems I have to transfer all my music (copy) from my GNEX over to my computer, edit the tags, then copy them back over.
That to me is a real pain.
I could view the MP3's via my PC with the GNex connected, but if I try and do anything to them, I notice that its read only.
Anyway around that other than what I'm already doing? I really don't like offloading the mp3's just to edit and put them back again.
You might try mounting the internal phone storage via WebDAV. I use an app called "WebDAV server" to serve out my phone's storage via WebDAV and then use a program called "NetDrive" to mount the storage on my PC. The storage looks and acts like a Windows drive on the PC, though it is a bit slower than a mass storage mount would be. It gets around the limitations of the default media mounting.
IT guy but Android noob here and although I love the ATT s3, I hate to say I miss the iPhone when it comes to managing music. As much as I am against computers and pones as appliances, it just works in apple world. I am struggling with managing and loading music. Currently on rc9 of liquidsmooth rom based on 4.1.2.
Music monkey will not transfer to the sd card on windows 7 64bit and kies will simply not see the phone. Does not matter if I am in USB debug or not. Media monkey acts odd in that it sometimes sees the internal storage as external and vice versa. Mostly though it just fails to copy music over to the sd as if it does not have permission to write. Checked permissions in the platform.xml file and all is well and correct. I simply want to transfer music with playlists built and I am struggling. Am I dealing with a jelly bean issue or is it due to custom rom?
Any advice is greatly appreciated or an alternative procedure.
Thanks

Get Astro or root explorer. To transfer within the phone.
If you are having connectivity issues with your pc...get a free drop box account...or two. Upload your music and download with your phone. Easy.
Am I the only one in the world that just does drag-and-drop in windows explorer to manage my music? Never had a problem with it and I have 70+GB of music. iTunes is so overrated.
I have always just copied music into a "Music" folder on SD card. Like manske90 said above me just drag and drop with windows explorer. If you have your music organized in itunes and want to stick with itunes there are a couple options I have found helpful. You can make a music folder on the desktop and drag the songs you want from itunes itself into there (which will just make copies of the files) and clean out the folder afterwards. Or you can figure out what music you want in itunes right click the song and choose "open in explorer" and copy/paste to the SD card. There also seems to be a few stand alone applications if you google around, but I personally have never used any of them. Best of luck!
Have you tried Easy Phone Sync? It uses your itunes library to sync music onto android devices. You can sync the whole library or just certain playlists. It also lets you choose where you want the songs to be copied to ie internal memory or sd card.

This is the link to the desktop application and then you just need to download easy phone sync from the play store in order for the desktop application to make contact with your phone. Also it's absolutely free.

Thanks for the replies folks...I really don't want this to be a two step process (copy to phone and use a file manager on the phone to move the music again) and honestly it should not be this hard to move music.
This is intensely frustrating....just connected a non rooted, Tmobile S3 with stock 4.1.1 ROM and it will allow me to write to the SD card on that device with no trouble, from Media Monkey....makes no sense whatsoever especially since the permissions appear to be correct for the Rooted problem phone. it very much appears to be a permissions issue....

Isyncr. It uses iTunes and tranfers music, playlists...etc. it is flawless. You won't be sorry.

Hi. I was watching a TV show avi file on my stock GPad stored on a 128GB class 10 Sandisk, when suddenly it stopped working and said something like "Cannot play this video" which was strange as it had played the previous episodes and half of that episode fine. I was using MX Player so thought I'd try the stock video player and it couldn't load the files either. I tried some other files both avi and mkv and no luck either. Then I loaded the video files onto the internal memory and they play fine so its not a problem with the files or the media players. Also all my music and photos that are stored on the SD card play back fine. So why did video files stop working? Anybody else have this issue?

Yes i have this exact same problem put movies on sd card to watch on flights you watch half way then stops so now only put on device memory and same as you no problems one way is to store on sd card then transfer to device memory to play.all this i suspect is the kit kat update
Try installing the sd card monitor app and see if you are getting a bad removal about the time that the playback problem happens. See the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/help/external-sd-card-g-pad-try-to-clarify-t2794258
I haven't gotten to play with one of these before. Just curious about this very important detail.
Streaming is bad, mmkay?
i guess only streaming unfortunately
wrong forum
Correct forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-auto-general
Local should work, but I've never tried it.
A few other music players are AA compatible and can do local or streaming.
The units will only store the downloaded media to the 'flash' drive. So you will be limited to 1gb or less of storage. I have tried to switch it to the SD card or a usb stick and I have not found a way to get it to work. My Samsung S5 has the ability to choose the storage location. However I can't get this function to show on the head unit. Or transfer the app to the SD card or USB stick to store the files there.
For those of you who use Google's Play Music with your px5 (mine is a Dasaita Octa 4/32 Oreo), can you confirm that offline/downloaded libraries work on your unit?
Mine will download fine but regardless of whether they are stored on the internal memory or on an external SD, the next day, they're all gone. It won't even see the library names until I'm connected to Google again and requires a download again at that point. Google's CS is baffled, they've had me reload the app numerous times, scrub, change settings...nada. It applies to playlists, stations and purchased music. All gone each day. Streaming works fine...IF live connected to the net. There are no problems with other google family apps and their downloads offline, including maps and YT Music.
I'd like to know if others with similar factory software and hardware are using that service successfully or if they are encountering conflicts as well.
Thanks.
I have same issue, though i did a fresh download on Internal (NOT sd card, NOT usb) and it has been working no issues. If i use the other 2 the library disappears or says its there when connected to internet (even if i have downloaded only)

When you say that you did a fresh download to the internal, are you talking about the app? (I always load apps to the internal) Or your libraries? I've loaded the libraries internal, to the SD, at high rate, at low rate, 1 list, 5 lists, set to wi-fi only, unset for wi-fi only, streaming rates changed, memory scrubs...Google is baffled, I'm baffled.
I had them occasionally disappear on my pixel 2 when it was still on oreo, but not at this rate or this entirety. I assumed that it was Google's always-move-it-to-the-cloud at work, when storage was getting tight, but I've got 40 gbs sitting open between internal and SD on this.
i'm talking about the music itself. Sorry for late reply but didn't get notification of update in thread.
