I have an EVO and had the hero and both phones did this.
My only complaint with the phone is this.
I have my music stored in the media folder of my SD card
But also have my familys music in a different folder in my SD card.
I don't want their music to be shown in my music app, because I never listen to those songs, and it just makes it cluttered, plus some of the songs are kid songs.
Is their anyway to have music (mp3's) on the SD card but hide them from the music player recognizing them so they don't show up.

I had that issue way back with my G1...picked up a trick. Any folder that has audio files that you DONT want the music player to see, view the folder in explorer or some directory viewer and mark the folder as "hidden". You will still be able to see it and it's contents, but the music app will ignore it.
Create a file and rename it to .nomedia and place it in the folder of the music you don't want to see.
cool, thanks guys
Hello! A question for those of you using Winamp with your phone...
I would like to use Winamp to manage my music on my PC and my Android device (EVO). Is there a way to make winamp look ONLY at the android's "MUSIC" folder? Right now, it wants to sync every media file on my sd card to my PC. This includes tons of ringers, turn-by-turn nav audio files, etc. which reside in various other folders, not in the MUSIC folder.
TIA !!
I have music on my sd card and internal..... Is there an application that will find al of my music on my phone and organize it into one Directory? Some times I d/l on my phone and I want to upload it to Google Music cloud..... Every time I put a new rom on, my playlists get deleted. Can I save them some how.....????
Thanks in advance.....
with my other androids, (MyTouch 4g, One S, One X)
I open iTunes and my Phone/Internal/SDcard
and would just highlight the songs in iTunes and drag over to Phone Storage.
Here with the GS3 I get a (\) Not Available sign and it wont go through.
What am I missing here?
I don't know about iTunes (I stopped using it), but I was able to just open the SD card folder and the folder with the music and was able to copy and paste that way.

I'm assuming you have a google account, if you do you can upload your entire itunes library to google music using your desktop computer and then you have access to your library with your phone. If you don't want to use cloud-based, just find your itunes folder on your computer and transfer those songs to your sd card. IMO the google music is the easiest way to do it and it doesn't take up storage space on your phone.

You can also flag artists, playlists, tracks, etc etc to be downloaded and kept local through google music as well

You don't iTunes to do the job of transfering your music to your phone. The galaxy s3 storage type is a different kind of type than previous devices, its mpti or something similar to that i believe so it doesn't mount like an sd card it mounts like some device which windows recognizes.
Why don't you just browse to your music directory and just open up your my computer Sg3 device then select either internal or external storage and drag your music files from your local music folder to your galaxy s3 sd card or internal storage.
To get your music into itunes in the first place you must have dragged your music into itunes or imported your music from your local pc music folder so therefore you can do the same thing for the gs3, drag your music from your local folder to your gs3 device. itunes is for iphones its crappy.
Make a new folder on your desktop, drag the files from iTunes to that folder, then from that folder to your gs3. Just gotta add that extra step.
Osman, iTunes organizes the music into folders by artist then by album so doing it that way would take A LOT of time.
Good question, I've always sort of wanted to grab some of my older music from iTunes. You're right though, Apple does suck a hard one!

Get doubletwist. And download one for PC too. Whatever is in your itunes will show up in doubletwist. Then you can air sync your music (paid addon) or usb

You could always use the official software Samsung Kies which fully supports importing music from iTunes and transfering music to the device as well as backing the device up.
You could use a script.
I found one that syncs a playlist to a folder. I just have all the songs i want on my phone in a playlist and it syncs right to my music folder when connected.
Although i store my music on my external SD card..
Anyone else having problems importing music playlists ("m3u" or "pls" files) on Android 5.0.1 (Lollipop)?
Up until I upgraded to Lollipop, I didn't have too much trouble getting my music playlists on my phone. Most of the time, the playlists that I had created would just remain on my phone after an update. On rare occurrences when they didn't (ie: wiping the phone and switching to a new ROM), I would just copy the "m3u" or "pls" playlist files into the music folder of my SDCard, reboot the phone, and the Android OS would scan the SDCard during boot process and generate the music playlists in the internal format. This has not worked on Lollipop.
I have never understood why none of the music player apps on Android include a function to import and export playlists ("m3u" or "pls" files). This always seemed like a huge over-sight to me. For people like me that have hundreds of music files, and have created music playlists that we like to listen to over and over again, the idea of having to re-create them on a new device (or a new version of an OS) is a huge hassle!
I have found a music playlist editor app on Android. This app allows me to edit/modify them, but does not provide a way to import them into the Android OSs internal format (so that they can be played in other apps like Google Play Music), or a way to export the internal playlists.
Anyone know of anything that would help???

You have to convert the playlist to .m3u save it in a folder name playlist then Reboot the phone and it should show up.
Note:
When you reboot and check the playlist give it a few seconds for the media player to recognize the playlist. Hope this helps. Worked for me on my Galaxy Edge.
