Hello all, i have tried today my brand new Gt3. It looks really good but I have issues copying mp3 files to it. For some reason the transfer always hangs after I copied over 10-15 songs. When it hangs the transfer stops at 0% and restating the app and or watch does not allow to continue. The mp3 files (I tried different ones) play well on various other devices. Any suggestions? (I have over 1.5gb free memory on the watch)
Update: I think I found it. It seems that the GT3 does not like songs with a dash in the name. The funny part is that it actually downloads it to watch (and plays it) - but any other song AFTER is not copied. After deleting the song with the dash in the name all is good...

hey guys
a total noob question . i got micro SD card for the TP2 and put the music in there using the device center ( using the sync function to put the music in the micro SD card). all the music files shows in the media player on the cell phone and runs too, but i can get anything on the Music Tab of th TouchFlow its saying No Music Found
am i missing something or doing something wrong :S
Did You perform a soft reset?
My experience of loading up 3 gig's worth of music onto the microSD card in my Kaiser (I use the stock WMplayer btw) was that NOTHING showed up in media player until I had manually updated the players library. Once that had been done, all songs could then be selected or indeed played with the player or using MSVC for 'ooohs' from friends. I would guess theres a similar library/scanning function in the HTC supplied media player if you use that, but dont have a clue where!
hope this helps

i'm having the same problem. only 3 albums out of 50 or so appear in the tf3d tab even though all are in the windows media app
hmm, i think i mightve figured it out. the tab only shows whats "currently playing," ie the current playlist. all of my songs show up when i touch "library." i think i'll be trying out some other media players, this is kind of cumbersome
Touch Pro 2/Tilt 2 with AT&T: I get a LOT of crashes, followed by the "white page of death" (the offer to send the error report to Microsoft). This happens in a variety of music players except of course Windows Media Player. Most of the time, it seems to happen when I'm browsing songs by directory; I store my mp3 media on a storage card.
Any thoughts or anyone have similar issues? I suspect it's because some things just aren't ready for WM 6.5 but wanted to poll the experts on here.
I have the stock AT&T rom minus the crap (CrapScraper), and some registry tweaks from this site for network speed enhancement and a couple minor things.
I've had no such trouble, but just for giggles, see if you have the same poblems playing files from the internal memory. I have a car stereo that can play files from USB media, and it would disconnect and crash back to the main menu when it came across problems with the SD filesystem.
I also have the same problem here.
All the players crash except for "Windows Media Player".
I still have the stock rom and i've tryed with a SD-Card of 4GB and also with one of 16GB.
I've get the most stable results after i deleted all the "AlbumArt" files, but it didn't solve the problem.
P.S.: i've also tryed formating the storage card!
I use PocketMusic and have used it for years. Works perfect for me - and works the way I do: I have my music divided up by folder to segment my variety of musical tastes. If you use WinAmp, this will feel just about the same (in fact, it uses a ton of WinAmp skins in WinAmp mode).
It does all the usual playlists too, so you can just play using those.

Hello,
I've noticed that some of my songs don't show on my Note 2, when I use sing Meridian. I transferred again the missing songs to the phone but even though I saw them for a while, as soon as I rebooted the phone they disappeared. I can see them with ES Explorer but they show zero bytes (look like broken links) and can't be played from there (normally I can play files from ES Explorer which will launch the music player).
I transferred again the files, with the same results.
Shockingly I found out that if I take the 64GB SanDisk place it in an adapter and stick it in my laptop, Windows will see all files with no problem and will play them smoothly.
I'm dumbfounded.
So as it stands I can't play a few tens of songs on my Note 2 (4.1.1) and can't even see the files, only with the laptop's help
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks.
Here's the situation...
My wife wants to listen to music at work without using the data plan. She would like to have all of her music on the phone at all times. When she rips CDs (yes she still buys CDs) or buys new music on Amazon she'd like it to just show up on her phone. The CD rips and Amazon purchases go to a folder on a PC which automatically gets uploaded to Google. She has 9500 songs and a 128gb card so there's no space issue. I have tried two plans but am not happy with either one. If you have any ideas I'd appreciate it.
Plan 1:
Use Google Play Music. The only way I could figure out how to get all of her music to her phone was to create a playlist that had every song in it and then click on the download icon. That works but it's static. Any new songs aren't downloaded and she must manually go in and download any new songs. That doesn't make her happy. (Happy wife, happy life.)
Plan 2:
Use any other MP3 music player. Lots of good choices out there. However, maintaining the music is a pain in the buttocks. To get the files there initially I just put the 128g chip in my computer and drag all of the files to the chip. That works. But I can't find out a way to get new songs onto the chip without manual intervention. I thought I could use a folder sync application but none of them have the authority to write to the external SD card (thank you Google) and new files won't get to the SD card without a lot of manual hand holding. That's a no go. I guess I could root and then use a folder sync application but this is her phone, not mine, and I'm not going there.
So, if any of you have any brainiac solutions, I'd love to hear them.

Have you played with Samsung link yet? It will allow you to link your (her) phone to your computer (provided it's turned on and connected to the internet) so any new music loaded on to the computer will be available to the phone.

I use iTunes and isyncr. Haven't tried it with an external SD but does what you want. Syncs just new tracks. Only had iTunes cause I came from iPhone but to me is the best for managing playlists.

I went with plan 1. Turns out that to download music a playlist can only have 1,000 songs. I created 10 playlist to get all of the filed to her phone. Sending new music is relatively easy as there's a "recently added" playlist to use to download new music.
Plan 2 doesn't work well as KitKat and external SD cards are not user friendly.
I use SyncMe Wireless to transfer all files to my phone anymore. You can set a schedule to automatically sync any file from a shared folder on your PC to any directory on your device (not sure about an external sd card, i just use the internal storage). It's worked seamlessly for me. I just drop files in my "Send to Android" folder I made on my computer and in the middle of every night it will check to see if files need to be sent over. It can work in reverse too and send files from your phone to your PC.
Here's the link to the app

It's nothing too flashy but it works very well. :good:
