Took some video at a club last night. It's saved on my device as an MP4.
Even though I have it set to record audio as well, I can't seem to get audio to play when I watch the video in windows media player.
Is it possible the audio was recorded, but I just don't have the correct program for it to play properly?
When I copy to my PC via activesync, what program can I use for an MP4 file? Winamp and windows media player will not play the file.
thanks, I realize these are kind of newb questions.
I use Nero Showtime ... for some reason, quicktime will not play these MP4 files ... they may be formated differently.
Thanks. Are there any freeware options for playing these videos?
I wonder if this is related to the video driver issue.
download Videolan or also called VLC. Its an excellent standalone program that does not require any codecs. Its free too.
Hallo, I have problem with file association for HTC Audio Manager.
When I set .mp3 [audiomanager.exe "%1"] in Advanced Configuration Tool (File associations section ) and launch .mp3 file example from File Explorer, Audio manager run, but without playing. On screen is old mp3 file from previos playing...
When I set .mp3 back to [WMPlayer.exe "%1"] and launch some .mp3 file, Windows media player run and play .mp3 file which I select. It is correct.
I need to run .MP3 file and launch and play it with Audiomanager, not WMP.
Help me, please.
you don't need to associate mp3s unless you want to associate a certain program to play it while browsing in a file explorer.by default audiomanager will detect the mp3 in the library and should play it back with no issues
Thanks for replay. Unfortunately, I need to associate MP3 with Audio Manager.
I use pRSSread for downloading and managing podcasts. When I run podcast from this program (it is same like run from File Manager), only WinMedia play podcast correct. Audio Manager open itself, but do not play selected file, see my previous post. :-(
I want to play MP3 from pRSSread on Audio manager. This program is more comfortable, powerful volume, nice bar on HTC Home, display MP3 tags, ...
Is there anybody, who can run MP3 in file manager and Audio Manager open and play?
It is strange, that I am alone with wants of this function...
Thank you!
Nope you're not alone. I just stumbled upon this thread searching for the exact same answer for the exact same reason... this problem is so freaking annoying. I'd rather have it launch into HTC's Audio Manager because I love the UI compared to all others players I've used. Plus I can turn off the display, and it keeps playing, if I could figure out how to make Windows Media Player do this instead of stop playing the podcast than I might settle for that as a work around.
Another annoying thing you may have noticed is it doesn't support PLS files either.

I fully agree with you... after hard resetting my P3300 Audio Manager is not able to find any titles to play! I spent a long time playing with playlist editors and trying to copy music files to almost every location but it still does not seem to work. I read it does not play files which does not have id3 tags and also it plays files only from device - not the storage card. Further analysis could get me the real cause of the problem but I am already exhausted. Any help guys? Do drop me a note please
Hi,
Is there an audio player which plays MP3/WMA files and keeps the Folder names as albums. Lots of mp3 files do not have correct album/genre records and thus the files get categorized incorrectly. The only thing is the folder name. So the player be able to just look at the folder name as the album name.
Recommend apart from the one's mentioned below.
HTC Audio Manager, Windows Media Player, S2P (didnt like the User Interface)
You're probably better off fixing the tags on your mp3s. There is a great windows program called mp3tag that you can use to fix the album/genre/etc tags.
Once you have them properly tagged you'll have no more problems and you can use whatever player you want.

This is just so painful. Can it just tag the album based on folder name automatically. I dont want this task to be manual. I keep on updating my music.
Download MediaMonkey for your PC - This can Auto-tag your existing collection using the internet.
Hello Everyone,
sorry if it has already been discussed before, i really searched for this in the forum, couldn't find it.
Does anyone know what playlist formats are supported by the Samsung music player in Galaxy S?
it doesn't support .m3u whereas many other music players ( in the market) support this!
there is nothing as visually pleasing and comfortable as the samsung music player (Things should change with Gingerbread)
Also, can we use the default android 2.2 music player in an .apk in 2.1 galaxy s?
why i am asking for this is, its a big pain for manually adding the playlist in the phone. there should be some way to create the playlist in the computer and sync both playlist as well as songs to galaxy s.
i have tried isyncr , media mokey and double twist, nothing works!!
I have found a dirty tiresome work around for this.
This is for guys who have 100s of songs with playlists sitting on either itunes or windows media player!!!!
Sync each playlist from computer (i do from windows media player), select all the songs visible in the phone and create a playlist.
open the playlist tab in the Samsung music player -> edit the recently added playlist (default one) and clear the songs.
Sync again with a different playlist and select the songs in the recently added playlist (newly synced songs will be here now). manually select all the songs here to create a new one.
I saw Btunes music player and few others to provide support for .m3u playlists along with nice lock screen music controls.
btunes is the only slick player apart from samsung player to provide iphone style music player.
I've been fighting and fighting with this for 3 days straight now. I really like the music player and want to use but lack of "normal" playlist support is killing me. I even created a playlist so I could take a look at the file but I can't find it. Where the heck does it store it's own playlist files??
Hi guys,
I have no idea where the playlist files are saved.
Community help is needed badly for the list of supported playlist formats.
worst case, we have to manually make the playlists the hard way.
From "Unoficial Samsung Galaxy S Facebook":
Samsung Galaxy S You can use your Windows Media Player 12 to transfer your Playlist and song to your Galaxy S. This is good because WMP's Playlist also readable with original player.

I don't have Windows so I can't confirm if this method is working on our Galaxy. But I hope that there is a way to convert m3u playlists to wmp12 playlists anyway if that's true.
If you connect your Galaxy S in MTP mode, it will sync playlists from Windows Media Player.
I remember that my playlists used to sync but then I wiped my days and forget how to do this...will try again tonight using the method you suggest. Thanks!
solution
for playlists use isyncr to sync..................it had synced all my playlists to the galaxy s music player from itunes
dont know where they are stored but titanium backup can backup and restore them
Well, I tried titanium 3.5.0 backed up a playlist I created in sgs, then I deleted it from the stock music player and from music playerpro (I don't know why didn't delted from teh other when I deleted from the first one), then made a restore playlist with titanium, but there are no media at all in the playlist. I really would like to know how can I backup the playlists. At least until we get a good froyo rom
Turns out the playlist is in xml format. I exported a playlist from iTunes in xml format and dumped it into the galaxy s SD card and boom! it shows up in the stock music player!
xml did not work for me?
After attempted the suggested method above, by:
1) Connected to windows vista on my laptop in usb mass storage mode
2) Exported two playlists in xml format using itunes
3) Copied them to the "sdcard/Music/Playlists" folder
They were not visible in the stock Music Player in my Galaxy S vibrant with the eclair.uvji2 update. If it is of interest, I did sync the files using Windows Media Player. However, both wmp and itunes are using the same file structure, playlists and id3 tags.
syncing with windows media player does not give the playlists...
using playlist creator, i created m3u playlists copied the mp3s and m3u to the music folder and it works...but it's gonna be tedious...
Edit:
FLAC (done manually...)
1. Drag flac files to Playlist creator to create m3u
2. Copy and paste the m3u and the flac files into a folder manually
3. (app to properly read FLAC tags) Download extended media scanner
Mp3s (Since I don't like using itunes and I use WMP instead)
1. Create a lot of playlists in windows media player
2. Import over to doubletwist on PC
3. (Not sure if you need this step but even if you do, there's no need to touch it after installation)) Install isync on your phone '
4. Connect your phone on mass storage
5. Sync the selected playlists on your doubletwist with phone, playlists will all appear in native player.
All these done without using itunes Although technically, doubletwist is based on itunes =X
you are wrong i have manually put the .m3u files on a newly flashed phone which has the songs on my sd card.. it does not work..

I guess it is program dependent, the m3u created by playlist creator works while those by wmp 12 didn't work.
And oh, might want to try install isync

Why don't you post the contents of one of your m3u files that works?
Ok, I tested with and without isync and looks like isync is required for galaxy s to recognise the m3u
can someone give this a shot so that the default music player can read m3u playlists? Method 1 has worked for me so far on 2.1 while I'm trying it out on 2.2
Method 1
FLAC and mp3s (done manually...)
1. Install iSyncR
2. Drag flac/mp3 files to Playlist creator to create m3u
3. Copy and paste the m3u and the flac/mp3 files into a folder manually
4. (app to properly read FLAC tags) Download extended media scanner
Method 2
Mp3s (Since I don't like using itunes and I use WMP instead)
1. Install isync on your phone
2. Create a lot of playlists in windows media player
3. Import over to doubletwist on PC
4. Connect your phone on mass storage
5. Sync the selected playlists on your doubletwist with phone, playlists will all appear in native player.
Use a m3u in combinaison with a playlist copier
My reply may come a bit late, but hopefully it can still be useful. I've discovered a freeware yesterday, called Amok playlist copy, which run super nicely. For those who used or use Itunes, it permit you to select all the song from a playlist, and copy them automatically to a folder ( then you can send it to your phone), along with the associated m3u playlist.
You have to drop the playlist file into the directory media/playlist on your android phone ( mine is SGS-1), and then you can drop all the associated music file in a folder, either on your phone or sd card ( you can also add subfolder as far as i know, without any problem). That way, you don't have to you use Itunes for fast transferring of every song in your list. Actually, i'll keep using something lighter, like VLC to do the job, after I realized that only Itunes seems to be able to copy the original files to clipboard.
As I said, the software is freeware, and i don't know of any other similar alternatives. Would be nice to stumble upon an open-source alternative.
So I decided to start using my phone as a music player and transferred over a few albums that I'd ripped to itunes. The M4a files came over fine as did the album art but not the artist. The real problem is the player won't play the files. Says file type not supported.
I'm using or trying to use the stock player. Any thoughts or guidance?
My searches just found some Galaxy Tab references so I'm asking here.
