I have a Synology 207+ and need a music program on my TyTN II, that are able to access the share folder on my Synology and play the music. I have S2P which is great so I'm looking for a program like that.
As it is a NAS, I don't think it has streaming capabilities. You might want to use one of the following programs/plugins:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-network-folder-plugin-v1-0.html
HTC Network plugin (attached)
...
Use these programs to map the network drive which contains your music. This way you can browse to your music and play it using WMP (I think).
Good luck...
I already map my Synology drive with PPC total commander, so is these plugin then nessesary? I have my videofiles working with TCPMP already, it's just the music files that are missing.
if it only show video and not audio in the same dir mounted then it sounds like the audio is not in a format that TCPMP or whatever audio program can use
p.s. streaming is not the same thing as having access to files over a network
streaming is not realated with files on the clients end at all
Okay, let me elaborate. You're right I don't want to stream. I want access to the music folder on my synology and play it from there. I have it working with videofiles in TCPMP. They are two separate folders.
i'd asume you do it the same way
as a test you could try placing a single music file in the video dir and check if it shows up
Since you were able to find the video files, it should be no problem finding the audio files.
TCPMP doesn't show files with extensions it doesn't support. That seems to be your problem. Although it would have to be a really rare extension, giving the wide support of formats by TCPMP.
Can you see your music files when you browse to the folder using file explorer on your Kaiser?
PS: Just wondering: how have you managed to map a network drive using Total Commander? I didn't know the option existed (as far as I know, the option does not exist)
Does anyone know a way to "block" folders from being scanned (added to the library)?
The reason for this question is that I have my music in \My Documents\My Music & my ringtones in the folder \My Documents\My Ringtones
The problem is that wmplayer also adds (scans) the "My Ringtones"-folder and I was hoping someone could give me a HowTo to block it from being scanned....
It is really a pain-in-the-*** when playing "all music" as it also plays all the ringtones......
Thanks
as far as know you cannot 'block' files or folders from being added, but the best way i find to get round it is to make a playlist in windows media player on ur computer of the music you want, then sync the playlist to ur phone, not the individual music, then the playlist will show up in media player on your phone and play that, as the playlist will only contain the music you want and not other files that have been added to the library by media player,
hope this helps!

That's what I have done myself, but sometimes I get music, when at a friend or something, and want that to be played but it is not a two-step-way to add to playlist on the phone itself
FYI: In CorePlayer they do it in some other way (much better ) There you can set the folders you want to be scanned.....
Thanks anyway
thats ok, i tried!
the other thing i would have said would be to use the TD3D music player! as you can edit the playlists from the phone itself, then you could add files at a friends house, then add them to the playlist on the phone.

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.
Hi,
I am making a Foobar2000 control app by using the foo_httpcontrol add-on. I figured out how I can run certain commands, but I am completely blank on how to get information back from the server like playlists or current playing song. Does anyone have exprience with this on Android or knows how to do it on wp8?
Also: currently I am using a hidden browser for executing the commands, would it be better/possible to use webrequests or something for that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't say I could help you with foo_httpcontrol. I haven't used it that much.
I'd recommend using the DLNA plugin instead. Using the DLNA app made either by Nokia or HTC (it was that way with wp7, not sure on wp8) would be a similar experience to playing music that's in the music+video tab. Most DLNA apps have the capability to play music from the phone to another device, play music from another device and share it to a third device, e.g. Phone Music -> foobar, foobar -> WP8 -> Bluray player.
Also the album art will display if its in the same folder as the music (the dlna plugin on foobar looks for the folder.jpg first.)

Thank you for your answer, but I don't think that is what I am looking for. My desktop has a music collection that is far greater then the 32gb of my device, and the sound quality is a lot better as well. So I don't want to be streaming from or to my device. Also since my library has about 50.000+ songs I'd prefer to use my well known and set-up music player over searching through my windows folders.
I have seen a couple of android apps that control Foobar2000 by using the plugin I use as well, and they are able to get the song info etc. So it is possible, I just can't figure out how.
(I did download the Nokia Play To app, because streaming like that is also useful at other times )

Well most of my foobar collection are chiptunes, (vgm/sid/gbs) modules (mod, xm, it) and album in a single flac with cue files (flac doesn't always play, but mostly works) so I need it to stream WAV 48khz (its the highest I've tried) over wireless N using that dlna plugin. I have seen some foobar apps thats in the marketplace, but nothing that I'd seen work. Also somthing else that works, is the foo_touchremote plugin. It uses the boujour service (also in Apple's iTunes, but used in other things as well) and works simply with entering a pairing code.
If you still would like to use foo_httpcontrol, I'd ask over at http://www.hydrogenaudio.org.

That touchremote plugin sounds like it could be what I need, I will look into that when I have a bit more time. Thank you for the answers.:good:
