i've had my Thrill for 3wks now, and I'm going nuts now trying to transfer my music to the phone and keep the iTunes playlists and songs I HAD CHECKED TO SYNC but not the songs UNCHECKED i didn't want on my iphone...
Doubletwist doesn't sync the to sd micro card, only built-in memory, itunes agent was unsuccessful... what do you guys use, if not iTunes, to sync your music w/tags and album art and all? i don't put every single mp3 i own on my phone, so i don't want to hand pick individual mp3s out of my over 3000 songs to redo the album art and sync them one by one.
i love the 3D of the Thrill, can't get enough - but android and no useful way to transition music, photos, and videos is making me think about switching back... PLEASE HELP.
Try winamp it can import from itunes and will keep playlists, and sync to sd card.

Google Music
Download Google Music to the same machine that has iTunes on it. Upload the playlists that you want to have on your phone into Google Music. Install google music on your thrill. Select the playlist you want to keep available on your phone (rather than streaming from the cloud) and check the box that says "available offline" while you're connected to wifi and let it do its thing.
It works great for me, and also makes it so that I have 20000 of my songs available on every android device (or other computer) I use.

I feel bad that you've had to get used to iTunes. I've done it in the past and absolutely refuse to do it again. Such a pain the ass that program...
Google Music is very nice as it does most of the hard work for you as far as albums and renaming itself. It's also a lot easier to transfer what you want to a droid device. It's also very easy to dump off the device when compared to an iPod or iPhone.
I have an 80 iPod classic. I've never used a phone as a music player besides the occasional Pandora.
i use spotify on pc
I can't find it! Anyone can help?
The main list can only be viewed that way but you can make a play list and then change the order of the songs to whatever you want it to be
change the music app and get a decent music player (PowerAmp sounds like a good candidate) + extras!
In google music application chose folder instead of recent, etc...

So my PowerAmp trial expired and I'm too cheap to buy anything.
Are there any good Music player apps worth trying? What players do you use?
Hi,
I use PlayerPro. Like it a lot. The additionally DSP soundpack is great. Has a lot of features like lyrics, auto album art, import winamp stats, etc.
Give it a try...
might be a long shot, but for free players with equalizers, u can try blackbird and xplay music. n7 player is also worth giving a shot.
i personally use the Custom music player of supressed
PlayerPro is the best and the most beautiful one
Went with PlayerPro, definetly a well featured and pretty player. Thanks!
Since I do not demand much from the phone, I have enough and the standard player. And so, I liked Vanilla Music Player.
i also use playerpro..
but it's also a payd app...
until now the best music app i used..
MixZing is pretty good
Using it daily

i´ve been using ³ (aka Cubed) music player, i enjoy its simplicity.
but too each it´s own
I use default music player which also has equallizer. Who can tell me why some other players is better than it ?
I used the ics google play music with external eq until it started fc on me now I use player pro, tried power amp before but between the two, its a though fight.... but I like player pro you better its cleaner but if you talk about functionality its a toss up between power amp and player pro for me....
search button..... just do it.....
Oh the google play music shuffle function is better between the three I've tired imo
search button..... just do it.....
I use Double Twist player... and yes the description on the market is right about this. it's an iTunes killer but for android.

I once used it and it messed up E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G (SD card, my songs and even my Rom!)
I'm current using Power amp player, one of the best music player ^^
I'm using PowerAmp
I use PlayerPro w/ DSP pack but i thats because i cbf tring to find one that looks better. I reckon the ui is real ugleh but it has loads of features.
There is really nice looking one called ubermusic. It has undoubtedly the most amazing interface, completely customizable but i prefer the feature packed PlayerPro.
does someone else uses a good one besides playerpro or poweramp?
for me a music player must have the following features:
- an equalizer
- when browsing for music it must have the option to browse folders.
most music players have the option to browse title, artist or album..
My favorite is Rockbox. With Eq, Folder Option, and free =)

Hello,
I got Xperia X8 with Gingerbread in it, and I use Walkman as my main Music player.
My problem is that when I play music then change to homescreen or enter Facebook or anything else the music stops, and it won't play in background.
It also happens with the other music players.
Please Help !!
Rom ? Music Player ?

Maybe you don't have enough RAM to keep the music player in memory.

Due to lack of Ram , the Android system kills your music player to free some. Uninstall all your useless applications which might be consuming a lot of resources. Also opt for a light music player and a light launcher

I'm currently runnuing MIUI Android GingerBread ROM 2.4.20 and I must say it's simply the best ROM I've ever used. It's almost as if it was built with me in mind.
Fast, stable, easy to use and on the eye interface. Brilliant.
I've installed and run the ICS version and as good as it is, there's one thing that's missing: What happened to the music player's ability to play WMA files? I have over 400 albums that I've encoded in WMA format due to small file size (1/5 of mp3 filesize) and I honestly cannot tell the difference between mp3 and wma over my headphones and in the car. Any ROM tips and/or advice on how to do this avoiding 3rd party app like TTPod? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Mayby not the best solution but dude... WMA ? why WMA ? WINDOWS MEDIA AUDIO... WINDOWS... dude.. It's like making FLAC file from MP3, you CAN do it but WHY?!
I would go for MP3 using VBR which give you good quality and lower file size or lower the bitrate there is less problem with MP3 than with WMA. But it's your way to store music. And if you happy with that - thats great.
Did you try .. winamp for android ? --- oh, you didnt want 3rd party app...
Like I said, WMA was made by Microsoft which is close for community. So I doube there is a easy/clean way to play those files without 3rd party apps.
try other music player like winamph

Now your on ics, you can use the great apollo music player. Dont know for sure if it supports wma though.. but i gues it does. I'll post .apk file bellow.
This is stock music player from cm9. It is very good, downloads album covers by its self. It fully supports lockscreen control, notification bar control and widget control (apollo wodget that is )
Just give it a try, you wont regret it
P.s.1: sorry for bad english
P.s.2: hit thanks if i helped and apollo can play .wma files!
P.s.3: i'll upload file to 4shared, will post later this evening

4shared link to apollo.apk
Sometimes you have to wait 20 seconds, but ik hope that wont be a problem
Edit: just confirmed that when you download it via mobile, you will need to sign up. Via laptop browser is free and you dont need to sign up.

I dont get it, just because it isn't open source (why would you actually need open soucre music files....), they make a music player wich supports a lot of music types, but they dont let it play the world second-most used music file type... that sucks... but what can i do about it...
well there are other music players in the store wich are also awsome, like doubletwist player! I used it i while, before i got to apollo, i hop that solves your problem

Android and WMA
Thanks one and all for your advice.
As mentioned, my choosing WMA files is purely practical asI can store 4 times as many MP3's on my phone.
I had to settle for PowerAmp which not only supports WMA files but also seems to read all ID3 tags perfectly (on MIUI GB I had to download ID3Fixer to read artist tag).
I'm back with a quick update: Still no joy getting WMA files to play on stock music player on MIUI 2.8.10. I did flash King Soft 2.10.26 and though I did not find the ROM stable enough for me, the stock player did play WMA files (without ID3 Tagging as with older versions). I attempted copying the .apk into the .zip file before flashing but after flashing, Music doesn't appear as one of the applications. Apparently this may have to do with how system apk's are deeply embedded within the ROMS on JellyBean. If anyone has any advice in porting system app, (Specifically Music.apk) from JB to ICS, I'm all ears.
For those still interested, you'll be happy to know that the MIUI ROM 3.2.8 supports WMA playback. Kudos must go the the developers who knowingly/unknowingly fixed this issue. Unfortunately the issue of artist ID3 tags not being read persists but you can download the ID3Tag Fix app and it'll sort it out for you. I'm still using PowerAmp for this and my collection of now 4,500+ music files still fits comfortably on my 8GB memory card.
