Alternative music sync - HD7 General

I am getting sick of having to manage music on the HD7 through Zune, and my normal media player recognizes it but won't be able to sync. So just a few days ago I went back to Songbird and my phone was quickly listed when connected to PC, and damn right no more using Zune for music videos or even pictures!
So if you want an alternative try Songbird, and it's a damn good music manager as well.

Keep patient because i already try to copy music file with mass-storage mode but that song wasn't appear in my WP7 and then if I back to copy with my Zune, that's song will be appear.
I'm so sick about Zune player too because sometime it wasn't complete information sync into my phone, some music was show "Unknow Artist" or "Unknow Album".. I'm nothing to choose unless I click on "Erase All content" in the setting and all the song will be name again will re-sync.
(Bu that make all picture from my camera gone too.)

Lucky you, doesnt here, the phone is recognised but unable to sync using it

Did you try manually throwing in songs or playlists to it? I should have mentioned, I also have the registry hacks for USB mode, so those reg settings could be the reason why it syncs for me then.

ahhhh music libary

Hi all,
got something that's driving me crazy, i can sync my music with windows media player fine and the music copies across as it should however when i come to play the music with touchflo 3d it only shows the first lot of music i put on.
I cannot seem to figure out how to refresh the libray on touchflo 3d...
does anyone have the answer for me?
thanks
If you tap 'Library', then slide accross to Albums... do your recently synced items show up there?
I am having this problem too
I cannot see any of my music in TF3D music player
no nothing is showing up i resynced all my music with media player and still nothing shows, it nows says no music found.
there must be a better way to sort the library.
there shouldnt be this hassle just to put music on the phone!
I think you require too much for a phone so cheap.
Try the advantage,or wait for HD.

i want your job if you consider this to be (a phone so cheap)
you get paid too much.
on the plus side to the normally challenged people out there , you have to update the library in windows media player, then go into library on touchflo 3D, select all songs and play the first track it then updates all the tracks for you.

Will
Delete Application Data/HTC/AudioManager/AudioManager_Eng.vol and do soft reset.
this will rescann your complete library.
i got the same problem and this helped
I still cannot get it to work - all my music syncs of from media player and I can play it on media player on the diamond but on TF3D it just hangs on Searching!!!
If i delete all my media and load 1 song it works fine if I do the above deleting of the HTC application folder but if I then try to add some more it does not work!!
Has anyone got this working? or is it just me?????

prob just you lol, works for me try this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397819&highlight=tf3d+music+albums
just add the music to internal storage yourself? :S works fine for me
nope didn't work...must be just me!!
I have moved to S2P but its a shame i wanted to use the built in stuff
I had the same problems too. Until I read and followed the instructions for adding songs and album art and updating the library on TF3D.
Now for the enchilada!! Does anyone know how you can update windows media's library (once you have added more songs to the Diamond from PC) and set it to search in a particular folder instead of adding all the media files on the phone(tomtom files, alert & warning sounds and the like) to your music library. Only solution thus far more is to delete these files every time i update, which is now getting a bit tiring .
Any help or suggestions welcomed.

Windows media player auto sync, how to disable?

I'm running windows vista, and i've really starting to get annoyed by this auto sync prompt that windows media player does if you have it open. I'm not sure if you guys have run into it, but if i'm watching a movie, or video in WMP on my desktop, and i connect my device to sync or charge via usb...it minimized the video and switches to the sync tab. is there ANYWAY to disable this so wmp does nothing i've search around and can't seem to find anything.
Well I'm not totally sure, but I know in Vista if you go to the Control Panel and go to Auto Play you can disable some things.
I'm in the same boat simbadogg. Still looking for a solution. Will post if I find one...
yeah, i fixed that a while ago...u can change it so when you sync your device, it doesn't have the lil popup come onto the screen (when you normally insert a cd, usb drive etc...the ones that ask you what you want to do). So that was easy to take care of, but it looks like microsoft thinks that every storage device wants to be synced w/ WMP. gahhhh'd...idiots. well, i guess i'll keep searching.
I think it should solve it if you disable media sharing in the PC Windows Media Player options.

media sharing has zilch to do w/ wmp and its syncing. i have it on now since i got my ps3, but this has always been a problem even before i had it on.
Disable WMP sync
I have disabled the Portable Device Enumerator Service and it seems that this autosync (and WMP remaining "alive" in the background) has now ended.
No secondary effects detected.
Think it is one more of those Services that Microsoft activates by default and we have to turn off so our computers can run Vista.
Thanks for this info. I stumble upon it and it does indeed help.
Cheers,
NTD

Transition from iPhone/iTunes to LG Thrill - not going well...

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

[Q][CLOSED]HTC Sync Manager & Music

Hi all
Just got new HTC One and lovin' it!
It was a tough decision moving from WP7 on a Titan but I'm generally very pleased.
The one thing about WP7 was it's synchronisation of everything without effort.
So my issue is that it would appear HTC Sync Manager is not up to the same spec as Zune when it comes to syncing music.
Don't get me wrong I can manage with WMP12 probably but I still can't buy tunes in Google Play Store on my phone and have them automatically sync to my PC music library.
HTC Sync Manager doesn't even accurately reproduce my PC music library. I have a playlist in WMP12 with 219 tunes in it and HTC SM sees only 134 songs in the same playlist. I have another playlist with 12 tunes in it and Sync Manager sees none of them!
Am I missing something or is it just how it goes?
I've done some searching of the forum but don't find any answers.
I've found out that HTCSM needs phone to be in USB debugging mode and Window 7Home 64bit needs it out of debugging mode otherwise it says it's disconnected. All seems a bit hit and miss to me.
If anyone has any tips I would love to hear them.
Thanks for listening.
Hi, seems you have the same pain as me.. i come from iPhone though..
While reading your post I could not help but think that Winamp might be the solution. It's able to index your library, from WMP as well as iTunes.. and has mobile sync capability (music only) .. I don't know if it works both ways like you describe ( download music from phone)..
Some apps let you make backups of music ( sandisc memory zone ) which might get you some of the way..
I'm new to android so I'm guessing here.. will listen in if someone else had all the answers

WinAmp
Yeah, I had a look at WinAmp but didn't see a way to sync both ways. I'll have another look.
I'm probably one of the few who doesn't care about any form of sync cos I'm a little OCD in that I need to know where each and every song goes so I manually transfer them over xD
But yes I do know that Android doesn't have a fully featured sync/backup solution.

The only way to get purchased music from Google Play onto your computer is to download them on your computer via either the Music Manager application (which I believe will only download your entire library... a bit bandwidth-heavy) or to load up play.google.com/music on your PC and manually download the files there. This is a Google Play thing, not an HTC thing. When you download music from Google Play on your phone, it doesn't download as a simple mp3 file. It'll be something like 12812814581271.dat. You could probably rename the file to an mp3 and it'd be fine, but good luck figuring out which song is which.
Google Music Manager
Thanks craigOr, I'm trying Music Manager out right now. It might do the job, we'll see!
Google Play Music Manager
Music Manager works for me. Synchronises whether music purchased on home or mobile web, Also has option to locally cache tracks played on mobile device.
