ok thanks for the help

I have my music in individual folders on the root of my SD card and the music player picked them up on its own.

I created a folder on the root of the SD Card called "Music".
the music player automatically finds them.
I sync my play lists from iTunes using DoubleTwist.

[REQ] app to browse and open files on PC

By far the slickest way of controlling media on your pc or xbox1 or Linux box...
Install XBMC
Get XBMC remote from Google Code
It's superb.

Playlist oddity, any thoughts?

Hi:
Since the AT&T Froyo update, I am having odd music playlist problems. I am using the stock media player., and all music is stored to external SD card.
When in the song list, to add a song to a playlist, I hold down on the song, and select add to playlist, and then choose the playlist. It does not ever show up in the playlist I chose. This is the same way I have always added songs, only now it won't work.
If I go to the appropriate playlist, and remove songs via the menu button, and then add a few songs, the changes work properly, EXCEPT after the phone is turned off then back on, the changes disappear, and the original songs that were removed are still there, and the songs that were added are NOT there.
Any thoughts on what is causing this? I am desperate to fixe this. Every time I want to listen to music I have to go in and add/delete songs, which as you can imagine is hugely inconvenient.
Any thoughts will really be appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi again:
I just tried using PowerAmp music player, and the same problem happens as with the stock player

Bump.
This is really a huge problem for me, any suggestions would REALLY be appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you had this problem on any custom ROM?
CM7 Inspire 4G

Hi:
Thanks so much for your reply. I have never flashed a custom ROM. I can however say that I did not have this problem on stock 2.1.
Thanks again!

I actually had this problem on a few roms I was using. A reinstallation of the music app seemed to fix it. In this case, a reset may help unless you want to root and remove/add the app back in the system/app folder.

Hi:
Thanks so much for your suggestion.
I am already rooted. Do I actually go into the system folder and remove it, paste it somewhere else, and add the same app, or do I need to find a file of the music app online to replace the original?
Thanks again!!

That's about it. I'd cut and paste it somewhere else just in case then move the new on in. You can probably grab the app from a lot of ROMs that use the Samsung Music Player or just search for it somewhere. It should be called MusicPlayer.apk

Great thanks!
One last question. Do you think this would affect the proper functioning even in Poweramp, because this problem is occurring when I use that also.
Thanks again!

Custom Ringtones

So, I was looking in the phone and I've yet to figure out what the issue is. I was always able to transfer ringtones(.mp3 files) to all of my Samsung phones(Vibrant and Infuse) without issue; however, when I try to select one on the Thrill it won't allow it or sometimes states "Device does not support this Content for ringtone Assignment."
I checked the actual ringtones folder and it contains .ogg files; however, merely renaming the extension .mp3 to .ogg doesn't produce any results(in that the phone still responds the same way when selecting them). I'm not certain if there would be the necessity of a converter for the files, but I don't have access to computer that I could attempt to convert them on.
So! I suppose my question is what formats the Thrill will recognize or allow for use as ringtones outside of the preloaded few and what method I would have to go about using to get them to work. I've tried using a "ringtones" folder on the sd card and a "ringtones" folder in "sdcard/media/audio" with no results.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The thrill does accept mp3 as ringtone it has to be under 300kb I'm pretty sure. It might be the way your mp3s were encoded I wpuld try finding a ringtone under 300kb and around 128kbps encoding see if that works.

I use ringdroid from the market it's free and super easy to crop your mp3s it takes like 20 sec. hope it helps

+1 for Ringdroid.

I appreciate the input and I'll take a look at the file sizes. I'll also take a look at ringdroid. I have to admit that the battery life on this phone seems to be atrocious though.

RAZR i: PC Software for Media?

Hey can anyone recommend good software for managing media? I particularly want to transfer photos easily. I have a program for music, but I'm open to recommendations. I know that Samsung has Kies and Sony has Media Go, both are useful. Does Motorola have any official media software?

Try AirDroid. The transfer is over wifi and you can transfer almost everything. Besides it is a file manager, ftp server, system manager...

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm really looking for PC/laptop software, I find it really easy to manage media from there. I see Songbird will only connect in Mass Storage Mode and Songbird is OK for music but not pictures. I'll find something eventually!

Is Motorola Motocast acceptable http://www.mymotocast.com/download

Hi, that software looks PERFECT. I tried it with the RAZR i and it won't set up at all. I have everything installed but cannot manage media let alone sync anything. Is this software compatible with the RAZR i?

Well according to the download on Play it says not.
You mentioned Medio Go so presumably you also use it? You can copy your photos etc in to Media Go and simply select your folder/s from there and select “Add to” Your phone will then show up as “Unnamed device” with the sub-options of moving them to internal or external memory, or you can simply transfer them directly from your pictures folder. No offence intended but I don’t see the problem.
This is my first Motorola (and also Android) phone, but they sure don’t seem too concerned about providing PC media management.

How about google Picasa?

No worries, I get it; if you have use for something, you understand, if you don't need something, you won't understand. A few of my other devices (Apple and Sony) allow for quick and automatic movement of media from A to B or vice versa just by connecting the devices, I'm looking for the same now. I've been using the 10 camera shot per second feature and the photos are really stacking up. Drag and drop is a bit too 1990s for me. I've uninstalled Media Go now, I thought it didn't even recognise non-Sony devices? I'll give it a go then, if you say it appears.
True about Motorola and PC management, everywhere related to my phone it directs me to Motocast. I emailed them and they said the RAZR i is not compatible. Nevermind, I'll find something.

All I’m saying is that you can transfer files/folders via Media Go using “Add to” on right-clicking in Windows.
Whether this is the functionality you’re actually looking for I’m not sure but it works for me. I’ve used it to transfer a couple of albums and a number of tracks over (although my Walkman is my main portable music source), and after reading your thread I thought I’d see how it works with photos and no problems.
Just tried it out with iTunes but there doesn’t seem to be an obvious way of doing the same: there may be,but I can’t be bothered to find out!

Thanks buddy, I appreciate your help.
For music, if you do like iTunes, I have a recommendation. There is an app called iSyncr which allows you to copy any lists in your iTunes directly to your phone. If you use their Rocket Player to use the music, it will update your playcounts etc. Music at least, I've got covered! :good:
