Syncing music

What is the best way to sync music from PC to the phone, not via itunes. When I selected the PC under connected media in the music player it says I do not have the access rights for the selected server? Weird. Anyone have any ideas

Have you tried htc sync?

Thought there maybe a decent app to do it over Wifi that someone has found. Found Simple Sync, but doesn't seem to be transfering album art, neither does HTC sync

Have u tried double twist player? It has air sync ...

There are a lot of options for Windows PC, but still can't find good one for Linux. I have OpenSUSE based HTPC and the only feature missing is a sync

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

Transferring music from iTunes

As a noob to Android as well as the Atrix HD, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether I have to convert the mp4 music file format iTunes uses to mp3 before I use Welcome Home to transfer the music. I'd like to do this in one swell foop if you know what I mean. I also have no idea if I can transfer the ring tones I made in iTunes to this phone and if so, how do I do it? My phone will arrive today and I'm so excited to finally leave Apple and the closed OS ecosystem.
Also if anyone has any tips early on, I'd love to hear them. ATT has some good tutorials and the Atrix manual seems good too.
Thanks.

Have you looked into doubletwist?

Download Google music on your computer and sync with iTunes and boom music.. I have 30gb of music without having one song on my phone

My laptop runs WinXP and I installed Music Manager and it seemed very buggy so I couldn't upload my iTunes. I also installed Double Twist and it easily imported my iTunes music but all the files show the lock (DRM). Are you saying that once Double Twist is installed on my phone that the Atrix running 4.0.4 will play the music without any problems? I was looking at the online manual for the phone and I see that Moto/ATT offer the Welcome Home apps for both PC and phone so that also may be the solution. I'm just trying to figure out if I need to convert the music files in iTunes from mp4 to mp3 so that they will play on the phone.. Any ideas?
Thanks folks.. much appreciated.

Google Music and Chromecast

To be honest I haven't really messed around with Google music to know its capabilities, but maybe some has a straight answer for me.
My friend has apple TV and I am trying to see if I can do the same with Google music and chromecast.
I have a ton of music on my PC which is connected to the same network as my chromecast and my phone (when on WiFi). Is there a way from Google music I can access the music locally from my PC and play it on the device that my chromcast us plugged in to?
I do not want to have to upload all my music to the cloud for this to work. I just want to play it locally.

I don't believe there is a way to do that with Chromecast. However, if you have a smart TV there are other ways to link your PC to your TV over your Wifi connection.
But may I ask, why you wouldn't just upload your music? Sure it's a pain the ONE time you have to do it, but after that it's all gravy

B/c it seems like a pain. Lol, I guess maybe its worth doing. What's the limit on Google music?

20,000 songs

Hopfully Chromecast will one day allow casting of locally stored media.
Until then you can cast music from your PC via Chrome browser.

I uploaded my music collection a long time ago. Google music is awesome because I can access my music from anywhere. If you are worried about not having internet access just hit the button that stores the music on your device. Download enough songs to hold you over until your back to internet service.
When I download new music on my computer, its instantly uploaded and available on my devices and I don't need a massive amount of storage on my device.
Google music works flawlessly with chromecast as well. Now I can sit outside on my patio and run the music from my phone.
And yes if I want to play something local through chromecast I just stream it through a chrome tab.

Works great with Google music all access.

How do you do this from a PC. The only way seems to be to cast the Google Music tab..

HTC One bookmarks and spotify music

I own a macbook and have a lot of bookmarks on my safari browser, lots of them contained within folders. I used my mybookmarks app to transfer them to my htc one but they are just in one massive list, no folders, i was able to also import them on my google chrome browser, but same thing, they are still in a huge list.
Is there anyway around this?
I also have a spotify account, how to I transfer songs to the stock music player app on the one....?

Anybody know...........

Dont know about the bookmarks but with Spotify you dont own the music, you stream it with the ability to download tracks on the premium version. Download the Spotify app from the Play Store and log in using your account and youll find all your playlists are synced. It integrates very nicely with Sense and the lockscreen so acts pretty much like the HTC Music App.

I have the premium version and yes I can download to listen offline but would just be nice r to transfer them to my music
I presume if I cancel Spotify my downloads are still there

No, you lose them. Spotify is a rental service.
