Hello, just bought the One, and it's awesome.
Just one thing is bothering me.
On the old phone i used sync toy, to sync my music. This doesn't work because Sync toy doesn't recognize the device.
I tried with htc sync manager... It's weird and I don't understand it.
Anyone got a good music sync solution or how to set it up with the htc sync?
I want the music in the music folder on the phone, the music is in my dropbox folder...
I did something and it made a folder on the phone called mobile and then a lot of subfolders to the dropbox...but that wont do, i need the music in the root folder... and also it synced all the junk with it (ringtones, notification sounds from the zedge app)

I have a T-mobile wing, I'm using WMP 10 on my laptop that I sync up my playlists thru WMP sync. I have also taken the SD card out and sync up thru my card reader on my desktop. I always get the songs sync'd to my card, but the "playlist" is not there. I got ONE on my phone on accident, don't have a clue how I did it, haven't been able to do it again.
What am I doing wrong? This seems like it should be a pretty easy thing to do and it's getting VERY frustrating.
Thanks
Dump WMP and use the HTC AudioManager. You won't have to worry about a playlist since it gives you a very "ipod" like interface. Unless you really want the playlist, in that case, unfortunately, I can't help you as I don't use my phone for music much and thus never bother setting up playlists.
As great as it is, the Hero is always going to attract comparisons with the iPhone. Both have their merits, but one area the Hero lags behind the iPhone is music management. The ease with which iTunes syncs music to the iPhone (or iPod) is a breeze, and I'd like to see the same with my Hero. Is there anything already, or does someone fancy coding a Windows program to do the same?
you can copy music just as files to your sdcard. although i would not call that "syncing" it is IMHO the best way there is, as it is portable to most devices and operating systems out there. don't know the result, but this topic was discussed already.

Try doubletwist.
Just like iTunes, imo

I uninstalled because I didn't want to sign up for another service.
Winamp
You can use the good old Winamp to sync music to your phone, pretty much like iTunes.
I use Salling Media Sync . With it I can keep using iTunes and more or less sync my music like I used to.
Edit: I see no real need to buy the program. The free version works well.
I am using SongBird + Folder Sync add on. But it has some bugs for now.
Doubletwist is No. 1.
I tried doubleTwist, but it doesn't update tags after I edit them, so I switched to SongBird.
Do you use FolderSync or other add on? FolderSync gives some errors. And my problem with the SongBird is it can watch only 1 folder, but I download music to 2-3 different folders in 2 drives.
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.
Has anyone come across this problem recently?
I have been happily syncing playlists to my sd card via musicbee on my pc for ages now. Flashing Rom's on and off with no issues (currently on Crash rom v10.1plus).
Suddenly my music all went to pot. So, I have done a clean install of my note (formatted everything) top start again.
Now whenever I sync my music I don't get the tags accross onto the phone. In other words I get "unknown" Artist/Album etc.
I have tried musicbee (which I have used for ages without problems) and now mediamonkey to see if it was musicbee causing the problem. It's the same whatever windows software I use to sync with.
However if I just copy and paste one of my music folders it all appears on the phone fine. This method isn't really a useable one for me as I have an extensive music collection thet won't all fit on my phone so I like to sync playlists so I get my favourite subset of my music at any one time and can change it as my mood changes.
Anyone else noticed this and/or have any idea how it can be fixed?
EDIT: Just noticed that If I sync an album manually the tags go over ok but if I make a playlist of the same album and sync the playlist the tags don't go over??
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.
