My current phone's headphone jack is broken, because of that I want to use my friends htc one. I used to own myself, but sold it a long time ago.
Anyway, I don't want to save my music on my friends phone. What I want to do is to open a playlist on my computer with a player like vlc or winamp, and then have the music play on my phone with the ability to control the current playlist. Is there a way to do this?

Is there any Developer working in a new audio player, with a lot of new features including just play songs from the folder you select.
I use my g1 on my car alot and the stock audio players sucks!
for example I can't play songs from a specific folder, the player takes all the songs from the g1 sdcard. the shuffle option don't work right I have about 1500 songs and it playes the sames songs when on shuffle etc.
I'm desperate for a new audio players with good features, specific to use the g1 as a real mp3 player, and for car mp3 play use.
TuneWiki perhaps?
^^^ I hate tune wiki. It never displays the right album artwork.
Hey there! Not trying to hijack your thread, but I got a quick question...I noticed that you said you use your G1 in the car. I have Ford Sync and I have heard the music/navigation broadcast over the speakers, but only when I was actually on a call. How are you connecting? Bluetooth doesn't work and I've also tried using the usb cable.
I also second your "request" for a new music player. The G1 is lacking in the music/video department. My boyfried has an iPhone and I just can't argue when it comes to the media part of the phone...my only argument is having to use iTunes.
Perrosky, have you tried aPlayer?
I'll agree with you on those points. I have a lot of poorly-tagged music and just being able to browse by folder/file would be helpful. Shuffling a folder would be nice as well.
I ended up creating a ton of playlists to accomplish this with the current players. Tunewiki is a step up from the bundled player, but it is still quite lacking.
Some other features I'd like to see:
1. Audio controls like EQ, Balance, etc.
2. Bookmarking. If I'm 15 minutes into a 30 minute audiobook track I'd really prefer to not have to remember where I left off when I start listening again.
I'm sure it is only a matter of time before somebody ports an open source audio player to Android. If they can do it for Rockbox, they can do it for android...

Funny it does for me. Best player out there right now. Coreplayer should be coming out with one soon for android.

AMEN! I Have been searching for a media player that could do that.
That is the ONLY thing I miss about my windows mobile phone is the windows media player!
I hope coreplayer can do this. Almost 80% of my songs are poorly tagged (ID3) and being able to play an entire folder would be perfect!
How are you folks organizing your music. On SD card, external sd card, in folders..all mp3s in one folder? Mines kind of mixed at the moment where some are organized in folders and others are just here and there. What are some good tricks to sorting out everything especially automating...Im not in the mood to creating folders for individual albums and artists.
I use MediaMonkey (free version). I create playlists and have it export the playlists to my sdcard and it creates the folder structure of \sdcard\Music\<Playlist>\<ABC>\<Artist>\<Album>\<Track>. I have it setup this way so when I use my phone on my car stereo, I can sort music by playlist, but also find the music I want to listen to from that playlist. It's not the best, but it works.
If you aren't using your phone to hook up to a car stereo or something, get btunes. It looks and feels like the iPod app on iPhone/iPod Touch and reads .m3u playlists.
Well my music collection is organized into:
\Music\<Artist>\<Album>\<Track Number> - <Title>
Ex: Music\Megadeth\Rust In Peace\01 - Holy Wars.mp3
So I just made a folder on the phone called Music and dragged and dropped the artist folders I wanted onto it. Simple.
I used MediaMonkey way back when once to get it organized like that, and now I just do it manually each time I add an album or two.

Why do you only suggest this one if you do not have your phone hooked up to the car stereo? Also, I'm curious what method you use to hook it up? I am thinking about getting a Captivate and using BT to connect to my head unit.

Meaning, if you were going to use it as a regular portable music device... at the office, jogging, etc, use btunes. If you are going to go bluetooth, apparently it btunes supports bluetooth commands (I don't have bluetooth on my car stereo so I haven't tried it).
I use my phone as a music device in the car via usb and at work as a regular music player with headphones. Using a 3.5mm audio jack sounds like crap with this phone so I stick with usb where the radio decodes the mp3.
EDIT: Just realized exactly what you were asking. btunes (for me) works the best because I come from having an origional iPod, iPod Touch and an iPhone. btunes looks and feels exactly like the ipod in terms of navigation.
I have always kept a meticulous Artist - Album folder structure on my computer (with the help of mediamonkey), and I run every new album through their auto-tag, so I can just drop anything on my SD card and the default music player does a good job with it.
I think I have found something quite interesting I just got spotify and was wondering how to convert the music to my ipod mp3 format. I don't believe they use drm.
Expiriment:
I played one song only.
I recorded the cached files size after the song was played.
Output:
I got 4 files that were each 1.3 mb each. I also download a ogg version of the song I wanted in 160 kb/s (correct me if I'm wrong I don't know the right unit)
the size is 4x1.3 = 5.2 mb and the ogg version I downloaded from the internet was 5.2 mb.
I believe spotify splits up the files and then puts them back together somehow.
Im no programmer just a redneck with alot of time on my hands when its raining. So is this possible?
Well the easiest way must be to record the play-back from the Spotify program/client with Audacity(GNU/freeware). In Audacity choosing the Windows Stereo Mixer as source.
Then export the Audacity files in any format of your own liking.
For further tagging and then transfer to your MP3-player.
Though. having a Spotify Premium account and a Smatphone (Desire HD) as a music player.
Gives me several playlists with some 1000 songs to play streamed over Wifi or 3G, and some 200 song off-line.
As a bonus I can use the same account on my PC (Not at the same time but with the same playlists) for playing Spotify thru the Home stereo amplifier and floor standing speakers.
PS. the DHD/Spotify is my music player at home and away, have hardly touched my CD collection since I got Spotify, still seldom over 4GB/month.
but the problem is I have over 1000 songs already (US User). and no windows computers. If you have the premium account and have offline mode could you go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage and get me the biggest file in there so i can test some more
I'm away from home, my summer vacation.
I believe cracking Spotify's music crypting will not be easier than cracking my Internet bank account.
The music companies would never allow their music on Spotify if it was easy to crack.
Here's my Spotify files on my Android DHD at least.
Phone/sdcard/spotify2/Users/Storage. The Storage folder hold some 900MB of data
Phone/sdcard/spotify2/username, Hold just a couple of MB
I didn't want to mess around in there but some hundreds sub-folders(00, 11 e1, fe etc)
If you got 1000 song to convert/pirate for your Ipod, you better get started.
Recorders for the Stereo Mixer(or what ever it's called for Linux and Mac)
you could try audacity like someone else suggested. or tunebite. it works in a similar way. basically, you record from the sound card but the soft cuts the audio files and adds tags to each of them so you get the full song in once piece. you can find a step by step description here in case you wanna give it a try. oh and does converting as well so if you need mp3 files, you're covered.
Old thread is old, and it's also a discussion about pirating music from a paid service, which is obviously a no-no.
Thread closed.
Hey guys
I was wondering if it is possible to listen to music that is downloaded directly from your phone and isn't just transfered from your PC?
It seems like if I download any music from my phone browser I can't listen to that music later as it says 'unable to play this type of audio file'.mp3).
Any programs to open it or android converters?
thanks in advance
Seems strange.
I've downloaded an album from the phone and i can listen it.
And, if the file is mp3, phone will play it.
Hi
My girlfriend has an android tablet that she wants to play music from, the music is on my NAS.
I use iTunes on my computer for editing audio files on the NAS , even my girlfriend thinks it's easy to use iTunes when you can have playlists and it is also easy to just select an artist or an album.
I have a lot of MP3 files and she does not want to listen to all of them.
So I need an app that plays MP3 songs from my NAS and you should be able to create playlists.
I have search google play and read many forum threads but found nothing.
My NAS is a LaCie CloudBox 4TB
Make suggestions and i will I test them
Nothing?
Have i put the thread in the wrong category?
