How do you handle your music? I've got a pretty big collection and I use google music most of the time, but some of my flac files have trouble loading on 3g. So i started putting most of my music on my phone, however, I do have some albums that have individual jpg files for album art and are showing up in my gallery. I read that theres a way to actually embed the art into the file itself to prevent it from showing in the gallery? Do any of you use Media Monkey to handle and sort your music?
I use a program called Mp3Tag. It works well.
Here's the link: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
+1 for mp3tag. It's awesome. Fixed my entire mp3 collection with it and Monkey before uploading to Google Music.

Hmm, I deleted all my jpg files that I had, did you fix each album separately or did u just do them all at once? Is it worth making playlists too?
That looks like a great program!
Anyone on OS X know of an equivalent?
I use media monkey and mp3gain before I put them on my phone. They work fine in poweramp, no problem with album art.

No there us no Mac version of it. I'm forced to tag my music in Windows then transfer them over to my laptop I use for DJing.

Bummer
I saw there was no Mac version of the specific program, I was just interested in a utility that would do the same on Mac.
Years ago I used one but I cannot remember the name. This isn't the one I used but I might give it a go tonight.

I use Media Monkey. Best app in existence.
I have about 19000 tracks on a synology ds211+ running twonky server and use media monkey over smb shares to manage it all. I have one share I dump all my purchased mp3 in. Have media monkey scan that share when I start it up. After I make sure it's all tagged properly I auto-organize (move) them to the share that Twonky sees for music. Keeps Media Monkey from having to rescan the main library since it's kind of large.
Works for me.
Edit: yes, I ask media monkey to store all art in the tags. And I delete the image files afterward. Amazon mp3 has their stuff tagged so well I never have to do anything more than auto-organize it.

wait, does media monkey auto tag? I just spent hours manually tagging each album (120+) with mp3tag
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Monkey will use parts of the existing tag and search for the rest (including covers). It's not pure auto tagging but it's better than manually doing it.
It's great for finding covers. I use Mp3tag when I want to manually embed a better quality cover than what monkey finds. ...or for tag cleaning.
But for mass album tagging, I use monkey.

Hello guys, I'd like to stream music from my home server(linux based) to anywhere I am. Basically I'd like the streamer to allow trans-coding on the fly in case I'm on an EDGE network. And one more thing, I'd like it to sort by Album and allow searching. The sorting by Album is what put me off from using subsonic and twonky didn't have search.
Tried this solution here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800589&highlight=vlc - or check out Remote Media from the market, is a server and client for Android DLNA

The problem with Audiogalaxy is that uploading my collection will take forever, I got about 80GB of stuff.
Anyway, I'm creating a modified API for subsonic such that it'll allow me to sort by Albums and Artists.
Is ORB a possibility?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Orb doesn't got linux version plus it had some other problem I can't remember for some reason.
Anyway, I made slight adjustments to subsonic api so that it'll have 3 folders(Albums, Artists and Genre) and display the respective items in them. Was easier than I though(~2 hours).
How do you guys organize your music on the computer? is there a program ala iTunes where you can create playlists, organize band names, song titles, etc, and have all that translate over to the GN?

I hate iTunes but use it because it syncs with TuneSync (which syncs my galaxy nexus and my tablet installed in my car when i get home)
I used foobar for a while but missed recently added playlist, and it was very hard for me to get used too.
I don't think this thread should belong in a Nexus forum. But to answer the question, Foobar2000. Second is Clementine.

Yep! Same here. I have all of my songs on iTunes and all my music on iTunes is automatically updated to Google Music. Best of both worlds.
I use Windows Media Player at home to listen to my local library. Pandora when I want to listen to something new. And I use Google Music when I'm on the go.

Airdroid allows you to wirelessly connect to an android device through a Web browser and manage/upload to it.

The doubletwist solution is great but if you don't want to spend money non it then you can use win amp on the PC along with win amp on android to do the same thing.

Airdroid will do what you are describing.
If you are wanting to listen to your music just load it all to Google music.

Isyncr is my preferred app.
+1 to iSyncr, very easy to set up and get running and it's worked flawlessly for me so far. I hate that I have to go through iTunes at all but that's just how it went for me back in my pre-Android days, but iSyncr really worked very well. Well worth the 3 bucks.
Hello all, I have recently been trying to stream media to my note 2 via some sort of cloud storage. I have been looking for a way to use my phone to play movies I have stored on Cloud Data such as Dropbox. Dropbox does not allow you to stream data past a certain size so I cannot play any file that is longer than a couple minutes. I would like to stream this data to both my note 2 as well as Transformer infinity. Can anybody help me with a cloud storage that supports streaming? Or even better perhaps an app that will allow me to stream this data.

I use Plex. I know it's not cloud storage, but it works too well not to mention. You install Plex on your PC and point to your videos, music or photos. Then install Plex on your phone and you can now stream everything. Clean user interface and great support.
Will try it thanks!

quote from their description.. "UPnP Media Server: play your local phone/tablet media to other devices or to your Android device (standalone media player). Browse and play your local phone/tablet media from other devices (PS3, WMP, ...). Able to browse the SD Card. Google Music and Dropbox streaming supported"
Avia supports streaming directly from dropbox, although admittedly I haven't uploaded and entire movies just home videos. Also RealPlayer Cloud and Google Photos will let you stream. I have been using google photos and with the new pricing plan you can get all your movies on the cloud pretty cheap. The best way in my opinion is to hook up a hard drive to your router and stream from there using any UPnP app.
