Google Music - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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 use windows media player.

Media monkey, hooked up with Monkey Tunes...

Cloud storage: Amazon for Android, iTunes Match for iPad.

This. iTunes Match is pretty amazing too, 2 bucks a month. CHEAAAAP!

Do you have the Google music client installed on your computer? I can organize my cloud music fairly easily using the client.

[Q] Syncing iTunes with Nexus

I know there are threads about this but has anyone found a definitive way to sync their iTunes playlist with their Nexus?
Seems like another great advantage of MTP. DoubleTwist, Easy Phone Tunes Plus, and Media Monkey have not worked for me.
Google Music has synced my library for me. I even have it in the cloud!

I wish they would support Lossless and all would be well! I'm too much of a nazi about my music quality for Google Music to be effective for me.

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.

SiriusXM app is pretty good, as long as you have 3G & unlimited data.

Alternate apps for Google Music

Hi
I just got my Galaxy Nexus yesterday. I was going from a phone that had an sd card slot that I could put my music on. I figured I could live with the less hard disc space because I can stream my music from Google music.
That seems to work fine, but the music app is a little light on features. It's not horrible, but coming from Power Amp, it's a little basic.
Is there any other apps that can stream from google music, and have more features, like EQ and such.
Thanks
Wich app...do u need man

Google music still has a private API, so no other app can stream from it.

Ok, thanks for the replies
If you use iTunes too, try double twist. Features are alright and it syncs with your iTunes musics including the playlist that was great coming from the guy who had iPod touch. You can also sync it via wifi but that's extra 5 bucks...

An unofficial Google Music API has been out for some time.

Google play music has a EQ of sorts when playing a song tap the settings dots then sound effects. From there you get a 5 band EQ bass boost and #D expansion thing.
you can use different music managers with google music.... i.e. DSP manager, vodoo etc.

No apps stream from Google music. The api isn't avaolable. So your only option is the official app

I found Google Music to be very lacking. I uploaded all my music to Amazon and haven't looked back since. Best cloud player and music store for sure. Plus, if you buy just one album per year you get unlimited music storage free (no yearly fee)

Air twist/double twist
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.
Edit: get yourself off the apple teet.

awesome! done and bought! just the job!
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.

Best Music Player for N4?

Which one do you use?
Moved from Google Play to Player pro to Winamp and now I've settled on Poweramp. I've seen some of my friends with a player called "noozy" that is very reminiscent of the Zune library software and I would love to try it out but I can't seem to find it online at all.

Google play , since its compatible with syncing play count s with iTunes by using isyncr.
If it wasn't for that I would use noozy or ZPlayer.

I use the stock Google Play Music (via WiFi), I've only got 1 MP3 on my phone which I use as an alarm and don't use it over Mobile data, I also use TuneIn Radio Pro to listen to radio (obviously) and podcasts.

I have Noozy on my phone, it was included in some audio mod I downloaded ([MOD] [N4] BEATS+XLOUDER! 4.2.1 [07/12/12] JB Louder Audio Improvement Patch) for my device - not sure what version/build it is, it just says Noozy Studio 3
I used Noozy now and its great but I have a problem. It shows my notifications and ringtones. How can I hide them?

I'm looking for a music player that will let me make play list by genre from songs on my phone and my Wi-Drive and not the web. It seems all of the players are only for use with the web/cloud. Any recomendations?

No but I use Google Music to store my music. Then use Cloud music importer to import what I want onto my device, and use whatever music player to scan and play my selected stuff. I prefer Poweramp.
I actually use CloudAround. Since the Nexus 4's internal storage isn't all that big, I use several 50 GB Box accounts (that also come free with this phone) to upload all my music to. This allows me to have as much music as I'd like with my Nexus 4.
I used PowerAmp (with the Holo theme!) previously however. Its a fantastic music player if you don't want to use the cloud.

Download the free app "simple last.FM scrobbler" and log in with your last.FM account then it should sync play counts after that .
