Hi all,
I didn't see this posted, and I don't think this is currently possible (at least no application to do it yet, seems like with root we could do anything right??) but is there a way to transfer mp3 files to the watch? I don't use Google Play Music for anything and have all my mp3s on my computer and phone. This doesn't allow them to transfer through Play Music.
Any methods on how to put mp3s on the watch to enable listening via bluetooth headphones directly to the watch?
Thanks!
Use Sony's Walkman app. You should find a download link on xperiablog.net

Thanks dude!
So how does one actually transfer the files on there? Messing with the Walkman app ti seems to be just a music player. What I am hoping to do, however, is transfer mp3s onto the watch itself and play from it directly.. (such as not needing my phone when running).
Create new playlist. This can then be synced to a Wear device (over BT).
Awesome! Thank you! Working good from my note 4!

can somebody explain a way to do this? take out the m3u file from an itunes playlist so that my music on my galaxy nexus is organized..
Have you checked into DoubleTwist? I think that does what you're looking for.
Can you explain the problem a bit more? I just copy over my music and the Music app sorts it by artist, album, etc for me. (Actually it pulls it all from Google Music... uploaded all my music as soon as Google Music came out.)
DoubleTwist will pull in your playlists from iTunes and sync them with your phone. You'll need to use the DoubleTwist player on your phone too, though.

I use wifi tunes sync server from the marketplace, works great
Google Music supports playlists from iTunes and WMP.

I recommend this also. I was using iOs for years and had setup smart playlists based on ratings. iSyncr and its widget work well to keep that going.

Ditto on Google Music. The music manager automatically uploads your music (even adjusted music - album covers, renames, etc) as well as any playlists you make in itunes. That's the way I do it. Requires no effort at all.

this requires data if streaming and i dont think the music quality would be the same when uploading to google music and then downloading it back to the phone
theres no way of just taking a playlist from itunes and uploading it to your phone then taking the m3u file and just adding it to the same folder?
no, iTunes sync is DRM encrypted so you cant do it directly from what I understand.
You can try finding a PC based app but iSyncr is cheap and works great. It has a PC only app.
You could import your library to Winamp or other player and directly sync also.
Maybe you can fool iTunes into thinking your phone is a data disc and import music that way but that sounds like a lot of work.

I run into this... 90% of my library transferred to Google Music okay, the other 10% (especially my Lonely Island albums) is DRM protected and short of burning them to a CD I have yet to find something that will remove it on them. Doubletwist doesn't even see them (I put them all into a playlist by themselves)... More reasons to hate Apple (but applaud their ability to monopolize and make money)...
Needless to say, I haven't bought anything from iTunes since summer so I can avoid this...

As some others in this thread have already stated, the iSyncr app available in the Android Market can do what you want. It allows you to see all the playlists you currently have in iTunes and select which ones you want to import onto your Android-based phone. After you've selected which playlists you want it will sync them (and the relevant song files) to your phone. After that your music app of choice on your phone should be able to see the playlists.
I use an iMac at home with iTunes and have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and use the above scenario all the time to sync my playlists from iTunes to my GNex.
I use Google Music but if you want to sync your iTunes library or playlists, double twist is definitely the way to go. And it DOES play fine with the default Music app, it just mirrors your iTunes music folder to your phones music folder, which the stock Music app scans.

Sync with Google Music over Wifi, no data required when playing offline music.
Google Music doesn't do any transcoding if your music is in MP3 format. If it's in other formats it will do transcoding.
The Android Music player supports .m3u playlists, so you can export your playlists from iTunes in .m3u format, then copy the playlist to your phone in the same folder hierarchy, and the media scanner will then read the playlist.
Nevermind i found a way, isyncr wasnt working out for me on my mac (playlists werent showing up, music was getting deleted.. etc..) so i got this app from the mac app store called Playlist Export and it works great. Heres the link http://www.ericdaugherty.com/apps/playlistexport/

Wait, you have to pay to export your playlists from iTunes? It doesn't have that function built-in?
Unbelievable...

^ I think the app is free, so not AS bad. But this whole MTP thing is rough for Mac owners. I've been trying for a while to figure out a free way to get my girlfriend's playlists from her macbook to her GNexus.
I'm going to give that app a shot later today, but if anyone has any other good ideas (other than the wifi add-ons for iSyncr and DoubleTwist), let me know. I'd appreciate it.
actually, itunes supports m3u now.. just click file > library > export playlist, then choose m3u and add that too your music folder on phone with the music in it !!!!!

^ I was pretty happy to discover that earlier, and exported all the .m3u playlists to her phone via dropbox. I had all of the mp3 songs loaded for each playlist that I was going to transfer over, but when I opened the .m3u files, it gives me an error message saying "Error playing the requested track." I'm guessing the issue is that the .m3u file isn't in the same folder as the rest of the music files. If I used a file manager app and moved the .m3u into the music file, would that help?
Also, I have tried using doubletwist with airsync, which works for transferring songs, but doesn't give me playlists on her phone. I've tried dragging and dropping the playlists onto her phone, and I've tried letting doubletwist sync them completely.
I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point. If anyone has worked out any sort of solution with a Mac, please let me know!
Cheers
i use doubletwist, syncs everything
Hey guys. this is a pretty self explanatory question. I love Google music. I think the cloud service is stellar and I like the way it has ALL the music on my computer without ever having to put it on my phone. The only gripe I have is the music player. I like the player well enough but, im used to Playerpro and like the over all aesthetic value over Gmusic. The problem Im having is that there is no way to have my music that I say to "Make available offline" available on anything other than Gmusic. Is there a way to download songs and albums off Gmusic and use them on a separate player like PlayerPro? I know there is a way to move around files, but I already tried that and it was a no go.
Download it to play offline.
-or-
Try Cloud Music Sniper from the market.
There is some progress being made on unofficial APIs of Google Music: From Android Police

Downloading it to play offline does not let me use the music in anything other than the stock Gmusic app.
Just put it on your phone and be done with it!
Try looking for the downloaded music in /sdcard/Android/data/com.Google.android.music/cache/music

hi guys,
I'm on AOKP B31 with Franco r130 kernel
For some reason my music files will not show up in any of my music apps (google play or songbird.
I know the files are there and the only way I can get the music to play is to manually open the file through es file explorer and use the es music player. If I try to manually open the file and try using google play or songbird both apps will crash.
I've already deleted the one .nomedia file I saw in my music folder and rebooted the phone and I get the same problems.
If you need more info please let me know but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys!
*Forgot to mention that I've also tried reinstalling the music apps as well with no success.
**I fixed it. Not sure what was going on, but i took my music files out of the music folder, deleted the music folder, then created a new music folder, transferred music back in, cleared data for both music apps, and now it works. Not sure what was going on....
Try rebooting your device. If that doesn't work install winamp or poweramp to see if the problem exists there to.
Note: m4v or other apple produced media files will not be added to play music or google based music apps. Poweramp and winamp do!
If you love google play music make the music folder on your computer stream it's media to google play online using music manager and play it on your phone from the cloud.
If you like to convert your media to mp3, ogg or flac (best supported on android)
Use a free program called foobar. I like it because it allowes me to batch edit music tags in most formats, batch convert them and because it's free without needing to sign up for anything.

Thank you very much for your suggestions but I've already fixed the issue.
As I stated in my updated post above, it was strange because I had to delete the music folder and create a new one to load the files back into. After that it worked as normal. Never ran into that problem before and I never expected to fix the issue with what I had to do.
Again, thanks though for your suggestions!
ok, i really have the lg optimus L9 from tmobile. but no forum yet for the L9 so here i am. just got the phone and am new to andriod, have ice cream.
just want to play a frickin mp3 and avi files that are on the sd card. if i use file manager and naviagate to avi video, i see a small thumbnail. but when i try to click it i get 'try again after scanning media file'. no idea how to scan media files. navigate to mp3 and click get a choice of google play music or music player. music player gives me again "try again after scanning media files'. now all of a sudden the google media works for my mp3 - no idea why.
guess i am trying to understand how to scan media files. and which program will use the library, google play music or music player. and how can i play video. i am ok with even purchasing a player as i really like to play just about any format without having to convert. what is the player out there that will play the most formats?
thanks
For media searching use the SD Sync app from market. Works well.
where is the best place to go to download apps?
Google Play ofcourse
ok. guess i am trying to figure for now
1) if i copy a media file to my storage card, how can i play it right away, without having to update my whole library. i want to download, point an applicaiton to it an play it.
2) what is the video player that can play the most formats?
1)Open the file with file manager. I prefer the root explorer.
2)LG stock player supports everything, at least no problems even with .mkv packed files.
Oh, you got the L9. Not sure about yours but must be same i think
Also if the file was downloaded from web, you can select/open in directly in the download manager.
Just Figured this out M'Self
OK, just had same issue (same 'system message') trying to watch videos using the built-in Video Player. Maybe it was the first time I used it, but I was actually trying to figure out how to use the new 'Q-Slide' feature to watch a video while doing something else on the phone.
I actually pulled up the manual PDF (downloaded from LG, here), then <CTRL+F> (searched the document for similar system mssgs), and got a 'hit' on Page 49 of the OEM manual (my search, BTW, was 'media files'--'scan for' never found it).
You have to let the system do this for the 'FileShare' app also (I'm sure it's about 'indexing'), so I did, and it worked.
Not so much a 'system error', as a little 'systemic quirk' (much like a cosmic queef)
See attached JPG.
I'm looking for the best way to get my music from iTunes locally onto my HTC One.
Preferably, I'd like to remove the remaining DRM on my iTunes music, and let google play music do the rest (the only songs not on play are DRM-protected).
From there I think I'd just download the library and put it on my phone.
But mainly I guess I'm asking how to remove that DRM?
If you are willing to pay $25 for the year, iTunes match will allow you to download your library drm free. That is what I did and then used Google Music to upload to the cloud.

You can make mp3 versions of your songs within iTunes itself then put it on any device you want. That's what I do.
Go to iTunes settings/preferences then "general" then click the button that says "import settings" and select MP3 encoder. Save the settings.
Then right click the songs you want to convert and select "create MP3 version." You can either keep or delete the AAC version. I delete it because I don't want 2 versions of the same song.
I'm pretty sure it removes DRM... because once I do this, I'm able to do anything I want with it. Amazon cloud, google, etc.

Easiest way, use a music converter program to convert to DRM free MP3, then upload them to google music. I personally like the program sound taxi to do this, can queue up as many songs as you want, it will convert 8-12 at a time until they whole queue is done.

yeah I'm currently trying to burn my music to an audio CD to remove the DRM and re-ripping them to my library. I already did a quarter of my DRM music that way.
The rest of it is on google music.
But can I just drag the MP3s onto the phone?

Thats the more painful (and costs money) way of converting, but it works.
Yes you can just put the music on ur phone, I myself prefer to have it on google music... but I have unlimited data so it doesn't matter for me.
I use poweramp and it plays every song I have from iTunes.
