Is there a way to transfer all my music from my itunes to the galaxy s3? iSyncr seems nice but gotta pay for it. If there isn't any other free way than I'll try iSyncr but for now looking for a free hassle way of transferring.

You can put all your itunes library into the Cloud with Google Music.

I'm pretty sure you can use Kies to transfer the files from your iTunes library
Kies worked fine for me..

I've used both doubletwist airsync (since galaxy s3 can't get into mass storage mode) and tunesync but failed to load my songs as both of them literally took nearly half an hour just to transfer 4 or 5 songs...
I've tried kies as well which worked fine but lost all id-tags (titles, artist, composer, and album art) and wasn't worth spending hours manually changing the tags out of the 10,000+ songs i have..
Any other methods exist lol?
Thanks for the help and feedback guys
Use an external SD card?

This is correct. I did it on mine. I never lost my tags.

Kies wouldn't let me connect same with double twist so I had an external micro sd card to just and used a usb adapter transfer my music and was all good works for anything to transfer to your phone and would recommend buying one as there is an extra slot not being used.

I used double twist and just put the SD card in my computer, not in the phone and it copied it over pretty quick, Id say 20-30min tops for about 9gig.(not sure I just started it and walked away) Then just put the SD in the phone, all good

I recommend DoubleTwist too, this is the app I tell iPhone users that I am able to convice to try Android based phones and none of them have had any problems using it... The kicker is, I've never used it myself! HAHA

I'm a converted iPhone/iTunes user. This is my first android phone. What's the easiest way to get my music out of iTunes onto my Galaxy?
Thanks.

If you just use google music and download the music manager, from there choose the file folder for your iTunes library and google music will upload it all. You can just use google music to stream only, or you can make it available offline and download the music

Or you can just copy and paste your music folder onto the phone.
Then there are also other sync options like DoubleTwist which is very similar to iTunes (don't use it myself but it's known to be like an iTunes for Android if you're into that sorta thing)
search for iSyncr in the Market

I just transfered my library like this, but the tags are all messed up. The tags are fine on my iDevices, just the Galaxy. Specifically the Albums are split up. They show up as different albums even though they have the same name.
Mine show up fine. Although I am pretty meticulous on editing my tags in iTunes. Could be that there are different entries for the Artist and Album Artist.
I just copied and pasted. The only thing lost from iTunes to the phone was album artwork. Which is slightly annoying but, something I can live with. I tried using kies to do it that was a mistake though.

I just switched over to CM7, and the same music folder is showing up fine. Maybe it was just the stock rom.

Yeah. I'd rather just use Windows explorer.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

Yeah windows explorer is the best way to go. When I tired kies it was.to see if I would keep the artwork. None of the tags stayed at all. So I had to delete and use windows explorer again.

I made a playlist for my galaxy in iTunes then synced the playlist to Doubletwist. It copied the playlist over minus some artwork. I've got the artwork now. All is well.

I use iSyncr, the best app you can get to sync all of your iTunes playlist (every single one off them). I also came from an iPhone and at the beginning had difficulty finding an app that would provide all the functions itunes had from the music aspect.
Try it.

Is it possible to use an external hard drive with this? Was thinking it would be a great to dump photos, etc to more quickly than using WiFi or MTP.
If so, what do you have to do, and do you need ext3/4 file system?
Thanks!

I'd like to know this also. I have a 1T external with all my media on it that would be very useful in long road trips or overnight stays for the kids.
Haven't done so with the 201 but an NTFS drive connected to the USB port on the 101 dock worked well. No reason to think it wouldn't do the same with the prime.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Oh hell yes!
I have the dock and I have the 1T external hd. I have done what you've asked about and it makes it so much easier than running it through the laptop or a pc. Just plug it in and copy/paste.
I mean, unless I don't understand what you are asking.....you don't need to do anything. the tablet is recognized as a drive, the external is recognized as another drive. I also have and micro sd drive inserted so when I went to File Explorer I just copied and pasted. Books and movies mostly. Most of my photos live in a cloud, so does my music. Of course I'll make some of that avl' offline.
Ok, how did you get it to recognize it?
I have a 1 TB Western Digital USB drive and it powered up, but it didn't do anything. I went into storage and it it didn't see it.
Have you tried using it on a "main" computer and access it via Samba, or hooked up to your router as NAS?
Sent from my HTC Inspire "4G" using XDA Premium App
Nevermind. I see that it just works. It didn't come up the first time, but reattaching worked.
It's mounted under /Removable/USBdisk1, next to the MicroSD card.
Works like a charm... Plug in the disk and you can manipulate the files and folders with just about any File Manager on your Prime. I actually like the Asus file manager quite a bit, though use ES Explorer also. I only have Windows file systems on my Usb Hard Drives, so NTFS and FAT32 will be just fine. I've never timed it, but I would guess that copying a GB takes a minute, plus or minus.

Ok, I'm curious.
I've seen this in kernels for phones where CIFS support is included, and I'm guessing you're alluding to that here as well. How do you actually use that with an Android device?

I have ReadyNAS, and can view into it at any time with my phone. I figured that there would me some version of "Connected Media" app for this device. Maybe there is something available on the market that can stream media?
I know with the stock HTC music app, I can listen to music streamed from my NAS.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
I used a program called Itunes agent...it should work as long as you can get the phone connected in USB hard drive mode. It creates a playlist in your itunes library with the device name and you drag the music you want into that playlist.

I'm an idiot when it comes to cloud storage. I have a bunch of music and I know it won't fit with the 16gb capacity on my DNA so I was wondering if there is a website or an app that will let me access all of my music from my computer on my phone?

I use BubbleUPnP to stream media from my pc. Works great with pix, music, and video. You need to install the server software on your pc to stream over mobile network.
Win7, media player 11 works great for me. I use MX player as a renderer on my phone. It has the best codec support.
There are several free cloud storage services but I don't know if you can stream to your phone from them

Google music lets you store like 20k songs for free. Also drop box gives you 25 gigs of storage although I think that might be only for verizon.
I use BubbleUPnP too. It is really good and easy to use.

How did you get 25 gigs for dropbox. I only have 3 1/2
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
When I opened drop box on my DNA I had to go through a tutorial and then I got the extra space. Not sure if its a Verizon thing or not.
I'm gonna look for the tutorial. I gained a little space (500mb) for auto upload but didn't see an opportunity for the rest. Will check it out

I don't know if this would be able to cover all of your needs, but you should check out Bitcasa. It's a new Cloud Storage service and I like it very much. You sign up and start off with 10gb free and you can upgrade to unlimited storage for $10 a month.
I use Bitcasa for my pictures and documents, but I use Spotify for music though... but I still hope this helps! :good:
Yeah I use Google music. Download the uploader from the Google music page and just start uploading your music then you can also redownload it later to all of your devices if you want to or stream it

Try Plex
Plex, app and desktop media server work well. I think the app is $5 but it works not only for music but you can access your movies, pictures, anything you upload to the app you can watch from pretty much anywhere. But for a free alternative, use google music.
I've been using Subsonic for a few years now. I have the Subsonic server installed on my desktop at home which allows me to stream all of my movies and music to my phone or computer. It was pretty easy to setup.

The dna does not have a dropbox promotion associated with it. You probably got it from a Rom which includes a promotion from a different device.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
No it has nothing to do with any roms. When I first installed dropbox on my DNA it had the 25gb bonus once I completed their tutorial. If you Google "HTC DNA dropbox" the first link from dropbox.com has all the details.

Yep, Dropbox 4.0/4+ bonus is not available for Verizon. Some people were able to get it from custom roms. I received a small bonus when i was on a custom rom with my thunderbolt so maybe that is why I cant get the second 4+ (25gig) bonus on my ViperDNA. You might be only able to receive the bonus (w/ custom rom) if you have not received any other sense bonuses in the past.
I My Google music uploaded on my pc stopped working and I get the couldn't connect to Google play. I have tried un installing reinstalling and disabling av as well as sent logs to Google and tried the access code and it still won't work. I have been working with Google for 2 months. So today I got an email and they have forwarded my case to a supervisor because the rep I initially got was horrible and they also credited me 10$ for inconvienece. Which is nice but it's still not working. I have had to transfer music to my laptop and upload which I use only for school so it's a pain in the butt has anyone had this issue and found a fix for it just curious because I don't think Google knows what to do.

Have you tried creating a second gmail/google account and using that for music? Your phone can have several google accounts setup. I have a google account with all my music synced to it; and all of my family put that account on their phone, in addition to their own personal google account. That way they have access to the same music, and we only sync the music from the computer to one account, instead of many accounts.
No my account is fine it's the upload program for the pc that doesn't work. It says it can't connect to the Google play servers so I can't even get into the sign in app...

If its just on the ipod and not in itunes then you are going to need to get the music onto you pc first before you get it onto the android. Something like "SharePod" i think it was called will let you do that. There are others that will let you pull the music out of an ipod backup also, I had mixed success with that. One the music is out, put it in itunes and then use either DoubleTwist or iSyncr to get it onto the android.
