Best practise to transfer and manage music to my L...

Hi,
First of all I'm not new to Nokia, I've managed my Nokia N8 through Windows Media Player and it was rock steady.
Now I've got the Lumia 920 and I've used Winamp, Windows Media Player and recently I've tried the official "Nokia Music Player".
Winamp:
- Sometimes when I transfer playlists or songs, it fails transferring it. Probably due to that Winamp plays everything (downloaded) and even with bad tags.
- You don't know how the music will be displayed on your device, like album artist or album and album artwork doesn't always comes through.
- If something fails and you transfer it again, you get doubled songs.
+ Great UI, quick and if it works it's baddass
Windows Media Player:
- Don't like the media library and changing details it's a hassle.
- Album artwork doesn't always comes through.
+ Very robust syncing! Even with playlists
Nokia Music Player:
- Doesn't show some mp3 files, which are playable in WMP, Winamp and even on the phone! You need to import these files separately, but after a refresh these are gone.
- Focks up your created playlists in WMP or Winamp.
- Does strange stuff, like copies track (which are transferred) back to your PC in his own directory structure
+ Shows the best what's actually on your phone
+ Gives an actual presentation how it will be presented on your phone. E.g. if some details(album art) aren't right in the library then they also won't be right on your phone.
So like above, no product is perfect. I haven't tested Zune or Itunes, so hopefully other users could post their experience.
I guess there are more posts like this one, but the problem with searching like "nokia music player" you get results which aren't related to transfer and managing music.

Connect the phone to the PC. Open the folder you want to copy using windows explorer. Copy music files. Right click & select send to Windows Phone. For help regarding Playlists go to the link below:
Playlist WP8
Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.

    I recently had to get a new hard drive on my computer.  I reloaded iTune to the new computer and would like to transfer and manage my pics, apps, music, videos etc but not all the materials transfered.  I clicked transfer purchases but none of my albums transfered.  I also cannot manually manage my music, apps, or videos with out syncing my itunes and deleting the current content of my phone which I don't want to do. Help!

    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

  • Best way to transfer and delete all project related files?

    I want to work on a project while at school and home.
    1. Is Media Manager the best way to transfer everything I need from one mac to another?
    2. Is there an automated way to delete all of my files from capture scratch, etc. on the school mac when I am done transferring everything to my disk? I would like to make sure no one else can access those files, though I do not want to delete anyone else's work.
    Thanks.

    Go get yourself a big, fast portable firewire drive. Plug it into the school computer. (make sure it is properly formatted first!!!) Navigate to your project's capture scratch folder. Drag the folder to your hard drive. When it's done copying, open as many files as it takes to satisfy you that it has copied successfully.
    Then drag any photos, music, narration etc files to the hard drive. Finally, copy your fcp project file to the hard drive.
    When you're SURE you've got everything successfully, un mount the firewire drive. Then do all the above again, but this time drag the files on the school computer to the trash and empty the trash.
    All this assumes no other twit captured into your folder, but hey what the heck, live and learn.

  • What's the best way to transfer my iTunes music from windows to mac?

    I ordered my first Macbook which will get here on Monday, August 13, 2012. This is my first Macbook so I need a little help transferring my music over to my new laptop from my current Windows laptop. Is my best option just using home sharing? I did a Google search which turned up home sharing but I wanted to come on here to see if it is in fact my best route. I'd like to transfer all my music (2500 songs) with the album artwork and info I've entered. I'm a little picky about my music so I'd like everything to transfer over. Thanks in advance.

    Reading that article I have just one concern. In the notes section it says,
    "This process will create a new user account on your Mac to contain the Windows PC information that is migrated over.  It will not merge the information with an existing user account on your Mac."
    I don't want to have two accounts that I have to switch back and forth between.
    You don't have to switch between accounts. Just use the new account.
    If you start up and then add a new, 2nd account with the imported info, you can just use this new account. Either keep the first account as an admin user or delete it.
    If I do this the first time I start the computer will I be able to have just one account?
    Yes.
    I have two accounts.
    One only for admin stuff and another for my regualr, day-to-day use.

  • How do I transfer and download music onto my Iphone from my new Macbook Air?

    I just recently got a macbook air. I tried to transfer music that was on my phone to my new Itunes library and redownload all of the new music I recently downloaded to my computer. It starts to process the request, gets to stage 2, finishes stage 2 out of 6, n then the processing stops on the computer and "disconnects" my Iphone from my computer, but still processes on my phone. I left my phone plugged in for 4 hours to see if maybe it would finish processing but it didn't. That is when I finally gave up and shut down my computer and unplugged my Iphone. I tried it for the second time, and continued to do the same thing. Please help me!!!

    Hi applenewbie11,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Congratulations on the purchase of your Macbook Air!
    You can only transfer music you purchased on your iPhone 4S to your new computer.
    The article has more details and screen shots, but the basic information is quoted below.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    If you want to transfer iTunes Store purchases from an iOS device or iPod to a computer, be sure to authorize the computer before connecting the device. After connecting your device to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, go to the File menu, then Devices, and choose Transfer Purchases from "(Your device name)".
    Or, you can Show Sidebar from the View menu, and then right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your device in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library. Please see this article for more details.
    Your best bet is to copy your Music folder from your previous Mac or PC to your new computer and then sync it with your iPhone.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Best approach to transfer and transform data between two Oracle Instances

    Let me first preface this post with the fact that I am an Oracle newb.
    The current problem I am trying to solve is how to quickly transfer data from a customers legacy database into a new normalized destination that is modeled differently than the legacy data. So, the data not only has to be transferred, but also transformed (into normalized tables)
    We have discovered, the hard way, that reading the data using a C++ application and performing inserts (even with indexing and constraints disabled) is just way too slow for what we need. We are dealing with around 20 million records here. I need to determine what the best approach extracting this data out of the source and inserting it into the destination. Any comments or tips are greatly appreciated.
    Note: I have read about SQL*Loader and mentioned it to management, but they seem resistant to this approach. It's not totally out of the question though.

    Oracle has a lot of technologies that fall under the general heading of "replication" to choose from. Going from a database to a flat file and back to another database is generally not the most efficient solution-- it's generally much easier to go straight from one database to another.
    Oracle provides materialized views, Streams, and Change Data Capture (CDC)-- any of these would be able to give your new system incremental feeds of data from the old system's data and could be used by whatever routines you write to transform the data between data models.

  • Best practises for Hub and spoke Metro Etherent network

    Hi there,
    It is my first MAN deployment. I will use the 6513 as the core switch and the 3550 as the edge switches to the customer.
    The customer has 9 locations. The customer asked for interconnection between the 9 locations and his Data center in his HQ.
    Additionally his Internet connection is at the HQ too.
    What is the best practice to architect this solution addressing security? How I deploy VLANs (like one vlan for the internet, one vlan for each department, one management vlan. Etc)
    Any advises

    Hi Sam,
    Let me add my two cents here, when speaking about MAN deployments the name of the game is MPLS, so I guess you are using the same on your Cat 6500s and connecting your customers on 3550s using Vlans.
    Regarding your questions:
    a) Upgrading Ethernet to L3 for traffic shaping: This is basically done at 3550, so I suppose that's what you intend to do, plus you will be letting Spokes talk to only Hub site, so inter Vlan, atleast between Hub and each spoke will be required, hence inter valn routing. Other way is to configure P2P circuits between Hub site with Vlan mapping (per spoke) and Spoke sites with Port mapping, in this scenario Inter Vlan routing is not a necessity.
    b) Security: This depends on what exact architecure you have deployed, in my case I have simply installed a Gateway router with BGP peering with PEs, a separate VRF alongwith redistribution does the trick.
    Hope I addresses the query correctly, let me know if that helped..
    Cheers

  • Best practises regarding Internal and External access to SIM

    Currently we have two separate Active Directories one internal and one in the DMZ and plan to have one SIM on an segmented network allowing access for our internal users directly to SIM UI and external users thru portlets that talks to SIM.
    The external AD hosts some internal users that also needs access to the DMZ applications so we can save efforts in managing to separate SIM environments in development, tests, upgrades, unique UID etc...
    What are the best practices on the market is this a preferred choice with only one SIM or with one SIM internally and one SIM in DMZ hosting suppliers, customers etc?
    With a single SIM environment are you allowing internal users accessing SIM from Internet to change internal AD password or have you restricted the functionality in some way for internal users accessing SIM from internet?
    How about challenge response questions are you allowing users to have the same both internally and externally or setup different for different user interfaces?
    Anyone willing to share how your environment is setup for internal and external access?

    Yes for handling the access to the SIM we probably need to look into some kind of access management solution to get it to work in a secure way.
    The question is a bit complex with many different factors controlling the outcome of the SIM implementation, but I hope to get some idées with this thread of how we can solve it.
    The question still remains if its common to have one or to SIM's and what internal users is allowed to do in SIM from Internet.
    Ex are internal users allowed to change their password in internal Active Directory thru SIM from Internet or what have others done to limit the functionality?

  • Photos- best way to locate and manage (Help!)

    I moved to a Mac Pro with the idea that it would be a great computer and help me manage my tens of thousands of photos.  I tried to import my photos from an external drive and it failed multiple times.  I started using iPhoto and Picasa to manage new photos taken but when I went to send some to my family I couldn't find the ones I imported into iPhoto.  After a lot of trouble I realized iPhoto hides the files from you. So I think I exported them all and then I think maybe I found them and moved them to my master repository but then I found thousands of files in the trashcan that I couldn't locate either on my MAC or my external drive. I have no idea what is going on but I'm now very concerned that I've lost photos. I really resent iPhotos heavy handedness in photo management and thus don't want to move to it anymore- I might go back to a PC after this laptop because i can't find files in general and I think the learning curve is too great for me.  So my questions are:
    1. What is the best way to manage photos in the interim, while I still have a  MAC but the bulk of my photos are on an external drive?  Will the MAC let me save future pix directly to the external drive? Or should I do all photos through a PC
    2. Is there any way to expose the iPhoto files in finder?
    3. Has anyone use Picasa with success on a MAC? Am I right in thinking it only stores local photos if you edit them in Picasa? I am having a lot of trouble FINDING photos in Picasa- esp ones imported from my iPhone. It's nice that the mac imports "new" iPhone photos but I can't find them again so that is not so nice.
    4. Is there a duplicate detector people recommend? I have made a royal mess of my external hard drive of data as well as this MAC trying to import, find and recover pictures and data.
    I am extremely frustrated and i would appreciate any help.  I don't have a ton of time since I work full time and have three kids and I basically have done no photo sharing or editing in the 6 months I have had a mac because it's too confusing.
    Amy

    That's exactly the sort of crafty workaround I like. I didn't know they were all tagged, but that would definitely work. I'd still love a dedicated app that did it really well, or more love given to that side of things in iPhoto. iMovie is too hefty for just managing them.
    Is iPhoto properly built to handle management of iPhone video, by the way? I didn't want to use it because it didn't seem like it was, and also because I sync my iPhoto library with Dropbox and video would more than treble the size of the library so I manage it from the Finder mostly, importing clips to iMovie if I do want to edit something (rarely).

  • Best way to transfer and organize iTunes library

    I am moving from a Macbook Pro to a Mac Pro. On my Macbook Pro, I recently realized that I had been manually organizing music in folders, and then adding them to iTunes (dragging and dropping), which would copy them to the iTunes folder. A bit redundant.
    On my Mac Pro, I have a specific HDD that I would like to use for iTunes. I have the iTunes folder from my Macbook Pro, as well as another iTunes folder from a different computer. Both have folders have been organized by iTunes, but I am not sure how best to combine them for the sake of neatness.
    I just went into iTunes preferences and changed the media folder location. Should I also check the "copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" box?
    How do I have everything stored on the specified HDD in a single, organized folder, without it copying everything to an iTunes folder in my home folder?

    bump. Anyone know?

  • What's the best way to import and manage iPhone video?

    I don't really want to use iPhoto for importing video - it doesn't seem like it's built with that in mind even though it's the default option for importing both photos and videos. It doesn't have very good (if any) options for filtering just videos or just photos, either when viewing or importing. And I don't want to have videos all jumbled in with photos in my iPhoto library.
    I also don't really want to use iMovie every time I want to import videos. I know it's designed for video, but it's far more of an editing app than a management app and I don't want to be editing all my videos or loading up iMovie just to browse them.
    I considered Clipstart but it commits a cardinal sin when it renames all my videos in the Finder to a sequential numbering that begins at 01.mov for each new day, creating hundreds and thousands of identically titled movies in the video library, albeit in their own folders, but chaos if you want to search in Spotlight or anything.
    So I'm left with Image Capture, which gives me complete control of what I import and where it goes. The problem is that it too doesn't offer a filter for seeing just the videos or just the photos on my iPhone. My photos are all being imported automatically by Photostream so I only want to grab the videos. If I set 'view by width' it seperates out the videos because they have no width tag, but then they aren't displayed by date order so I can't easily find the new videos I've not imported before.
    So... what do you do?

  • Problems restoring and managing music

    hi,
    when i connected my ipod 30gb color photo to my computer to put songs onto it, i got about 1,500 on and then it stopped putting songs onto it and told me that the ipod was "corrupt". when i disconnected the ipod i could still listen to music, but could not put more music onto the ipod. i then restored the ipod "using the same software already on the ipod", then tried to put songs on again and the same thing happened.
    can anyone help me?

    Try this:
    1 - Open up "My Computer".
    2 - Right-click on your iPod, and click on "Format".
    3 - Select the Format type to be "FAT32".
    4 - Now click on "OK" to begin the formatting process.
    5 - After the formatting is complete (it might take a while), make sure to restore your iPod again in iTunes, to load the firmware and settings back onto your iPod again.
    See if that does anything.
    If that does not affect your "corrupt" message, try running ChkDsk on your iPod, and see if it says that there are any problems with it.
    For information on how to run chkdsk, see this MS document on it:
