Hi Gang,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and two days ago I bit the bullet and got a 128GB card. I see it as a true convergence device now.
But I have a problem.
Up to this point, I already had a freaking mess on my hands with the music I had put on the 16GB card, in the form of album art showing up in my (images) Gallery, confused and disordered ID3 tags, really had a lot of difficulty finding what I wanted to listen to on the phone. Making a playlist is easy enough. But scrolling through 10,000 songs is not going to be my cup of tea.
People and ID3 tags... mother fuck... it's like the monkeys on typewriters idiom. Once in awhile you get coherent set of tags for an album and you don't need to touch it. Most of the time it's:
Artist: "DATPIFF PRESENTS MUTHAFUCKIN LLYOD BANKS SHEEAH"
Song: "www.datpiff.com - 2012 - Speakers on Blast Remix Ft. Skyzoo and Maino"
Seriously. A lot of my recent collection is entire albums. Until about 2010, I had collected music the old fashioned way (ripping CD's, etc), which I went to great lengths to groom and order for my iPod classic. Anything newer than that is, for the most part, a god damn mess.
Now I have a two-fold problem on my hands. Renaming the ID3 tags and coming up with a good system for cleaning up stuff I get in the future.
Also, I depend on iTunes for my podcasts. Don't know why, but I prefer to get them on iTunes and then sync them to the iPod and - if I remember - drag/drop them onto the phone via USB. If anyone knows a good way to sync iTunes with their Android.I have used Podcatcher for my podcasts but I just don't find it particularly reliable.
So, in closing, does anyone have a big card and a method for dealing with storing their entire music collection on a modern Android phone, and managing Podcasts? If so, could you share your wisdom? As much as I wish it is easy to just drop the files on the card - that makes such a mess, that it almost isn't worth it. Like going into a fight without a plan, I am about to get my ass kicked unless I am careful.
Thank you,
