Galaxy S2 & iTunes Library

[rabbitt]

Hey all,

I just switched from a HTC Desire to a Galaxy S2 (both of which are equally as awesome, but the SGS2 more up to date in specs, speed & support).

I have the urge to buy myself a 32GB MicroSD card and put my entire iTunes library on there... So tempted, but I want to get a few things sorted before I pay over 100 bucks for a huge memory card.

So here's my two questions:

1. I've put about 150 songs on my 8GB MicroSD (which won't fit even a third of my entire library) and I have had some trouble with artist & album names etc. - I never had this metadata problem with my HTC Desire, so has anyone else noticed the metadata not playing nice? Is there a fix?
2. Some people have mentioned 32GB MicroSD cards not playing nice with Android phones - any information on this? Best Class & Brand?
   

Thanks for any help, have a great day!

That was possibly the least helpful and most cliche reply I have ever seen on this forum.

I hope you're proud of yourself.

Only metadata issue I've had (this is on a Galaxy S1) is that when I've no embedded thumbnail it sometimes seems to grab a random thumb and associate it with the mp3. Kinda funny having a podcast from The Guardian which has a pic of some hottie in a bikini displaying whilst it plays.

I've been filling out metadata quite conscientiously of late and most thing have worked well for me.

No comments on itunes - avoid it like the plague personally but that is probably my anti-Apple bias showing.

I do understand the hatred for iTunes, it is terrible in so many ways, one of which being it's by Apple , but it's by far the most convenient way for me to get and play my music on my computer.

I was a little snappish this afternoon, my apologies Harvz. No excuses - it was rude of me, sorry!!

I think I'm going to just buy the card and then play around with apps that may get all my album artwork etc, if all fails, I shall spend many hours manually sorting 4300 songs and their metadata. :/

Thanks for your responses!

nah it was fair enough, it was a shit reply. was going to write more but then boss came over and just hit post.

as for itunes, I use winamp and its has a great app for the phone and wireless sync, there is also a one click import from itunes to get your libraries.
not sure how you have your music set up but i have it all in a folder called music and then sub folders inside that, then when i get more music just tell winamp to scan the music folder for new stuff or drag the folder into winamp and it adds it.

as for the SD card i have never used a 32gb in the phone but have got many cards off ebay and found the work really well, just saying this as they are around $50-$60. i got a 4gb that even shoots hd video without missing frames.
Im not sure where about your from but if you dont want to chance it on ebay have a look at computer parts stores, i know CPL has a 32GB sandisc for $85

Cat 6 & 10 have been $80+
