Not because it is a habitual tune it stops being more true: the mobile phone stopped being a mere telephone long ago. Among the devices that were pushed into retirement with the introduction of intelligent functions in this type of terminal are portable music players "" the commonly known MP3, said soon and wrong "". And is that smartphones have, at least, a system that allows us to listen to music in a variable number of formats, depending on the power and profile of the phone. The Samsung Galaxy S4Being one of the top-of-the-range references at the moment, and a firm candidate for mobile of the year, it turns out to be one of the most complete that we can find on the market. That is why we must not stop enjoying your multimedia player, especially if we want to have many discs and music playlists. Let's see how to configure these to have our favorite music at our fingertips.
First things first, and to be able to define playlists we have to have the necessary raw material, in this case, sound files with the songs that are going to compose our playlists . To do this, we can connect the Samsung Galaxy S4 via USB to the computer and wait for it to detect it as an external drive "" in case of using a computer with Mac OS X, we would have to use the application to transfer files from Android "", so that we would only have to drag folders with music files or each track individually to the folder that interests us. There is another method, but we will see it later. For now, let's stay with what we have moved to the Samsung Galaxy S4 the songs we want to make up our playlist.
Once we have what we are interested in in the memory of the Samsung Galaxy S4 ”” or in the memory card that we have installed in the phone ””, we open the application that we will recognize with the brief name of “Music”. If the files that we have transferred to the mobile contain ID Tags with information on the tracks, the Samsung Galaxy S4It will present them indexed according to various criteria: albums, artists, songs or folders. We will see these sections in some tabs presented in the upper area, where we will also locate the one that interests us at this point: «Playlists». Click there and, if we have not configured anything yet, the system will propose four criteria to automate the task, depending on whether the tracks are marked as favorites, are the most played, we have listened to them recently or have recently joined the phone.
But if we want to do it manually, what we would have to do is go to the «Songs» menu, press and hold one of the tracks and, when the pop-up menu appears, select «Add to playlist». This will take us to another menu, where we will see the already configured lists. In case it is the first time that we carry out this operation, we will be able to open a new list, which will then help us to gradually incorporate all the songs that we want to group.
And we said that there was another way to do this task. Let's go back to the step in which we connected the Samsung Galaxy S4 via USB to the computer, but instead of using it as an external drive, we are going to resort to the Kies desktop application. This program is an assistant similar to iTunes for iPhone. In its menu on the left we find an option that allows us to compose the playlists from the computer, so that when we synchronize data with the phone, it loads the new information without having to explore among the options we have described.
