in my innocence, i just dragged my itunes music folder from mac to sd card

works, sort of, but...

sgs2 music player - no easy way to transfer playlists, won't use exported .m3u ones

try winamp - can handle .m3u playlists

both - many tracks losing artist name and/or album names and/or album art, there's also a non-ascii character encoding issue

it's clearly not happy with me just dragging the music files from the mac

i've browsed umpteen forums, threads, reviews of music players, it hasn't filled me with optimism

anyone with personal experience of the best music player and sync method for someone with a huge itunes collection?

i'm after three basic features...

i) play music

ii) import playlists

iii) retain details such as artist name, album name, artwork etc.

happy to pay for the right app, but i'd like to be sure i'm not wasting time/money on something with 748 features i don't want, but that can't do the three basics

There's a small synch program that you can install to synch with iTunes... I use "3" (cubed, not Three) for playing my music but I don't use playlists so I'm not sure if they're supported or not. There's also a version of the Windows phone music player out there called Fede's Music App which is quite cool and minimalist.
