how do uuu music???

i've got my library. mostly 80's. had it for years. long before laws. but everytime android updates their os. i lose a couple more. it's all there. on computer. but the android play only see's about 70%.

so how do you get your music to be recognized. that you've had for years. and how do you get your newer stuff to play.

don't play with itunes. the times i have played with it. it didn't have most of my music. not that it matters is i don't own and never intend to own anything apple.

so, what do i need to download my music for android. that android is gauranteed to see and play. now and in the future. cuz you know, the hits just keep on coming.

it do't have to be software that has transfer capabilities. copy and paste is no big deal to me as long as i'm not on windows 8. which can't recognize my note 2

 

i'm sure it has something to do with the laws that weren't around in the beginning. you know, digital rights management and piracy and all that crap.
remember napster?????

when i first noticed the problem, it turned out the file formats just needed a filename change to .mp4 or something like that. but now, here we are with android 4.x. and i'm losing music again. i've got 12 nickleback songs, but only 8 are being seen. same with all my albums. windows sees them all. android doesn't.

radio gets old. sometimes i like to plug in my phone to the truck radio. MAX OUT THE VOLUME UP. AND CRANK OUT THE AC/DC, or nickleback or whatever.

last night i cranked out donners pass with ac/dc. made the drive a heck of a lot shorter banging my head.

 

that defeats the purpose of packing around less then 1 item.

i supposed i could buy a mp3. but i'd rather keep it to one item. my phone.

i've tried other media apps, but they all work the same. can only see what android itself allows to be seen.
