HTC Audio Manager v2 - Playlists?

Does anyone know where HTC Audio Manager v2 stores the playlists? Or ideally a link to a current user guide for the Audio Manager application?
The previous versions used to store playlists in the directory /application data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/playlists. It was possible to copy the file to PC and manually edit (albeit tricky).
The latest version no longer seems to store playlists anywhere obvious - so must be embedded in a database somewhere. I want to be able to copy the playlists to the PC (and ideally amend / import into Windows Media Player).
Can anyone help?
Cheers

Touchflo 3D library

I added music to my storage card, however i can't see them in the music tab. I added them to the WM library with the hope that they are linked, but nothing happened.
any tips ?

Mmmm...
When you say you can't see them, do you mean none of the tracks are there or just the images are missing? If it's just the images, you need to open your music folder on your storage card (with a file explorer that can see hidden files) and make a copy of one of the image files there and rename it 'folder'. Windows Media player names it's music images 'Album_Art.....jpg' - TF3D album needs 'folder.jpg' - If there are no image files, you'll need to manually copy them from your PC and rename as mentioned.
If the music is on your device, but not showing in TF3D album, try soft resetting and see if that refreshes the list.

i don't see the list of music. i tried soft resetting

Try the following:
1. disable touchflo in your start\settings\today\items screen
2. soft reset
3. use total commander to delete Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Audiomanager_Eng.vol
4. restart touchflo
It should then work. However, this process will also delete any playlists you have.

thanks mitsi. it worked :-D

Where are the playlists stored?

Hi,
did someone knows where htc music player stores the playlists?
I want to edit the playlist on pc.
thanks obiwan2k

Hi obiwan2k,
i think the playlists (created in manila music tab directly) are stored in this file:
"Device\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\AudioManager_Eng.vol"
You can rename the file (as backup) and SoftReset your HD2. The playlist is deleted too.
!!! Be careful if you delete this file ... your music information and created playlists will be ... gone with the wind !!!
Own playlists can be stored in:
" \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\playlists"
...[*.pls-files / *.wpl or *.asx / i don´t know if *.m3u is possible too]...
They will be "activated" after SoftReset the device.
I hope this will help you.
greetings,

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same here.
If i create a playlist in manilla its shows and plays OK.
If i transfer a playlist from the pc the show in the list but EMPTY.
What playslist files the manilla reads ????
Anyone on this ???
And if i backup the AudioManager_Eng.vol i have my playlist in tack after flash ????

when you create a playlist on your pc it also contains information as to where the music should be played from.. etc. "D:\User\Music\my song.mp3".. and since there are no such folder in your phone, the playlist will not find the song (just as it will not if you move the song after you created the playlist on your computer to another folder, etc. "D:\User\Music\Album\my song.mp3"..)
dont know how to solve it though.

Can we convert Windows Media Player playlist (.wpl) to (.asx) and use it on Pocket ?

YES WE CAN by using WMPlaylist
Installation: Advisable on SD
Script will backup all playlists located on "\" and "\Storage Card" and will create "BackupRegister.ini"
Old ini will be deleted after each backup, so if in the meantime playlists are changed the old ones will stay in default folder as arh (if the names of new are changed only).
NOTE: Avoid same names playlists located on "\" and "\Storage Card"
Backup sheduler
- Never
- Day
- Day*7[Week]
- Week*4[~ Month]
Set Auto Restore folder [UC] and enable option
- Default folder is "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
- Script will auto restore all playlists including in BackupRegister.ini after you wipe device
(IF SCRIPT IS LOCATED IN SD!!!) )
Create playlist
- Default folder is "\"
- Use WMP on PC to sync. and store all music corectly on SD
- If you do that manualy via Windows Mobile Device Center be aware:
• create first "\Storage Card\Music" folder
• next subfolder is Singer - "\Storage Card\Music\Keane"
• next subfolder is Album - "\Storage Card\Music\Keane\Under the iron sea"
• and finaly Songs - "\Storage Card\Music\Keane\Underthe iron sea\[song number] Cristal ball.mp3"
• song number - 01,02,03 ....
That is what WMP on PC do and that will guarantee correct created playlists
How to transfer PC playlist [.WPL] format to [.ASX] - pocket windows media playlist format?
PROCEDURE ...
• sync playlist - Open WMP on PC, right key on mouse over desire playlist [Add to Sync List] then [Start sync].
• open playlist's [file location] and copy it to "\Storage Card"
• Run WMPlaylist and use option [.WPL] to [.ASX format]
• Script will check out does all songs from WPL playlist exist on SD and will create PPC compatible playlist with same name
Now you can listen music on Pocket in same order as you do on PC at home
NOTE: Script can't read some special charesters including in song's name or path
Enjoy
