When I play back music on the Tytn from storage card on Windows Media Player through the speaker of Tytn - skips and stutters during playback of song.
Anyone have this problem or is it my storage card?
Thanks appreciate the help.
I don't have this problem (MP3 or WMA).
Try to copy the files to internal storage and play it from there. If it work, your SD-Card coult by damaged or simply to slow?!
My Wizard used to suffer this problem until I bought a new, high-speed storage card. No more problems now
it might be worth formatting the stick and re-transferring the files back onto it. Make sure you don't transfer the files seperately at the same time. This can fragment the files and cause stutter.
You can highlight all the files you want and send them across in 1 block but not individually more than 1 at a time - if you know what I mean!
Hi
I understand there are some difficulties with the music function in Touchflo 3d
I have a problem that it will only play a track for so long then it stops and freezes !
I have adjusted cache settings to no avail
Just does not seem to be stable
Any ideas ?
Cheers

Is this from Main Memory or the SD Card?
Beards
In my case it's everything alright (plays bundled songs) until I put memory card with mp3's. Then it stops playing anything and hangs every time I go to music tab.
From SD card
Hi
it's the mp3 albums I have put on my sd card
I have a folder for each album with one .jpg file for the album art
Thanks in advance
Solution
Its the SD card slowing the music tab down. You need to go through your sd card and organize it better and delete unwanted material. The Touchflo3d music tab is basically having to search through your entire sd card everytime you restart the device and open the music tab. Or you haven't opened the music tab for several hours. It's basically checking to see if you've added new music to your storage card.
I wish there was a way to manually search for new music and not have it automatically do it. maybe when some cooked roms come out they can disable the auto search function.
The thing that speed up my music tab dramatically was removing GPS map data off my storage card. Or if you have something like googlemaps or windows live search maps cacheing to your storage card turn that off and delete all those folders off your storage card.
I know this solution kind of sucks if you have something like TomTom or IGO on your storage card, but its the only way i've seen to fix it right now with no cooked roms available.
I would also like to note that the Tytn II had such an issue that was related to opening the ZIP file program. When it auto searched for zip files on your storage card it would nearly slow down to a halt if you had GPS map data or cache on your storage card, because it was searching through every map/cache file on there.
In conclusion this isn't just a Touch HD problem its a SD card processing problem that I've seen on multiple devices inclusing the the trusty Tytn II. The only solution will be is if a cooked ROM or cab file will edit the registry or software and turn off autosearch for the music tab and allow us to manually search for new songs when we need to.
utvol06 is quite correct and is the very reason why I asked earlier which area you use to store music data.
I bet you also have several applications installed that again as utvol06 mentions is using the cards processing time.
If you want total proof, copy a few songs to the Blackstone, take out the SD card and try to play those music files again...... I bet you have no problem.

Could this be avoided by using a SD card with a higher class rating? I had an 8GB class 2 card supplied with my HD but I swapped it for a class 4 which I'd been using in my Omnia. I have 3GB of music on it at the moment (about 70 albums) and have never experienced any type of freezing or slow down. In fact no problems at all.
Try installing SD TuneUp, you can get it on the following link :

Had similar problem where the Music tab would just hang searching and then find only a few files and would not want to play them. I'm running a 16gb class 2 card mostly full of music with about 4gb space left. After an unplanned hard reset the Music tab is now working like a dream. I don't think it will be the card especially if you have used it on a previous device without problem.
I did hard reset this morning and no help at all. I've got 8GB class 2 but also another 8GB class 4 and is the same. I wonder if tomtom maps and other software on card causes that Sad becuse maps takes lot of space and you can't put them to internal memory.

I've also got TomTom maps on my storage card. Have you tried a third party music player? Will that work with the SD card/s? I had Pocket Player which worked fine even though HTC Music Audio Manager didn't so in my case it was definitely Touch Flo Music that was the problem. After my hard reset I installed and used Pocket Player before attempting to try the Touch Flo music tab. May be a coincidence but every little bit may help!
Any Ideas

I'll keep thinking about what I did but one thing I remember is hard resetting without the sd card in the phone - I expect you've already tried that.
In a slightly similar vein... how do I get it to keep playing when the HD goes into sleep mode? (ie the screen goes off)
I want to use my HD instead of my iPod shuffle, but it's not good if it stops playing after 2 minutes when the screen goes off...
Thanks.
I have this problem too, and the SD TuneUp didn't work Unless I need to reinstall it for a new storage card?
I don't want to use any other media player because I want it to be in TouchFlo3D!

Hi guys,
I've converted an HD movie to [email protected] mp4. The movie is 1h:31m long and is like 683MB. When I copied it to my sd card WMP can play it. It lags way too much and the problem is not with playback speed, but that the movie is lots of MB and lots of minutes. I converted the same movie but only the first 2 minutes with the same settings as a clim which plays without a frame drop on WMP. The same scenes, which lag so much on the full movie file plays flawlessly on the 2min. clip. Also the 683MB file plays good at the end, when there is not so much content left. So this should be due to precaching or something like that.
I remember I saw something like: copy WMP files to SD card and the lag stops but can't find this thread now. Can you help me with this one? Any idea why the fact that the movie is 1h:31m bothers WMP so much and how I can fix this problem?
Note: the problem is the same with Media Panel.
I'd try installing SDtuneup if you havent done so already and which converter are you using?
I encode my vids at MP4 h.264 600x360 @ 786kbps and havent got lag on those long vids.
Are you copying the files over in sdcard mode too instead of activesync?
I did tried with and without SDtuneup, but it was all the same.
It turns out, that WMP could not read very good from that part of the card. Which was very strange. I copied the same file twice on the SD card and the second copy worked fine. Very strange problem.
I decided to format the SD card and for now it seems that WMP does not have any reading issues, so far.
And the strangest thing is that I could copy the problematic file back to PC from X1 with more than 6MB/s speed. So it wasn't a read problem with the SD card, but just WMP had problems with it.
Anyone having such issue with WMP?

Wow u had a class 6 card?
Well at least you have it fixed now- i assume you are using FAT32 filesystem yes?
I love my HD2 but the HTC music player is really slow when having lots of music (a 16 Gb card with maybe 1500 songs or so). It takes maybe 15-30 seconds before it is ready to use. Is this normal and is there any way to improve the speed?
I have the same problem very annoying. And slow to scroll through music in song view
Even worse is that it seems to do some rescan of all the music everytime you wake the phone, if the music tab is active, so you can't do anything until its finished. Very annoying.
Same for me with my 16Gb card. There should be an option to update manually instead of always automatically. Grr! I will still continue to use it though because the whole library and album selection is the best I've ever used on a WM Phone. Very comparable to the iPhone if not better IMO
My music player stopt after 20/30 sec. Anyone have noticed this problem?
It's driving my nuts
Do you keep all of your songs in the same folder or separate ones? I have about 1000 songs and no more than 30/folder and it takes me about 2seconds to load up the music player.

so you are telling that we need to put all music in one folder and that will speed up Mplayer??? i've got same problem with mine as well.
i got all albums in seperate folders (50+) and the music is shown immediately. No lag when scrolling through song-view as well. Got a german one with german rom.
Maybe very slow sd-card? tnyynt-sd-tuneup installed?
And what about the cover art if you keep the music in just a few folders? I did a try to speed things up by removing all *.jpg files and instead only use the embedded cover arts (My thought was that few files must mean a faster scan). That mostly resulted in me loosing coverarts on a lot of albums (Even due they have embedded pictures) so I guess there are some limitations in the use of embedded pictures?
thats strange i only got embedded covers and they work. Which programm did you use? i used mp3tag...

As long as you don't keep all of your music in the same folder it's going to load up quickly.
This is a repost from me in another thread about the same problem:
---
I have experienced exactly the same problem and found a way to solve it. I had over 500 MP3 songs in one folder on a microSD card. Playing them was terrible, the same problems you mention: stutter, freezing, buffering and the entire phone seemed to be unresponsive at times.
Then I played a very large MP3 file (about 1 hour in length) and I had no troubles at all. That surprised me, because I expected (because of the constant buffering) this would not play at all. What suddenly hit me was that this large file was the only MP3 file in a separate folder.
So I moved a couple songs (which stuttered very much) to another folder and they played without any problem.
The solution I used was this: I deleted the single folder with to over 500 MP3's and added the songs through the Media Player of my PC. This way, the folder structure in the music folder is: Artist/Album/Songs. So every single folder with songs contains only a few MP3 files.
After that I let the Media Player rescan the microSD card. All the songs were detected and they all play without any worry.
Best regards,
Willem (Netherlands)
Well mine remains slow My structure is /Music/Artists/Album and around 2000 songs.
This structure is automatic when you sync with WMPlayer.
I found if you ignore this structure you get "Audiomanager.exe has crashed" after 5 mins of playing (see another of my posts).
Maybe it's something to do with the SD Card?
Do micro SD cards have various classes like normal SD cards?
Mine is a Sandisk 16GB, but that's all it says.

Yes they have different classes, but as many have already pointed out the lag is mostly due to an improper folder structure. So just move them by hand and dont put all of your songs in the same folder.

Mine is also a Sandisk 16GB. I can't imagine you would need a high class microSD card, since all it needs to do is relatively easy reading straight forward files. It would be different if you needed to save enormous amounts of data.
And since I don't have folders anymore with hundreds of MP3's in them, my problem is solved.
EDIT: I used the same microSD card with the same songs in a HD (Blackstone) without problems...

Thought so! As I said my file structure is properly created by Windows Media Player 12, /music/artist/album being the structure and it still lags like hell!

Willem, so you are doing the opposite of what Toss2 said above and amalgamated all your songs into one folder?
Who's right? lol!!

Why don't you try and see for yourself. I had over 1000 songs in one folder to begin with and noticed that it took almost 30 seconds for the music player to even start. I then thought I'd try moving them around a bit and noticed that the load times were cut to two seconds and that the lag was gone once I had moved them to folders with no more than 50 songs in each. You also notice the speed increase in adding music files to windows media player's playlist.

Nope, the lag, stutter and buffering only happens when I do have hundreds of files in 1 folder.
Since I have put the songs on the SDcard through Windows (7) Media Player (12) everything is fine.

Their is two part to the solution:
1) Don't put all the files in the same folder (if you sync using WMP, it may do so)
2) Format your SD card.... but using the "Format SD Card" utility on the phone (Start menu => Tools => Format SD Card in WWE ROM). This very help me (and my phone).. And now, it's only a little long after a soft reset, when going in the music tab for the first time
Hi all,
I've been trying both HTC Desire and HTC HD2 just to find out which one I like most. I don't want to stay with both, so I wanna choose one and sell the other.
My plans were to play a little with TouchFLO 3D and SPB MS 3.5 in HD2 and then with Android in Desire. Each couple days I would use one of them to see which one is better for me.
At first I have started with HD2/TouchFLO 3D, using the official 1.66 PTG ROM. And then came the problem. I have a 8gb Kingston card, put 4gb of mp3 in it and try to listen in music tab, HTC Audiomanager. It starts searching for my mp3, starts loading them, loads, loads and then crashes. I have tried reformatting the card within a card reader and copying my mp3 to it, but again I got the crash.
My mp3 are all organized with embedded album art, /artist/album/music.mp3 folder structure.
Here's what I've been testing so far, with a 2gb and a 4gb card:
- 1.8gb of mp3 in a 2gb card, formatted with a card reader. Audiomanager works fine, no crashes;
- 3,7gb of mp3 in a 4gb card, formatted with a card reader. Audiomanager seems to work ok, but doesn't load many of my album art, and some are corrupted;
- 3,7gb of mp3 in a 4gb card, formatted with HD2 Format SD utility and transferred via usb cable (mass storage). Album art is ok now, but again Audiomanager crashes when loading all mp3. Also it crashes after 1 minute of music playing.
I don't know if this is a ROM bug or something like that. I have found some reports on that crashing problem, but none of them pointed a solution.
Is there a definitive solution for this??
Ooops!
Never mind, problem solved. Found the player hotfix.
