I've been using windows media player for a while. Recently, I got the HTC audio manager today screen plugin. Now windows media player won't play any songs on my device and won't even find my micro SD card. I've already tried uninstalling the today plugin but windows media player still isn't working.
Is there any way to fix this?
Try deleting the MSMETADATA and WMRDM folders and the wmp*.xml files. Found this info on another forum and it fixed the problem for me.
where do you find these files

Hi
I have all my songs on my storage card. I can play them fine directly from the storage card, going through the file explorer.
However they dont work when in windows media and using the playlists, even though I can see them all. I get the error message "Cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the player does not support the format you are trying to play"
Any ideas??
Thanks

I've given up on Windows Media and now use TCPMP for playing my audio files. One of the main reasons I dislike Windows Media is because it's such a pain to create playlists. It seems like they went out of their way to make it difficult. TCPMP let's you create playlists on the device very easily. My audio files are a mix of mp3s and .wma files and it plays them all just fine.
TCPMP also plays lots of other media types, but that's all I'm using it for at this point.
And it's free! (Though you can give a donation if you find it useful )
You can also try WinamPAQ v1.0 Beta[/url]. Also free, if you used Winamp on the PC before, this is a fine copy. Works great also.

Hi im new here and this is my first post.
When i first tried to upload songs into my library from the Storage card, it worked fine, but now im not having the same luck.
After i begin to update my library it detects all the mp3 on the storage card but then when its adding them to the library it stops about half way and just lags for about a minute or 2. Then when it says done, the mp3 have not been uploaded at all. I've tried several times but with the same results.
It seems like the only way i can play the mp3's from the storage device in windows media player is my individually selecting the files and playing them one at time
Is there someway to fix this problem?
Is there another mp3 player that can be added to the TYTN?
Is there another way to play mp3's from your storage device without adding them to your library?
Thanks!

This is a standard WM5 problem.
Find MSmetadata folder on storage card - DELETE it (need file explorer set to show all files - hidden files)
Should find it works better now. Reconstruct library.
If still stuck see here:

or search using MSMETADATA

That worked perfectly and resolved my problem

can someone help me?
i have this same issue.

Hi
I currently have that problem, i cant create any playlists.
the only why i can listen to media is either through file explorer or oin media player - menu - library - menu - open file.........then finding the music on the card.
hope it helps temporarily.

delete msmetadata, wmdrm and wmpinfo.xml from storage card
Don't delete the wmpinfo.xml file, this is just the file that allows media player on your desktop/laptop to identify the device (SD Card) with all the settings from your last sync.
If you do delete it then you will have to set up a new partnership in media player. Not terrible but avoidable.
I've read a lot of good stuff about synchronizing the Windows Media Player 10 with the HTC Tynt (WM6). However, I do not seem to be able to view the nice album covers which i can see on my desktop PC.
Do I need to download some special skins to do this for the mobile media player???
regards,
This works effortlessly and without any "special" steps for me. Although I am using windows media player 11 for the Desktop. What is your entire process for placing and playing files? Are you doing the following (which I do personally)
1) Sync music under windows media player itself, not copying files over through explorer.
2) On Pocket Windows Media Player, update your library via menu
3) Under pocket windows media player, play your music through the library itself, as opposed to individually through file explorer.
Yes, exactly how I do it. The music is synchronized and plays well but the main media player screen does not show anything except the usual stuff like title, rating (stars)...
I also use Windows Media Player 11 and on the PC, I can see the album cover without problems.
Just tried it again and once again it worked fine for me. What rom are you using?
I have AX3L rom but Windows Media Player wont even load (i've obviously broken something), so has anyone got Window Media Player separately so I can reload it? I have tried Audio Manager, but that doesn't even see my songs, let alone play them.
havent seen wmp as cab think it's soo intergrated into roms it's not an installed app
Audio Manager not seeing songs
Ok, if it have to use the HTC Audio Manager, would anyone know why it's not picking up my songs. The "My Music" folder is in My Documents on the storage card?

Sorry, put instructions for Media Player. Just realized you need HTC Instructions.
