I have lots of music on my memory card and they all have m3u playlists but these obviously do not work with the touchflo player in Touch-IT 4.5 (awesome ROM)
Is there any program that can convert m3u to touch flo compatible playlists, I tried creating a playlist and locating it but did not find it .
thanks in advance! (and yes I tried the search function...)

Currently I have my music synced (by Windows Media Player 11) to /Storage Card/Music folder (and subfolders). Windows Mobile Media player can see it and play fine, but TouchFlo 3D plugin does not seem to look into this folder at all.
Is it possible to force /Storage Card/Music folder as default for HTC player as well?
I can install it anywhere and TF3D Player finds it:
I got music in:
SD Card/My Documents/My Music/(any album oder artistname)
Or as WMP11 did by sync:
SD Card/Music
Nevertheless, TF3D finds it.
May try a softreset?

Did that, multiple times.
Anyway, moving files to \Storage Card\My Documents\Music seems to work.
I probably need to "reset" just the HTC Library to make it work under \Storage Card\Music, but I am not sure how.
// edit: disabling TOuchFlo 3D a deleting /Application Data/HTC did the trick

Disable TouchFlo 3D and then you can delete the folder.
Then soft reset
Enable TouchFlo 3D again and then the library should refresh again
This is how it solved my issue .
Be patient too : if you have a lot of songs, it can take a while before the library loads up completely

The are two keys in the registry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\device_scan_path_path
and
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\device_scan_path_path_0
You can define search locations for tf3D player there.
Still a Problem
I started the tread referred to in one response above but am still having problems. I tried all the recommended options with varying degrees of success. So far I have managed to get the music file recognised but showing the wrong album cove in the library and now allowing you to flick through them on the first screen. Soft reset allowed flicking but still wrong cover. Wipe SD card, hard reset and still the same. Am I doing something to do with the cover jpg file? And is there a way to convert the standard cover file to a folder jpg other than renaming as they are a lot smaller.
You just need to add an AlbumArt to your mp3s files' tags. You can do it with windows media or, for example, mp3tag.
same problem. i have added an album art to a mp3 file and stored it on the device, but still there is no album art.
(added album art with winamp 5.5 and refreshed with windows media player.)
is there a difference between saving an album art with media player and winamp?
EDIT:
I think there is a difference. the mp3 i added album art still dont have an album art in windows media player (on desktop). if i add the album art in windows media player the alum art is also available on my Touch HD...
Hello!
Can you tell me how to play directories with tf3d music player instead of albums/artistes/....
Thank you
You can't.
Tip:
Best practice is to use a directory structure similar to that (..artist\album\tracks)
I've searched high and low for this and I cannot find a resolution anywhere!
I have recently got a new THD, and it's awesome. I put 300 mp3s onto the storage card, and they didn't show in the mp3 player on the TF3d. I have synced the windows media player library, and they play through there fine.
But I cannot see the mp3s in TF3d mp3 player, I've tried a soft reset and that doesn't seem to work.
Any idea?

Hi! Can anyone say me how to create playlists in Media Panel and Windows Media Player?
I know I can create a playlist and add single tracks to it in Media Panel, but I want to put in the playlist whole folder. Help pls
use any player on PC, select tracks and savelist as m3u
But I have music on X1. Is it possible to make a playlist with folders in X1? Most SE phones have easy setup of playlists... Even if its HTC made with WinMo it shouldnt make problems with music...
I've had a look at the posts already made on this topic - the most useful one I've found so far is TommyRose's post. (t=665484) (sorry not allowed to post links yet).
As I understand it we can't get at the native playlists that the manila player uses - they're somehow hidden away from us - not even in any file that I can find.
I also understand that it is supposed to be possible to sync external playlists directly from WMP. I didn't get very far with trying to do this, mainly because I don't want to use WMP.
I really wanted to use Winamp - it will happily sync to portable devices so I got it to do that (I made my HD2 look like a portable drive rather than using ActiveSync) - and it stuck an m3u playlist file on my device (in \Storage Card\Playlists [I set this up in Winamp preferences I think]) along with the music in the folder structure that I specified.
The playlist was in the wrong format - an m3u. But if you look inside this file it's easy enough to convert it to the asx format required by the Manilla player on the HD2 - which is definitely the player that I want to use!
The format inside the m3u looks like this:
Code:
#EXTM3U
\path_to_your_music_file\a_track.mp3
\path_to_your_music_file\another_track.mp3
But the format inside the asx file has to look like this:
Code:
<ASX>
<ENTRY><REF HREF="\Storage Card\path_to_your_music_file\a_track.mp3" /></ENTRY>
<ENTRY><REF HREF="\Storage Card\path_to_your_music_file\another_track.mp3" /></ENTRY>
</ASX>
Interesting point: the tags have to be CAPITALISED or the Manilla player won't show the track in playlist display.
So far so good - I can use my playlists from Winamp on my PC on my HD2 - after doing some text editing on it and renaming it to an asx (I made a perl script to do this automatically)
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
open FILE_A, "<", "$ARGV[0].m3u";
open FILE_B, ">", "$ARGV[0].asx";
print FILE_B "<ASX>\n";
<FILE_A>;
while(<FILE_A>)
{
my($line) = $_;
chomp($line);
print FILE_B "<ENTRY><REF HREF=\"\\Storage Card$line\" /></ENTRY>\n";
}
print FILE_B "</ASX>\n";
close FILE_A;
close FILE_B;
So now my external playlists show up with all their tracks in the manila player
The problems I'm having now:
1. If I use one of my asx playlists in the Manilla player and hit Menuroperties It shows the properties of the track I'm playing - but it's missing some tag info. If I play the track a different way (without using the asx playlist) the tags show up correctly.
2. This is the most annoying: If I play tracks using one of my asx playlists and then hit Menu:Add to Playlist it shows me all of my native manila made playlists that I can add this track to ... but when I hit one of those the whole thing crashes "A problem has occurred with manila.exe" sometimes it says services.exe too. This only happens with the asx playlists - I can happily Add to Playlist using a track from one of my native playlists - or a track I've played by navigating to it another way.
This feels like a bug in the manila player to me
I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced these problems - and if they know of any solutions or ROMS that solve them? I'd love to have the ability to create favourites playlists on my device as I'm playing the music I've synced into it from winamp using my external playlists.
My HD2 is using:
OS 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.66.405.2(76641) WWE
Hi, arctic giraffe, I tried your solution on my Touch HD with the same Manila version, 2.5.19211619.0, so I think it should work well as your HD2: I made an .asx playlist using syntax you suggested, but Audio manager doesn't recognize it. Otherwise, if I create a playlist without extension (like eldest versions of Manila), which syntax was simply
\path_to_your_music_file\a_track.mp3
\path_to_your_music_file\another_track.mp3
then it recognize playlist in the apposite tab, but I can only see its name, if I try to open it, it's empty. I think that all playlist informations are stored in the file AudioManager_Eng.vol, so I tried to open it with a text editor, but its content is inapprehensible! If you have any idea, please help me!! I think it's impossible that you can make playlist only with Audio Manager (which is long and not pratical)!
