Music player album problem

i think i have found a bug in the music player
after a soft reset or first initialisation the following is available
in portrait mode you can scroll through the demo songs by album artwork vertically and play tracks till your hearts content BUT pause the track and go to landscape mode then click on an album cover and select the track on the left then go back to portrait and all you get is the one cover playing the selected track (you still with me ?)
now pause that track and you have lost the vertical scrolling mode until you do a soft or hard reset.
anyone else have this bug ???

If I understood you correctly, I don't think that's a bug.
The vertical and horizontal browsing modes are different.
Vertical (portrait) mode skips between the tracks that are currently in the 'now playing' list. If it contains tracks from multiple albums, you'll see the different covers of the tracks that are coming up.
Horizontal (landscape) mode flips between all the albums in your library. If you tap on an album, you see the tracks it contains; if you click one of those tracks, it starts playing. Your 'now playing' list then loads all the tracks of that one album and nothing more. Therefore, returning to portrait mode, you'll only be able to flip through the tracks of that one album.
Since the demo music typically has only one track per album, your 'now playing' list will consist of only one song. That's why vertical 'scrolling' seems to stop working: you can't scroll through a list that has only one item.
To put it simply: vertical 'scrolling' is like pushing the 'next' or 'previous track' button on your remote; horizontal 'scrolling' is like going through your cd collection to find something else to listen to.

your answer seems logical
however every demo i have seen has showed the vertical scrolling of albums,
i was kinda hoping i was doing something daft as i quite like the vertical scrolling of album covers.
ohh well if its not a feature i have wasted some time uninstalling programs and resetting registry keys back to standard that i had altered, thinking one of these may have caused it in the first place ( DOH !)
ok will start again in earnest setting the device the way i like it

Well... if you load all your music into the 'now playing' list, you can kinda flip through albums track by track. Especially if each album has only one track like those sample songs. Just open your library, slide to the 'tracks' tab and tap on any song.

I got a HD2 yesterday and found the same thing with the music area in HTC Sense in vertical mode and thought it might be a bug but this does make sense and works exactly as explained
My music still stops playing after a 30 seconds or so though and I have no idea why

BUG in WMP Library

Hello,
When I open Library from MUSIC WMP in HTC HD2 I see a list of songs. On the left side there is a vertical scroll-bar. Well.. it doesn't respond to slide/press events. It is visible but doesn't work for me. I must add that this vertical scroll bar - works fine in File Explorer, but not in WMP Library.
Does anyone have the same problem ?
I wrote to HTC Support and they suggested to do a HARD-Reset, but I doubt that it will help, because I've changed my ROM from 1.43 to 1.48 and this problem still persists.

Hey guys.. are you just lazy or what?
It will take you 5 seconds to check and answer...

I've had a look at the Library in WMP and can't find any scroll bar on the Left hand side, on my device its on the right. It also works perfectly for me.
Even if the scroll bar doesn't work however, you can still scroll through a list by sweeping your finger up or down on the middle of the screen to scroll.
It's unusual a software problem would translate from one ROM to another unless its language specific? Are you using WWE or one of the other language roms? If it isn't software, it could be hardware. Does that left part of your screen work OK with other apps in general? If not the sensors on the screen would be faulty and you could get a replacement.

RE: that post ^. You really need to be patient, people generally won't help people who demand an answer, we don't work for HTC here

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Yeah I'm demanding because other people might be interested in this too, I don't know maybe it's not only my problem.
The Fact is: Scroll bar works in File Explorer and every other application.
In MUSIC Library it doesn't work, but it's visible and when I'm sweeping list by fingers that scroll also moves, but it doesn't respond to finger press/slide or etc. It doesn't work only in my Music Library. Oh my mistake it's on the Right side, yes. Does it work for you in Music Library ?

Now imagine that I have more then 1000 songs in my library... How many times will I sweep by finger in the middle of the screen ? Not convenient. And also I think if it's visible - then it should work. I can't relax if something is not working in my device

(Music Player) and (wallpaper) issues... kinda silly questions

i know these are going to be some silly questions, but i can find the answer anywhere :$
In the phone's default music player ( the music tab or howerver u call it ), if i press Library-> All songs i can see some songs being listed twice. That means that if i listen to one of these songs and i press next, the exact same song will play. I use the latest Windows Media Player to import the song into the phone, saving the songs into the storage card, and the MUSIC folder in the device path is empty. btw, is there a way to make the music continue playing after all the tracks are over? Its getting annoying having to chose the first track every time.
Also, i have this 480x800 picture that i want to set as wallpaper on the Home screen/tab. I press Menu (on the Home screen) -> Home Wallpaper -> Weather Wallpaper and i choose the picture. If i check the Home Screen again, the wallpaper *is* the one i chose but it looks zoomed in, making it look bad since u can see some blury pixels :S
can someone help with these?

[Q] HTC Sense Music Player flick gesture problem

Recently, when using the HTC Music Tab in landscape mode, I've been unable to scroll through the track listings on the left-hand side without the screen moving on to another adjacent tab application (such as Photos or Weather). The tracks scroll ok if I keep my finger on them, but when I release, if it has gone over the top or bottom edge, the tab switches, just as if I'd horizontally swiped in portrait mode.
I am running HTC HD2 with Sense 2.5 and ROM 3.14. I have a few other things installed including Cookie's Home Tabs, none of which have ever caused a problem, and I do not believe them to be responsible for this error, but who knows?
Has anyone else experienced anything similar, or is able to suggest a cause?
***Update*** I just now created a single playlist, and the landscape-mode problem stopped. I deleted the playlist, and the problem came back. This looks like a bug in HTC Sense 2.5 to me. Any takers?

MTC Music PLayer

I need help with the "Repeat" Options. There is a button in the top right hand corner and I know if a keep pressing it it is cycling through the various repeat options: "Repeat One Song" - "Repeat Whole Album"
Does anyone KNOW what each one does? It's unclear just from the symbols so a key would be great.
I ask because I have yet to find a setting that will make the player go to the next album.
To clarify, when an album ends I want it to just go to whatever the next album is!

Repeat One Song means it will repeat the currently playing song.
Repeat Album means it will repeat what ever is currently in the playlist.

Thanks Assassin, it would be easier to explain what I meant with some screen shots.
When you hit the Repeat button it cycles through 4 different options.
What I wold like to know is what exactly each of the four are/does.
In particular, which ones allows the unit to go from the last song in one album to the first song in the next album.
Whichever option I choose it either repeats the album or just stops!
