hey everyone, i just got my blackstone yesterday and after uploading songs both through sync and manually into the storage card, my songs always freezes once i have an amount of about 50 or more. is this the stock firmware problem? is there a way to fix this?
I had that problem too, songs I dragged to the storage card would just stop after a few seconds of playing in AudioManager, or not play at all.
For me it worked better after I started to sync all songs through active sync and media player. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I also just synced about 10 songs at a time and didn't have the audio manager tab open. Because I was scared it would happen again, I didn't put more then 500mb of songs on the storage card yet.
The storage card included with the phone is class2. I wonder, will a class 6 storage card solve these kind of problems better?
Also I wonder, would it help to make a back-up of the AudioManager_Eng.vol after syncing all the songs?
I used to get this on the bog standard crappy Orange ROM that came with the device. It would be fine until I loaded in Santogold by Santogold. Nothing would load after that and if you tried to play anything, it'd freeze up and I'd get an audio manager error or something. In the end, I entered the world of ROM flashing. Has made the phone more usable for sure.
I have the same problem. However, the problem doesn't occur if I bypass the touchflo music interface and use the Windows Media Player that came with it.

I have a very weird problem that is bugging me no end! I tried putting some new media files on my xda today various wmv music and video files. Thing is they play ok then all of a sudden the xda freezes and I have to reset it. Then subsequently every file that I've loaded on today will freeze the xda. All others I've loaded on play fine. The only thing I've done since I last loaded any media files on is upgrade the Rom to the version 1.06. I've spent most of the day loading these new files on then having to remove them again I've tried loading them one by one they play fine for a while then all of a sudden the xda freezes then I have to delete them all again. It's really bugging me as to why it is doing this. Any ideas will be appreciated
Hmm just tried to open a picture I saved on my memory card that I transferred over today and that freezes my xda too!
You may have a corrupted SD card...that sounds a bit like a problem I used to have with one of my old ones.
I suggest you remove all your data on the card to a folder on your PC desktop, then format the card again on FAT32. If you don't have a card reader, I would suggest using StorageTools (http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html) or a similar program.
See if that resolves the issue. If not, it may just be the old problem where trying to read too much data from the card causes the phone to i/o error and effectively drops the card.

Dear all,
I have the HD2 and 16gb SD card. When I pair the device to my bluetooth headphones (Motorola S805) the device freezes for 3 minutes and trying to get the thing to play audio takes 5 to 10 minutes. I noticed that the device spends its time trying to scan through all the music on the card (12.1gb) and then eventually the audio manger crashes. Has any encountered this and also has anyone found a fix for this??? I am about to send the device back for a replacement as I have owned mine for less that 2 weeks and they wont take it back or cancel the contract so a replacement is all I can achieve at this stage. i previously owned HD, Ted Baker Needle and Tytnii and have never had this issue. I also noticed that HD2 does not offer a voice dialer???? Is that right??? Please help
I am having the same problem guys. I am ex-3GS user and I'm really mad a great hardware like hd2 can not play my music library(10 gigs). this also leads to very slow performance in my device in general when i choose to play any piece of mp3.
does any one every had the same problem ??!!
Thanks.
Fine with 7 gigs of music here. Ofcourse it takes some time to scan the card but then everything´s working fluently
I've seen a crash or an endless loop of library scanning a couple of times right after adding new music. A simple soft reset solved it.
The library file is "Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/AudioManager_Eng". You could try and delete or rename it and see what happens. Wait for the Audiomanager to start rescanning your files, and when it's scanning, wait untill it finishes.
If that doesn't work, something in your library is causing trouble. A corrupt mp3 file maybe, something the Audio Manager wants to read but can't.
My library is about 12-13gb, so size shouldn't be the problem.
Most of the times the audio manger crashes because it contains illegal characters (characters that it cannot read by default). Make sure you're files do not contain any special characters and language specific characters.
I have similar problems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6110471#post6110471
Will try to avoid language specific characters in filenames and report back.

sort out your music into different folders try to have at most 30 songs in a folder, yes the hd2 is a powerful device but it still has limitations oe of which is the filesystem if all your songs are in one folder the filesystem would crash or make the whole device run slowly
Gday All,
Hope someone can help me...

Ive just finished syncin' my tunes using Windows media player, and for some reason now, when i try and play the music on the phone, it comes up with the following message:
"A problem has occurred with AudioManager_eng.exe"
If i leave the phone long enough, it does actually load a few tunes, but not all of them, although when i go into album, they all appear to be there... Can anyone shed some light on this rather annoying problem...?
Thanx guys

HD2 Audio Manager
Well, i have finally managed to sort this rather annoying problem out.
And it works...!!! (Bloody miracle...lol)..
This is what i did, to stop the audio manager from "hanging" every couple of minutes...and giving the "a problem has occurred with audiomanager_eng.exe"
1. Deleted all the music from the sd card
2. reformattted the sd card (back up first)
3. installed mp3tag on my laptop
4. Then went thru my music and assigned a new tag to each album (didnt take that long really about 2 hours)
5. Then installed back onto the sd card
Then the music will paly perfectly, without stalling, hanging, crashing etc.
I think its something to do with the music tags that stops the music player/audio manager from working properly....
I have successfully being using the music for a while now, with no issues....
WOO BLOODY HOO...!!!
Twice I've had the experience of the HTC Music Player taking over all the memory of the unit. A soft reset didn't help. The first time it happened I did a hard reset and reinstalled everything. When it happened yesterday, I was determined to find a solution without doing a hard reset. I did. Unfortunately, it meant deleting all of my music (about 1000 songs) and playlists. I've now added all my music back on to the memory card and created some of my playlists.
When the player "takes over" the unit's memory I see a small revolving circle just to the right of the album cover update button. Can someone explain what that is indicating? This revolving circle ran for more than 90 minutes before I finally gave up on it ever stopping. I'm assuming some file becomes corrupted and then puts the software into a loop. Does anyone know what file this might be? Can it be deleted? If so, what will be lost?
Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I've always believed it meant it was reading the media on your sdhc... I'd say there's an issue with your memory card...
Could be a corrupt music file ... try taking your SD card out and booting ..
If it does not do the same thing with the SD card out , either there is a file that is bad on the sd card, or could be the sd card is bad ...
if you have music in your phone memory move it to the sd card see if that makes a diff ....
Also , make sure that when it is "Hanging" it is not trying to update album art from the internet, 1000 songs updating could take a while ....
Mine does that but only for a few seconds and it comes up with the message buffering so it must be it is not reading the memory card quick enough......I have just purchased a Sandisk 16GB card and it still does it so I am not sure what to now. It just seems to get slower the more files you store on the thing

Accidentally responded to the wrong thread, but second time lucky!!
I've seen issues reported like this when the music is just copied over to the storage card. One of the files causes the music player to take ages to load or indeed crash.
The common solution is to use WM player to sync the music i think...
I have a stock T-Mobile Tab. I have a 16gb memory card installed in it, with quite a bit of music on the card. Whenever I play an mp3, it works fine....for the first song. It seems that about halfway through the second or third song, my tab always freezes. It doesn't seem to matter if the music file is on the sd card or my 16gb's of internal storage, it still freezes. I even placed an mp3 that plays through fine the first time on repeat to make sure it wasn't just bad files. The mp3 that worked on first play freezes upon being repeated.
Is this just me with this problem? Any ideas what it could be?
My tab doesn't freeze, but it does stutter/skip after a few songs have been played. I think there are two possible solutions. First, try a different music player from the market. I think skipping/stuttering is a known issue of the stock player. Also, maybe the quality of the SD card could be the problem. I bought the cheapest card. So use someone elses card to test that out.
Let us know how it works out.
My uk tab o2 has this issue to every time I start a track in music app built in the phone it shuts down. Also happens with stock email client.then opens on second try.
This is my second tab with o2 and the last had same issues.....

Check the notification area if the media scanning is running, it is the sd card icon. If you have thousands of mp3 as in my case, scanning uses up the cpu slowing down the tab considerably.
If you want to cancel the scanning, you need to root your device. You can download z4root to safely do it. Then download Rescan Media Root. This program enables you to disable scan.
Note though you need to really run the media scanning for newly added media files so those can be accessed by the stock media player. You do this at night before sleeping. Mine takes about five hours to complete.
