I have a ? is there an app. that would allow you to add album art to individual songs on tf3d..
I know u can use windows media player but lets say im away from home and i come across an artist picture that i like.. rather than waiting to get home this program would allow me to add it rite there on the spot.
Ive done alot of searching and have not come across anything.. (or i might just be using the wrong keywords) iether way im a total newbie at this so any help would be welcomed and appriciated
Thank you all in advance.
Mmmm...
I don't know of any app that can do this, but you can always do it manually at any time:
Take a picture, or download the one you want from the internet. Rename it to 'Folder'. Place it in the folder that contains the track you want to associate the image with... navigate to Internal Storage\Music\Band Name\Album Name - Place the image named 'Folder' here.
Hope this at least gives you one solution
k i went to storage/music.. but all i see is all my music but no band name or album folder...
Do you have all your music in the same folder? Then this might come handy.
you can try my method in my blog, the link is in my Signatures...
hopes this helps...
Thankx guys for all the great help.
I appriciate all the good help

Graham,
Thanks for your tip. It works a treat on my Diamond. I had been searching for something to do this. There are other solutions, but I couldn't get them to work properly and this is a very simple method.

not many responses to this thread, so i don't know if anyone cares
but here is the solution, not too hard
1. on your phone fire up your favorite Registry Editor
2. go to HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored
a. if Ignored key doesn't exist create it
3. create a new String Value and name it anything you like
example: igo
4. set the Data for the new value to the full path of the folder to be ignored
example: \Storage Card\iGO8
note: all sub-folders will be ignored as well
5. restart your phone
note: the folder and it's sub-folders will not show up in Album
now that i can carry thousands of my photos with me
i realize that HTC Album gets crowded with sub-folders/albums
most are sub-folders with my photos and i guess i have to live with that
but also some system and miscellaneous folders show up
simply put a lot of finger scrolling
is there a way to hide / ignore certain sub-folders from HTC Album?
bumping
because i'd like to know if this is possible
i figured if windows and program files are hidden from the list,
there has to be a way to hide other unwanted folders
I don't think there is a way on the HD without something like resco explorer but, on your PC change the folder or file attribute to hidden before transferring to your HD.
bumping the solution
Thanks, this is great tip
tagging this so I can find it after each reflash
If you just want to keep photos out of TF3D album (so it will still appear in albums if ytou launch HTC Album but not in the TF3D tab) and it's easier: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1789
yopu just pick a folder as your favorite.

Hi, great tip by the way. Managed to hide the images coming from gAlarm. Is it possible to have the same thing for Music? I dont want those sound files from a third party app to be included in the ALL music tab, my quick fix is to use a playlist Thanks.
Excellent tip mate, surprised you haven't had many other responses!!
You are the Man!!!
I have been looking for away to do this for ages.
Ahh cool. Can this be made into some kind of batch file, so when you flash it can be added right back in?
Actually, is there a way to ignore everything and add the folders you want to include?

after you populate it the way you like export the Registry KEY
import after flash,
or
convert to XML or CAB and install
these topics are covered better elsewhere in this forum,
search for "UC or user customization" or SASHIMI

you can't do that with file explorer, you can use total commander. download it here http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab
If you keep holding the stylus on the panel above the file you want to move, you can copy and paste where to want.
i like resco explorer, more finger friendly
aaah that explains it all lol. thank you very much
hi , i have a question, how am i can see album picture on the screen then i am in Music and playing mp3 file.
thanks
I hope it's not an issue to link to another forum, where I found the answer to Atron100's question (had the same "problem" when I got the phone). See here:
http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showthread.php?p=78658
Basically you need to embed the album art into the mp3 file. If you follow the guidelines given by one of the users there, you'll be gravy. It's exactly what I did and was pretty easy.

thanks, i will try it, and will tell if it's helps.
You can also copy the artwork into the album folder with the name folder.jpg and it will use it.
A number of people have PM'ed me about this so I decided to have a good search.
At first I thought it was simply in \application data\htc\audiomanager_eng but my playlist folder shows nothing
I had a good root round my reg which didn't help, lol, searches didnt provide any useful info either
I'm slightly mistified myself as to where else the playlists could be held, possibly in one of the manila files located in the windows folder?
Was hoping our fine members could possibly show me the light in this matter or could elaborate anymore?
Cheers Rick
EDIT - SOLVED
See post#4
Hi,
This may be way off but thought I'd mention it anyway. I have a couple of playlists which I created through Pocket Player. These seem to be saved under My Device/My Documents?
Cheers
Dave
Found mine in HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Music

Andrew
Thanks guys, though I think I solved it.
It was in \application data\htc\audiomanager_eng afterall
There should be a file called AudioManager_Eng.vol located in path shown above. If you change this to a .txt you'll notice all your songs which are in your playlist should be listed within this file in a gobbledegook sort of way. This file just updates if you change or make new playlists.
What confused me was this file was already here before I created a playlist so I assumed another file would appear instead of this file updating
Thanks anyway
Rick
Was looking for this a while back! Thanks for the tip
Hello all,
Long time fan first time caller
Can anyone tell me where the playlist you save with the HTC music player on the home screen tabs is located? Is it on storage card or phone itself? What folder / location?
Thanks in advance team.
You can find the playlists in Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/Playlists.

Thanks for this thread, I've been wondering the same thing myself. I'm having a slight problem though. I've made a custom playlist from some tracks on the phone but the folder you've listed is empty. I checked if maybe it was a hidden file but but there is no playlist in there.I've had to do a few hard resets recently and it's a real bugger having to make a new playlist every time! If anyone can give a definitive answer as to where I can find the custom playlist that would be great, or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance
Solved... kida
Hi and thanks for your reply maximus1111.
I have a solution, but its not idea.
The playlist data is stored in Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/Playlists
If you look in the playlists folder it appears empty but its there.
If you go into the audiomanager folder there are two files in there. Copy them and go to your storage card. Make a folder- call it what ever you want (eg HTC Playlist) and paste the two files in there.
If you lose your playlists in the device for some reason you can copy the files back from your storage card to the phone and you will have your playlists back.
If you want to delete the playlist in your phone and use the ones in your storage card, soft reset the devic. When it starts up make sure you do not open the HTC Music application (very important or wont work). Using file manager go to audiomanager in the phone and delete the two files. Then paste the ones from your storage card there and it will work.
Less than ideal and a bit of mucking around, but I have confirmed it works with my HTC HD2.
Thanks everyone. This is a great forum.

Ok,
Thanks for the tip. I've backed up the Audiomanager folder so hopefully, if I need to replace the playlist, it should work. You're sure that the playlist is in that folder though?
Thanks

hi, same here, no playlist in folder. i copied the audiomanager_eng.vol to my pc. when i look at it with a hexeditor, i see the names and path (eg. ZPlay \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\playlists\ZPlay) in the file. also i found all information about the mp3 files i have added to playlists (eg. \Storage Card\Audio\Music\ACDC - Backtracks - 08 - Snake Eye.mp3 Snake Eye). so i think htc stores everything in that file.
i think thats a good example how htc developers are ticking, instead of keeping it simple they make it as complicated as possible... spilling all the data the user have created all over the complete device. if i just want to save my settings i have to run around between a dozend different places on my hd2.

I know it sounds a bit wacky, but tried it twice and worked both times when I followed the procedure. As to why it works is above my limited intelligence.

Your best bet would be to make a shortcut to the folders they are in and then copy the shortcut to the start menu and then assign an icon to them.
HMMM?
How would i make an icon to that folder though thats the main answer i want
P.S. thats exactly what i did and thats what i really want to do make an icon for that folder shortcut to work on the start menu

Ok find an icon you want either on the internet or the forums and then you need to make the reg setting for it. Something like this,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\"you link name here".lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_FileExp.png"
then drop your icon in the windows folder and then reboot and the icon should take
OK

Or you could use something like JWMD Icon Changer, no reg editing and lets you save and load themes of Icons .....
Sigh...
Well i used JWMD Icon Changer to change the shortcut in my start menu and well it worked but it says "the file _____ cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file." in other words it cant opened even if the icon is there...i probably need a .exe to open the folder i made to an icon like the transformers app...sigh it would be easier if u guys made one for me, an app icon that i can put my videos & movies in that app anytime i want, just like the transformers movie app
It would be much appreciated if someone did this for tnx

Try creating your shortcut to the folder like this
Assume you know some of this but gonna cover the whole thing ..
create a text document on your pc, change movies to wherever you want, ...
35#"fexplore.exe" \Storage Card\Movies
the number before the # is the number of characters after the #
create the file in notepad, move it to the device /windows/start menu/programs and rename it .lnk
This will launch file explorer to the folder of your choice ...
Then change the icon to whatever you want ...
And of course since it is a .lnk in your start menu , it will show up so you can add quicklinks ...
TNX

I attached the link ... just unzip it, and put it in /windows/Start menu/programs
in device memory
be sure to create a folder on your Storage card called movies ..
When connecting to activesync and browsing to the \Windows directory in main phone memory, sometimes it can take a while for the folder to show the files, so when it opens just goto \windows\start menu\programs and copy the lnk in the zip to there ...
Hope it works ....
Oh My GOD!
