I was wondering how I can backup my playlist before flashing and upgrading my ROM? It has taken me a long time to create my playlists, so I wouldn't like to lose them all, particularly because selecting songs is arduous via TF3D (you can't search or select a letter).
Thanks,
Stazi
Navigate using a file explorer \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager\
Copy the playlist folder to storage card. When you have flashed copy the playlist folder back to the above folder.
thanks for the help, but my playlists folder is blank

Can the Universal Play mp3 or wma files as ringtones thru the standard contacts application? I see where to assign ringtone but my wma tones are not shown. I placed them in a folder in the mydocuments folder in the internal memory. Do they need to go into a different folder? Or do I have to use a third party application?
Also, in WM5 I dont see a Windows folder when I select Explore thru active synch. In WM2003 inside of the Windows folder I had a Favorites folder. I am looking for this folder to copy and paste a few links I saved on my PC from my Jam.
Thank you for your help!

RESOLVED
Sorry, I figured it out. Ill leave the post just in case someone else runs into this problem. I had my file settings to not show hidden files. Changing that to show all files I now have the Windows folder. The ringtones go into the windows\rings folder and under windows there is the folder for favorites.

If you have MP3 or WMV files go to the option of the file u we be able to set that file as ring tone... Windows automatically copy that file in to Ring folder and shows u in ring tone list for u from Phone.
I added music to my storage card, however i can't see them in the music tab. I added them to the WM library with the hope that they are linked, but nothing happened.
any tips ?
Mmmm...
When you say you can't see them, do you mean none of the tracks are there or just the images are missing? If it's just the images, you need to open your music folder on your storage card (with a file explorer that can see hidden files) and make a copy of one of the image files there and rename it 'folder'. Windows Media player names it's music images 'Album_Art.....jpg' - TF3D album needs 'folder.jpg' - If there are no image files, you'll need to manually copy them from your PC and rename as mentioned.
If the music is on your device, but not showing in TF3D album, try soft resetting and see if that refreshes the list.
i don't see the list of music. i tried soft resetting
Try the following:
1. disable touchflo in your start\settings\today\items screen
2. soft reset
3. use total commander to delete Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Audiomanager_Eng.vol
4. restart touchflo
It should then work. However, this process will also delete any playlists you have.
thanks mitsi. it worked :-D
Hi just got my X10 last week, a huge leap for me who owned an X1. I had read from another forum that someone suggested to modify the audio folder in the SD card and make directories into
SD card>audio>ringtones
SD card>audio>alarms
SD card>audio>notifications
This way my customized ringtones show up together with the list of the default tones, but they tones also show up in the mediascape. Is there a workaround to hide them away?
Thanks
Unfortunately I don't think that there is a workaround. I have a game that installed, in its own folder in the SD card, some audio files, and Mediascape show this files, too. Other media players on the market allow to select the path of the audio files on the SD card, Mediascape don't.
There is an UNSAFE workaround:
if there is a file with the name ".nomedia" in the specific directory, that path is not treated as media.
you cannot create the .nomedia files from pc, so you need another solution
(create an empty file and rename it with a file explorer or use a shell, change to the directory and type: "touch .nomedia" to create the file)
Maybe it is a problem that android hides ALL media file in the directory (others reported that hiding cover arts pictures also made the music disappear)
Please tell us if it worked...
Bax
EDIT: CAUTION!!!!!!
Just saw that there are problems with the Android Media Scanner deleting files that existed in directories before the .nomedia file was created (bug) http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3692

I added .nomedia file with Astro to the game folder (/sdcard/gameloft/games/asphalt5), then I unmounted the SD card and rebooted the device. However, all the .ogg files in that folder are still present in Mediascape. Somethiong is wrong or we need to force somehow the media scanner to refresh?
Edit: after some minutes the files disappeared. Apparently the media scanner needs some time do do a full refresh. No files have been deleted in the folder, but there were no JPEG files. I'll try also in the /sdcard/audio folder.
Coincidentally I had bought the same game lornova!
Thanks Baxxx for mentioning that work around! Did the same thing as Lornova and it seems to do the trick. I moved the file into the dir before Mediascape had a chance to pick up the files however.

Nice game! But I'm using it more to demo my phone than to actually playing! However, I play a lot to reversi
I don't know what i did to accomplish this but when I backed up my Sd card files, factory reset phone then replace all folders (only the folders in the root everything exe., txt. I left only) I no longer see it in my mediascape. Must be a list setting somewhere?
hi, I also have the same problem and I've tried the solution above, but it didn't work. I just took a silly game and renamed it to touch.nomedia. I've also rebooted, but I'm still staring at about 160 ogg files Did I do something wrong here??
.nomedia
I had the same "problem"
Open Notepad on your computer > Leave "blank" > File > Save as > File name: .nomedia > Save as type: All files.
Saved file (.nomedia) insert in the appropriate folder on the sd card. Turn off and turn on the phone.
I want to prepare a few playlist, and i want to add them to my music tab player of the htc sense. so where should i put the playsit files>????
hey,
i think i have some informations for you (wrote this to a similar post):
... the playlists (created in manila music tab directly) are stored in this file:
"Device\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\AudioManager_Eng.vol"
You can rename the file (as backup) and SoftReset your HD2. The playlist is deleted too.
!!! Be careful if you delete this file ... your music information and created playlists will be ... gone with the wind !!!
Own playlists can be stored in:
" \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\playlists"
...[*.pls-files / *.wpl or *.asx / i don´t know if *.m3u is possible too]...
They will be "activated" after SoftReset the device.
I hope this will help you.
greetings,
KenShiro
Thanks for the info, unfortunatelly, when i open the playlists they all are shown as empty and they actually are not. I tried with m3u and asx.

Same here.
If i create a playlist in manilla its shows and plays OK.
If i transfer a playlist from the pc the show in the list but EMPTY.
What playslist files the manilla reads ????
Anyone on this ???
And if i backup the AudioManager_Eng.vol i have my playlist in tack after flash ????
when you create a playlist on your pc it also contains information as to where the music should be played from.. etc. "D:\User\Music\my song.mp3".. and since there are no such folder in your phone, the playlist will not find the song (just as it will not if you move the song after you created the playlist on your computer to another folder, etc. "D:\User\Music\Album\my song.mp3"..)
dont know how to solve it though.
hi
i have a qeustion, can you do so that music player only finds your music folder on sd cardand not all other music files such as navigation voices.
U can try changing the folder names you want to hide. You just have to add "." In front of the folder name and Android will hide them from searches. Don't know if the prgram, like your navigation, will still fund it or not. There are some programs in the market that help but I just got up and can't think of the names they've been posted before in this forum..

Hey this also works for images
1pen notepad in windows - you dont need to type anything.
2:Go to file menu and Save...
3: In the Save as Type: dropdown select All Files
4: Name file .nomedia (just that - include the dot - no extension)
Copy this file to the topmost folder of any directory you don't want to play music from.
Alternatively: If you have Laputa book reader installed look in the Laputa Books folder on your sim card and each book folder will have one of these files in it - copy it wherever you don't music to be found
nomedia
Also search for "nomedia" app in the market. It will allow you to exclude folders.
