Manila 2.5 Music player stopping - Touch HD General

Hi
I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem that seems to be just my HD. Maybe it's my music, but that's what I'm here to find out.
Whilst playing a song in the music tab, after a minute or so it just stops, the play/pause button is playing yet there is no sound and the progress bar doesn't move. It will only resume again after I hit pause and then play and even then the song just begins again. This happens no matter what ROM I am using. Miri, Dutty and PhamQuang roms all do the same.
Thanks for looking, I hope you can help.

Hi,
Also facing this problems, after about 43 seconds the music just stops.
It also stops when you press the standby button.
Please help!

It's supposed to stop when you press the power button, although there is a registry tweak to prevent this from happening.

TF3D2.5 has problems playing my non-Lame encoded MP3s and also stops other mp3s playing properly.

Could using wma music help? I will test this out and get back with the results

solution works for me

Was doing some fiddling last night (as mentioned in another thread) and it, for me at least, appeared to be a problem with the program a mp3 was compressed with.
All my lame mp3s work fine but as soon as I copy one which dbpoweramp says was compressed with FHG all mp3s stop after a few seconds.

Thanks a lot,
It works for me: I reencode all my music with dbpoweramp with lame codec and I don't have anymore the issue.
Great thanks.

Yay. Glad it's working now Pain having to re-encode mp3s though.

can someone please post the registry tweak to prevent music player to stop in standby!thanks!

Hey Guys, i had the same problem.
I just used resco explorer. Selected all files in the MP3 folder and removed the readonly. It worked like a charm. Try this out and lemme know if it worked.
Good Luck!

if this works you will be my hero of the day
edit: the read only is checked clear after tapping it gets empty but then after reopen its checked clear again?!
what does this mean?
-> music still stops playing
would be grateful for further help

Hello,
I too have been experiencing my 8Gb of music stopping when used with WM6.5 ROMs. Ripped using Windows media 11 (not Lame encoded).
I noticed that when starting to play an MP3, in the top left corner of the screen, next to the CD icon, was a spinning disc. When this disc stopped spinning, the music stopped playing.
My solution was switch on wifi (connected). Press Menu. Press Update Album Art. Press Current Song. The top right of the screen says Link to Gracenote. After some seconds an album cover will appear and the spinning disc will stop. I only needed to update one album and the problem stopped on all MP3s.
Nothing to lose,,,give it a try.
PS. I use a little mortscript to modify the following registry entry that allows me to turn off the screen without headphones connected.
HKLM\System\State\Hardware\Headset = 1

Mate,
I forgot to mention the other part.
Ok try the below steps.
1) Copy all MP3 files into ONE folder. You should not use multiple folders.
2) Now in resco explorer, go to MENU -> EDIT -> SELECT ALL
3) Once all MP3 songs are selected, again go to MENU -> FILE -> PROPERTIES.
4) Now disable all checkboxes like read only, archive, hidden and system files.
5) Then select DONE.
Now you should be good to go.
Note: DO NOT SELECT THE MP3 FOLDER TO MODIFY THE READ ONLY. Even if you uncheck the read only attribute for the folder, it will show as read only if you look at the properties again. Change the attribute of MP3 files and it should work.
I use a 16GB class 6 SD card and it works great for me.
I had already opened a thread to discuss the issue.
You might find more info here as well.

Good Luck Folks.

Sorry to hear that it dint work. I completely understand your frustration coz i was one few days back.
Did u check the attributes of the MP3 files again after removing read only?
Do you face this problem in other audio players like, WMP, S2P as well? I never faced problems in other players.
Since the previous solution dint work, lets try something else.
Remove all ur MP3s in the folder. Just add 10 MP3s first. Try the steps I had given in my previous post. now after removing the read only for the 10 MP3s, try playing them to see if it works. If it does add another 20 MP3s.
You can also try to remove the read only by connecting ur SD card to a computer.
If you still face issues, format your SD card with default allocation size. Try loading the files into one folder and remove the read only attribute for all the files.
I am no techie guy.. if you ask me how it worked for me, i am absolutely clueless.

first thanks for your help!
in windows media player all the files worked without errors.
just copied some mp3 files from sd card to my device and even then with the manila player they stop!
going to flash a new rom and sd is getting formated right now.
because the touch hd is my mp3 device this is really annoying!
no problems before flashing manila 2.5...

Ok. If it does not work even from phone memory, then something else is wrong.
Try energy rom pheonix with Sense 2.1. I think that might work..

flashed to xanny evo 1.5b and what should i say
transfered a fex album with wmp ( fast disc tranfser mode) and tried to listen - stopped after seconds.
then I put these mp3´s ( about 40 not sure) in one folder and put wifi on and updated all album arts.
after that the circle next to music went away and it works so far !
hell yeah
my joy didnot last very long - going to through my hd out of the window and get a motorola milestone just dreaming

Same issue fixed for me
Hi guys,
I had the same or similar issue with the Sense 2.5 included in my ROM.
I my case the issue was caused by the all versions of Manila 2.1 and 2.5 that created files named "AlbumArt_{937436F0-A712-496E-B610-48576D832D91}_Large.jpg" or "HTCAlbumArt.jpg" in the subfolders. I have of folder for each artist and different folders for each of their albums.
To resolve the issue I've only removed all the *.jpg file except the folder.jpg (256*256 pixels). After a soft reset, the HTC Audio Player recreated his own *.jpg named ~HTC_AlbumTitle.jpg. The only thing I don't know is if the name is linked with Sense 2.5 or Dutty's ROM.
I hope It will help someone else.

Re-encoding in LAME worked a treat for me, Thanks a bunch

I flashed this new rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603741
This has the new dump from Leo 2.01 and a new Sense, not sure the number, but I am able to play any of my audio files with no other manipluation. Not sure is this is the this particular Sense Build, or Leo dump, or the cook. But I no longer have the stopping after a few seconds issue.

Loading Music Files

Hi all,
This may be a dumb question but as a "newbe" to he HD can someone tell me the correct method and or directory structure required when copying music files to the storage card? I tried puting them in Music/"album name"/ but my HD did not find them. I followed the manual and used actisync and WM11 but it still did not work. Have done a hard reset as after trying these two methods the original two songs did not show either. Any help would be appreciated.
You need to add the Music Tracks to the Windows Media Library - once you've copied the files across onto the Memory Card (it really doesn't matter on the Directory Structure) go into Windows Media - it normally takes you straight to the Library - then from the Menu select "Update Library ..." and wait a while.
Many thanks
Hi Paul,
Thanks for the quick response, I new it had to be something simple.
Adding Music to TF3D music player.
Hi there,
I was struggeling with the same thing.
Remove; Application Data\HTC\HTC Album\AudioManager_Eng\'Audiomanager_Eng.vol' and softreset.
If you can't remove this file softreset first and try again.
After the file is removed and a softreset is done TF3D will add your music automatically to the library when you scroll to the today music player.
It is music/artist/album.
You might want to get a small piece of software on your PC to check the music ID tags. I had alot of problems to start with and found that deleting the album no and comments gave no problems.
You dont have to use active sync through WMP11. You can simply use the explore on active sync to find your music folder and then drag and drop.
To delete audiomanager.exe you will have to disable touchflo.
I'm having the same problem with the TouchFlow3D media player. However I don't seem to have the folder structure you mention. I have ...
"Application Data\HTC\HTC Album" but there's no "AudioManager_Eng" folder. My "AudioManager_Eng" folder is located at "Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng" and in there I DO NOT have "Audiomanager_Eng.vol".
Any other suggestions?
Thank you,
Mike
1. if you add a lot of music files it will take a long time for your HD to find them. a very long time!
2. to test, start with 1 or 2 albums in mp3 format
3. take care that each of the mp3 files to have the same album name on the Id Tag
4. on your card you can have any structure. i use something similar to my PC: music/artist/album
5. you can add a picture (artwork) within the respective folder for each album and it will be displayed on the tf3d player (the name should be folder.jpg for each picture)
if you respect these steps for sure it will work. you can also use s2p and the albums pictures will look very cool when you wil slide them
good luck!
Any update on this? Mine doesn't work..
Help!
I don't know what's wrong with my HTC Diamond. I got the Sprint version. It was working fine until a few days ago. Everytime a play a song on the TF3D player, it plays the songs, but then it stops the songs halfway thru, and then it wont continue playing unless I restart the whole song. I tried doing the Hard reset, soft reset, follow the steps above and it still does the same thing. On the WM player, they work fine, but not on the TF3D player. Pls help

TF3D Music Player- Help its killing me!!!!!!!

I am having a nightmare with this hunk of brown steaming excretia!!!!! Firstly you have to load songs through Media player-WHY!!!!! What was wrong with dragging and dropping it onto the memory card like I used to do with my Touch.
Second Having waited whilst windows makes me grow older loading toons on the card, having play ok for a week, its just decided it will only play the first 2 seconds of a song any song then lock up!!! It lets me see all my songs, artists, albums, artwork, everything but the bl00dy tease wont let me play em. Worst of all the windows media player on the phone plays it all fine!!!!
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you can drag and drop the files
thats the way i do it and i usually play via tf3d , but iv never had a problem of the music stopping
Do you keep your mp3s in a particular file on the sd card and do you "treat" them in any way album art tag edit etc? Cheers for the answer, this is driving me mad!
I drag and drop directly into the storage card. I avoid WMP when possible - it seems to take forever.
The only problem with drag and drop approach is that sometimes TF3D does not seem to see the update. So, you might have to stop TF3D and restart it - this forces the music player to rescann available files.
How do you stop Tf3d, and how long does your HD take to update the list when you restart it?
even though i use tf3d when i start the music player i always go in library option then choose my music through that
I created a folder on my SD called Music and dragged albums to it. Play them via TF3D and point the library at the SD. It scans the entire card to find the music. then lists them. Only problem I had is when I removed some music from the SD and they still appeared in the TF3D.Resolved it by finding the library file, deleting it and then rescanning card........
Don't bother with the WMP
quick questions for the pro here.... how can i have only one folder showing off my storage card. for example i hate having it scan all of the card, and having ringtones mixed in there.... i wish i could have music and ring tones separate how ever only full songs on the player

This is not something I do often but in the settings, personal, today you can deselect TF3D and then reselect it.
It seems that TF3D does not have a special "scan" button so the best way is to stop and restart TF3D. I have also Pocket Tunes and Pocket Player - both have scan options. But, I generally use TF3D.

Been looking for a way around this myself and I'm still yet to find anything. All my ringtones & music files all appear together which is annoying
Cheers to all the guys who answered the original question
Stopped using media player, wow what a relief.
Got a new problem now though After spending a night finding and adding album art, I loaded the mp3s, stopped and started TF3D, cool it saw the mp3s fine. Not so cool, it has "stuck on one of the album pics and wont move!!! the song changes, the title changes but the picture stays the same!!!
marmin you are not alone. I have the same problems with tf3d player and its almost killing me.
my k800i was perfect in this disciplin.
1.
I copied all my mp3s on my sd card (no activesync). I have 4 songs with different integrated covers and my player shows all the time the same cover.
2.
The other frustrating thing is the thing with ringtones. Somebody already mention it. I just want to say tf3D: "hey only scan this folder. the rest is none of your business. nothing else." but it scans all the time my whole device including ringtones.
Here is the file I deleted prior to a rescan (as mentioned in my previous post) .......
My Device\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng
although you could just rename it so you can change it back again if a problem arises.....
When I scanned afterward it recreated the entire music database from my SD including the assoication for image files to their respective albums.

i haven't tried this idea, but I think it would certainly be worth investigating (I'd check it for you guys but a bit busy till the weekend arrives). But for those that know how to edit the registry (really simple), try and add a new key to the respective TF3D music player folder called "Ignore". In the new key, add a 'string value' for your descritption (name of folder would do nicely). More importantly, set the "Data" to the full path of the folder to be ignored (something like "Storage Card\Ringtones"). I think this might work as it works with the TF3D album (forces it to ignore the folders which you tell it to and all its sub-folders). Please let me know if you try this and if it works or not (if no one tries it I'll try to give it a go over the weekend)
Good Luck (and hope it works)
Album art in the TF3D music player.
I am having those issues too. My problems started when I embedded the art into the MP3's. It not only hangs on the art, it also will only play about 2- seconds of the song before stopping. I can play the songs fine with the Windows media player though, so I had to put it on the programs tab so I could get to it easy.
Anothr thing about the HTC player, is it doesn't seem to go into sub folders very well, where the Windows player does. But like you said, it picks up on EVERYTHING, and that's extremely annoying.
Thought I'd give a shout out to S2P, a great freeware music player, which some of you will know of but other's might not:

As others have said, Nitrogen and Pocket Player are also great players

you are not allowed to copy music from pc to your sd card, but you have to put your sd card into the hd2, connect it to the pc and after that copy your music on it
The audiomanager does have issues with some tracks. Why im not sure yet. My blackstone with manila 2.5 also had an issue, but it didnt crash it, it just wouldnt advance through the tracks and slowed the player to a complete crawl. Im guessing its the way they were encoded or something wrong with the tagging that the manila player doesnt like.
I re-encoded the tracks and let the phone create its own album art, that seemed to work ok.

first it seemed so.. but it crashed again :S but now i know that it's the fault of some mp3 files... i copied only 30 of 56 albums and its working fine... so i have to copy 10 by 10 to see which mp3 file is causing it... sry for the wrong info.
I just noticed that if you press the update album art button in top right corner it starts working again and plays 10 or 15 seconds more of the track and then crashes

I used MP3val to fix my collection, googled it after someone mentioned it as a possible solution. Did the trick for me, it's working now.
Complete steps in my case:

- ran MP3val on Music folder on SD, fixed errors
Hope it helps!

Yep your right! Iv had to resort to putting the device in drive mode when plugged into pc and do a soft reset after each album, but the album art and songs are sure worth it

Will give it a go if I come across the issue after this method
Hi --
I seem to have the same issue. Audio Manager crashes on certain songs/albums and restarts Sense automatically. Soft reset doesn't change this. I have also edited all tags to make sure there are no comments/genres etc using mp3tag. Still music player will crash on the same song/album. WM plays just fine. Has anyone played with registry settings to fix this bug in HTC audio manager?
HD 2 Audio Manager and HTC messaging
I was so happy to have been able to purchase this device while on a recent trip to Hong Kong. To my surprise, I was unable to create text messages. I could see the incoming texts but when I hit the reply icon, the screen went "black". I could turn on the keyboard, but could not see anything in the black space above.
At the same time, there was a problem with the HTC music function. With the exception of the two sample songs, nothing else would play. The Windows Media Player worked but was a far cry from what I thought I was getting via HTC Sense technology.
I then erased the audio manager and to my surprise, the HTC Messaging worked flawlessly. When I reinstalled the audiomanager, the problem returned to the HTC Messaging.
Can you help sort this out?
Thanks for anything you can provide.
audiomanager or sms
Got the same problem here... I Installed the audiomanager (it does fix the audiomanager problem)...but I can't send sms cause the screen went black blank....
I tried remove the audiomanager application...and the sms function back to normal...but at the same time...the music player come with audiomanager problem again...
It's like we can only choose one of them...normal sms or fixed audiomanager.(it's really pissed me off)
please help me...

THX a lot!
My situation:
-music player from Manila 2.5 worked for several month and suddenly came to the same problem as we talking about here.
-Downloaded mp3val and scanned .mp3 in my storage card, then fixed them.
-After that, everything works fine like before.
Well I ca't believe that after all this time it's fixed. I suffered this problem with my diamond and thought that it would be resolved in the hd2, only to find after loading alll my music the problem was back, I assumed it was one of the albums that was drm causing it so removed it and deleted the .vol. Problem was still there then I removed all wma and aac files still there and then I found this post scanned and fixed with mp3val and all is well.
Bloody great thanks for the tip.
had the same problem
i had the same problem and fixed it with syncing with my pc

Noooooo - Audiomanager crashes

Just got my lovely HD2! Wunderbra!
However, I just put my 16GB card in with a music folder with about 12GB's of music, and periodically when listening to music I get a...
"We're sorry....
A problem has occurred with AudioManager_eng.exe"
And it closes
REALLY annoying, can anyone shed some light onto why this may be happening? Thanks

Well, I think I can, it's called - here it comes - a bug.
You may feel better knowing you are not the only one. I haven't yet reported it to HTC, so I think we all should and give them an incentive to put their teeth in it and fix this, because it really is VERY annoying.
For now, I'm reverting back to Pocketmusic, but I really want the AudioManager to work - it'll work with my car stereo over A2DP and it'll work with the buttons on the headset (for which I will replace the earpieces to decent ones...)
Oops, they did it again.
I have this problem with my HD all of a sudden, and have been searching quite a lot for a solution. What seems to work for people is reformatting the card. At least on HD I tried to install a different card with the same files and it worked.
Thanks! Thing is, I'm sure it's to do with the amount of music. I wanted to get a 32Gb SDHC card when they are available but I'm not sure it could handle it.
I do have a plan now though, since you mentioned the format thing. I formatted the card in windows. The HD 2 has a card formatting util, maybe it's related?? I'll try and I'll let you know. Also maybe the sub-folders go to deep ie /card/music/muse/resistance
Maybe if I make them shallower? I dunno...
So I'll try a few things and report back!
Re amount of music - at least it's not the case with HD. I moved everything but one album (and later just one song) to another card, and it doesn't solve the problem on the first one. All the files on the first card seem to be fine, I can read, write, copy everything, all other applications and players work except the Manila Audiomanager. Installing that other card with all the music (with all the subfolders, by the way) works fine. Go figure...
If reformatting doesn't work, the next thing I'd suggest that you try is removing album art and then reindexing your music (you'll find instructions about how to do it here on xda).
Oh, and one more thing I just recalled. Go to your library and see if all the music was indexed. If not, look at the last album (in alphabetic order) that was added. Try to delete it from the card and reindex.
mine crashes constant, i rarely get more then 90 seconds
Well it looks like it indexed everything....
I tried formatting the card using the HTC tool, recopying the data back to the card and it still crashed
When you say about the album art...
Do I remove folder.jpg from the folder that each album contains, or are you referring to removing all the embedded thumbnails in each of the mp3's?

I don't remember what it said, but I'd say go with the easier option first.
I used these steps to fix my library on my 16 GB card.
- format SD from HD2
- sync albums from WMPlayer by ActiveSync for correct folderstructure
- ran MP3val on Music folder on SD, fixed errors
http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/
Disable Microsoft error reporting and possibly it will just continue playing even if the error occurs. It's worth a try and also disabling error reporting solves lots of other issues.
How do you reindex your music tab guys?

Go to the device: Application data \ HTC \ Audiomanager_Eng folder, you will find a file there called "AudioManager_Eng.vol". Simply rename this file (add .old to it or something), and soft-reset your device. It will start indexing all over again, and you can now delete the renamed file.
I solved my crashes by doing the following:
- checked all the file-tags, updated them and changed the old v1 into v2.3 ones using mp3tag. There was one file with a messed up tag, deleted that.
- reindexed the music (see above).
It's been running smoothly a few hours now, in the car (A2DP) as well as on the headset or the device itself, no crashes yet. Seems the AudioManager will hang on indexing broken tags, so sort your tags ppl.
You are a clever bunch. I actually returned my HD2 because I decided I didn't want to be with vodaphone lol. I've gone back to o2 and the new one arrives tomorrow. I'll try all of your suggestions and I'll let you know how it goes!
Cheers Jon

the problem is with the memory card...when i copy music on mc the audio manager will crash but when sync with windows media playe there is no problem!!!1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So then it seems to me this all comes down to file structure. Best let Windows deal with it.....but oh how I hate transferring via active sync....
Would it work via WMP if it was synced via USB??

yea it will work..
guys try with another mc it should work...mine is working fine
Well that seems to have worked just syncing with WMP. It does lose some of the album art which is really annoying. So I've had to manually transfer some of the folder.jpg's into the relevant directories. Oh well no matter it works Thanks you guys!!
I think I found the problem; when you start up the Music player (not WMP) it automatically starts updating your library using Gracenote, and tries to play your selected music which causes the failure. I stopped the music and let the files began the update....and everything is now working.

Music player says "no"

Hey felas
To start with, I'm a fresh virgin in WM and just bought the Leo, flashed the ROM with 1.48.405.2 WWE and it's all a dream except ..
I go to the music player tab, play a song and in 5 to 20 seconds the song just stops playing. It doesnt pause it, just halts and when i hit the "play" button twice it plays from the start. Unusable..
I am using an 8GB SD, tried formatting it twice ( through win7 and WM ), tried uploading the songs via Media Player and by just copying them into the folder. Its all the same. Soft reseted the thing a gazzilion times and it still doesnt like me.
I searched trough the forum but didnt stumble upon anyone with a similar issue.
I give up. help?
Thanks in advance
That's frustrating. What's the format of your music files? And what's the bitrate? How do you have organized your music files. In seperate folders or in one large folder?
Just curious.
BTW, does this problem occurs constantly. I mean, if you leave your phone alone for a couple of hours and try to play the same music file then, does the same problem occur again, or is it just after an update of your music library.
appelflap this problem has been noticed by others. You might want to check out this thread which documents several solutions.
Slow Music player
try to erase the Music maps inthe sd card and create a new one,put music inthis first,more less like 200 tracks and start again the player,if this work put more music
Thank you for the assistance guys The problem were the mp3's I guess.. or the dumb HTC developer that coded the Media Player. Anyhow, I reckon i might like this forum after all.
Happy holidays
The solution ?
Hi. I experienced the same problem with my music player. I noticed that EVERYTIME I connect my LEO with a computer, whether or not I add new music files, the music player would just "stuck", find no music files, display the message "No music found" when I turn it to landscape.
Found the answer on another forum. Actually, "our" music player is unable to read some MP3 ID3 TAG... It seems to be only reliable with ID3 version 2.4 UTF-8 type tags. So what you should do is "simply" convert all mp3 files on your storage card to the appropriate ID3 format. It's not very long since you don't have to recompress the audio files! You can use mp3Tag to apply change to all your mp3s at once. More info in this threat => http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=42474
One definitive solution would be to convert ID3 tags of all your music collection! It would take quite some time... unless somebody find the way to fix this with a magic cab?
This just adds to the very long list of issues of this "wonderful" piece of technology. Thanks who?
