TF3D Music Player won't play

if this subject has been discussed somewhere else, i am sorry. please just point me there
the basic ideea is that i can't use the tf3d music player to play anything.
with the 2 demo songs it starts (after very long time) play 3-5 seconds then stops
any other songs from the sd card is not found, just some mp3 ringtones (not all of them) but is the same problem - plays few sec and stops
what am i doying wrong? core, wm, gsp and all other music player works nice, but not this one.
please help because i found it appealing to use/
thank you!

please guys, no one with this problem?
i added my songs to my sdcard by sincronising with wmplayer and just copying them to my card
both methods failed. if i copy them the tf3d player doesn't sees them at all
if i syncronize them, some of them appear some not, but event those seen by tf3d player can't be played. it starts after an eternity, plays 2-3 secs and stops. it is very annoying nad i have no clue what am i doing wrong.
thanks a bunch!

iv had problems with the music player myself , im sure what the problem is with songs only playing 2-3 secs.
But as tf3d goes when i sync my phone to copy music i always use direct drive (the middle option)
if i sync with wmp player i may get like 2 songs not syncing with the rest of the album
to get albums to show in tf3d put the album you want into the artist folder then copy to Music on your memory stick e.g day & age>the killers>MUSIC
but if you do it this way day & age>MUSIC the albums will show in your libary in tf3d but it sometimes take 20 secs to refresh

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?

Problem with SENSE Music player

i tried to play music from the desktop but i can't see any songs or any albums..
i got a message says (The music titles in the playlist no longer exist. They may have been deleted or the storage card may have been removed) ..
in spite of i have songs on the device and on the storage card.. and i can play them with the media player and other apps...
i need your help guys.. how do i fix the Sense Music player to see my Songs/Albums list again!?
thanks alot

Does this happen when your phone is connected to your computer ? If so it sounds like your hd2 id set to work as a removable storage device when its connected to your pc, where the sd card becomes unavaliable to the phone and you can only access it from tue computer to transfer files.

reply
no i set the device on ActiveSync and the device not connected to pc.. still not working :s
Any genius here?

I have the exact same problem. The songs are located on the SD and I can play them with WMP or CorePlayer but Sense can't seem to locate them.
I didn't have this problem 2 days ago, but yesterday I copied 4 more albums to my SD card and since then Sense Music can't locate anything.
I have about 2GB of music but I doubt there's some limit. I tryied removing the SD and soft resetting the device a few times but it didn't fix the problem.
The card is in good shape and all apps installed on it work just fine.

I've had this issue on a couple of occasions. The sense player shows no files, but, of course, there are! I actually coaxed the Sense player into finding them by going to the menu tab and selected Add to Playlist. My files were THERE, but not in the actual Sense UI. I selected a song, it started to play, and then, voila, all of the files populated the Sense player again. It's odd...

not sure if I have the same problem, but when it happens to me, I just wait for ages and then they reappear. I think it just takes the Audio Manager Engine ages to re-scan your memory card after it has been connected to a pc. I often find that I can see files on the song tab before they appear on the Album or Artist tab.

this happens to me everytime i add a track or tracks, and every time i soft reset, all you have to do is go to song tab when phone is in horizintal view ( click library> slide to songs ) individual songs are there l, just play one then everything starts comeing back....

hellyeah!
Damn you're a genious!!
i've been trying for hours..
now i got my music back in sense player!
thanks!

Why does the stock Music player freeze every time

Love the phone, However I am going crazy after loading my mp3s. About 2 gigs worth. They all freeze about 12 seconds into playing. However if I dig deep with windows media player into files they play fine. Is there an update ?
Thanks

give this a read, Usually connected to a bad file somewhere, or a track (tracks) with odd tags, or v1 tags, or all tracks in one folder
There are several threads, not just the one below that i listed to get you started.

EDIT - also worth letting your phone run through updating all teh album art and what not without disturbing it. connect to wifi, start teh update and leave it till its finished.
EDIT EDIT - heres another thread, same symptoms

still no luck.I did check mp3s, removed album art and any files in folders not music. Let it download album art. Still freezes after a few seconds. this sucks

I'm guessing there is a song with a name that uses a character which is unknown and even if that's not it, then it's still likely it's just one or two files that are causing the problem. You can go through your songs and see if you see any weird (foreign) characters or boxes and if so get rid of them.
The other way:
Move half your songs over to the device, if problem occurs than there is an issue with a file there. Remove second half of what you moved to the card (aka, you should only have first quarter of the songs on your card). Check if error persists, if so continue in said matter. If no error occurred with your first total half of music, add half of the remaining songs (for a total of 3/4 of your music). Continue in that manner until you find the file or files that are causing issues.
Depending on your amount of music this might take a couple minutes, but buy doing half the remaining songs at once, you're going as quickly as possible.
Hope you find the problematic file/files.
Good luck

same ANNOYING problem, on many roms even on my TP2 with leo roms.... freezes and in artist section shows no artist but in all files they are all there. freezes sense whole most times... really annoying. i have 5 gigs of music and im not going through them all so sense music player is happy. i have to use sub par Win media...

Thanks for the help. This is total crap! I thought I had it licked as I deleted all music and playlist from SD card. Then used Media Monday to load about 2gigs of MP3s. checking after each one. The H2 downloaded artwork and was working! Or I thought. I added one more CD and wammo there it was freezing again. So I thought it was that one cd. Deleted it and still freeZing. So I then loaded just that cd after formating again. The CD worked fine on its own. So I then deleted it and loaded everthing again with media monkey. Everything worked.
So I then copied a avi movie to its own folder on SD card. Went to play music and WFT its freezing again. Deleted avi but still freezing. Too late tonight to format and load 2 gigs again. Plus this is crap. Now I have to delte and load everytime I want to put more mp3s on card>?
Plus if I put any video file or any other file it seems to throw it into freezing again. This player is too temprementel. Too many of us having issues with the player. They need to upgrade it to work properly.

Had that problem yesterday after I loaded music several times after finding duplicates (I hate it when I have duplicate songs), so the stock media player kept freezing and not finding all the songs. so I opened Total Commander and went to
\Aplication Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\
and deleted the AudioManager_Eng.vol file there and rebooted, and then went back to the music tab and within a few minutes all my media was loaded, and my freezing problems went away...

I tried deleteing the HTC eng file you mentioned. Soft reboot and then when I go to Music player it searches and still plays a few seconds and white circle spins and then freezes. These MP3s worked and now dont. Just can not figure this out. No duplicate files, No long names. Loaded with mediamonkey. I did not convert to all 192 as I can not find auto convert freature in media monkey gold

I am having the same problem. I downloaded some music and the music player worked fine. then i downloaded some more music and tried to use the player it it freezes my phone and i have to do a battery pull to get back working. I have deleted all my music thinking there was a bad file and even that didn't work. this phone is garbage....i should of stuck with my BlackBerry or got an iPhone....this phone may have a place on Craigslist soon if it doesn't start working right

i'm new to this site & the hd2. i'm having so many issues with some songs "buffering". it didn't start till today & i've had the phone for 2 days now on the 3rd some songs just don't want to work. i haven't downloaded anything new so i'm not sure why this is happening. i was told that there's a free media player that's better then the stock. does anyone have any suggestions on what it may be or where to download a new media player?

Hey circles, welcome
The issue with the stock music player and freezing etc is well known, you'll find at least 6-7 other threads besides this one on the same subject.
There's different things you can try to get around the issue, but none of them work in all cases for everybody, so often the easiest thing to do is just use an aftermarket player to sidestep the issue (which has to do with the HTC player built-in to your interface). One of the most common free alternatives is TCPMP...the newest official versions are paid software now, but there's still previous versions available here, the link below has one of the latest builds:

[Q] Windows Media Player: Song Buffer Problem

I got HTC HD mini 6.5.3 version. I have problem in playing songs through windows media player 10.
I installed 16 GB SD card with nearly 800 songs withing 6 GB with different folder structure. So 10 GB is still free in SD card & nearly 150 MB free internal memory.
Now when i select a folder to play in windows media player library even after updating library playlist and added the songs to the playlist.
After selecting a song to play by selecting a particular folder the song starts buffering for round about 10 seconds and even it takes few second to play/pause of skipping to next song it seems like phone hangs for few minutes.
I even defragment the SD card and partitioned & placed 100 stack of songs in different songs but it can't sort out my problem.
Apart from these there is no problem in anything or any application in phone overall. Please help to get me out of these problem.

6gb
Its probably cuz u have many songs within 6gb, have u tried to play a song without all the songs in the phone and only 1 song? You could also try to go to File Explorer and go to ur map and select a song and see if i works like that, unless i actually dont know save all ur files and then restore the phone?

Thanks for your reply, Its works fine if i select 1 song & play through file explorer, but its a matter of playing songs in continuity within that folder, I also tried hard reset of the phone, the only solution I got is if i store round about 250-300 songs with 100 songs in 1 folder then it works fine, without any problem. But by only concern is about its 32 GB capacity & still opting to buffer unless there is lot more free space and the songs are within the SD card, Its not like online streaming or anything like that...

Deleting AudioManager_Eng.vol, this worked fine. After a soft reset the play list is refreshed within the Audio manager, it just take few seconds to skip to next song. Overall it worked better than in Windows Media Player buffer problem which is still occurring every time. Even the service center people don't have any answer, they tested the software as well as phone to be OK...
