Hello i have a little problem, concidering that i have lots on mp3 files and movies (MP4) so when im going to my music tab in windows player and when im refreshing the library-player shows me all my music files and movie files at once. It kinda annoy me.So is there any way to seperate these files not to be shown at once so if i go to music it shows me only files which are mp3??
Has any one else been having problems with the media panel?
I've got a memory card with some music on it, and a lot of it plays fine, but there some songs do not. When I try to play them, it just skips to the next one. The weird thing is, the problem is only with the media panel. If I use windows media player and select the files, they play just fine.
I'm also having problems with the song information with several of them. When browsing my music, the song names, artists, albums, etc. arent registering for some reason. It just lists the file names, and says 'unknown artist'. I used windows media player on my computer and filled in the information, then put the files back on my xperia, but it still doesnt show up.
Has anyone else had any of these problems, and does anybody know of any solutions?
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
Hi,
How do i make the on the road panel play music if there are folders inside a main folder?
For example...
This is my folder structure
Storage Card > Music > And then various artists folders...
I want all the music inside the Music folder to be played... but it's not doing that
The panel is gorgeous by the way.
wtf is the "on the road" panel?
Is you are talking about the Sony Ericson Media Player Panel, the music should be recognized immediately. Make sure it's mp3.
Sadly, I dont believe you can do that. Not sure of any media players that can. The Media Xperiance panel might find the songs, but that one doesnt even play half of mine, and they are in MP3 and everything.
Why do you have them all in folders like that anyway? It isnt necessary or even helpful on the X1.
and for Poetryrocksalot, the On the road panel is one of the new ones, due to be released today or tomorrow. You can get them already. There's a topic with links to it around here somewhere.
I sync all my music with winamp... and it puts it in these folders...
Anyway... i will try to sync all of my music with someother software and see...
Thanks anyway.
I'm having the same issue. My music is organized the same way and on the road recognized it all once, but since then I have not been able to get it to do so. For some reason it only recognizs 40 out of the 1000 tracks I have on my card. And those are all artists beginning with A. Not sure what is going on but if you find anything the help would be appreciated!
Lot of softwares can handle structure like this. TCPMP, S2P, Core player.
You know what I think, if they make a fix for this, this fix should be a choice. Just in case some people only want 1 folder to be played, or better yet a selection of folders.
The on-the-road panel does only play the music files in the selected folder and not recursive.
Ok, I've had my HD since feb and always found the touchflo3d music player a little buggy but after getting a couple of problems which i put down to having over 700 tracks in my music folder, I decided to delete all of my music, delete the wmdrms folder and started from scratch. I only put about 50 tracks on and when i go to the music player it searches for some time and says no music found. i tried updating the library in the windows media player app but although this states that it has found hundreds of music files the app crashes while searching. every time i go to look at the library from the TF3D music player, all the info is for the music I had before I deleted it all from the card!?
Any ideas peeps?
Sorted!
deleted the HTC audio manager files and rebooted.
