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

Here's what happened...
There was an icon inside my games folder that didnt do anything. Clicking it just gave me an error (forgot the error already). I took the risk and deleted the icon. After a reset, my Games folder was showing up as an ordinary folder (no card icon below it).
Can anyone copy their Games folder and attach to this post??? Or maybe just give me the solution...
~ishtangli
maybe that's a glitch in the system files... why don't you just hard reset your phone? back up your contacts and calendar of course..
Attached is the file you have deleted. This file is the icon for the Games folder (it's actually a shortcut file). You can customize the icon of any folder by creating a file named "icon.lnk" with a content similar below:
1#ceshell.dll,-162
Using a 3rd party File Explorer (e.g. Resco), you will be able to see this file. Using the defaul File Explorer, you will only be able to see this file when you turn on "View All Files" option (tap and hold on any open area of the default File Explorer and this option will be shown on the context menu).
In my experience, this icon appears inside the Games folder when I go through Start -> Programs -> Games when the "View All Files" option is turned on. Try turning it off and this icon file disappears.
Have fun,

Marc,
It would take too long to restore all my applications and settings if i Hard Reset.
File didnt work. Placed it inside the Games folder and reset my device. Have you had experience restoring any of these icon files?
~ishtangli
Nope, didn't have such problem. I also deleted that icon.lnk in the Games folder before thinking that it was installed wrongfully by some of the 3rd party apps... to my surprise, the Games folder was reduced to an ordinary folder icon when I go to the Programs menu. So what I did was got that file from one of my colleagues, copied it to my device and tried to solve the issue of hiding that icon file. Below are the current screen shots from my pocket pc... hope it helps...
ishtangli, my ROM is still the stock one: 1.66 WWE... so am not sure if the functionality was changed in other ROM upgrades (1.72, WM2003SE) =)
that's a very possible suggestion! i think the functionality wouldnt change in other rom versions.. i'd say go with the RESCO solution
Maybe some kind soul could post their entire games folder...
~ishtangli
Here it is...
still didnt work. hmmm.... seems kinda simple but it just wont work. WM2003SE thing?!?! Whatever it is, im not hard resetting my device just to get some damn icon back. Thanks guys! If you find any solution, post it here aite...

Games Icon
Try this.
Download, unzip and copy the icon.lnk file within to the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games folder.
It is a shortcut to target the shell *.dll file that contains the icon that is displayed for the games folder: shellres.dll,-8229
So that must be the difference, the link to the icon file...
from
1#ceshell.dll,-162 (ROM1.66)
to
shellres.dll,-8229 (WM2003SE)...
Yeah

how do you install them on the Exec...... downloaded a few but I don't know which folder to put them in...
anyone? :roll: lol
bump again.... come on someone must know how to put skins on media player.....
where'd you download wmp10 skins from? to install, the skins should have their own folder. using activesync copy and paste that folder in the windows media folder:
file explorer -> my device -> program files -> windows media player -> paste skin folder
cheers
Help with WMP 10 and Skins
I've downloaded a skin posted on the forum, G.AMP and put it in this folder:
\Program Files\Windows Media Player\G.amp~WMP
When you go into Windows Media Player 10 it does not find the skin.
I have WM 2005 and WMP 10 and an XDA Exec 3G.
Any help much appreciated, Declan.
I'm sure I just put mine in My Documents and it found it.
HTH
Fin
I have tryed for ages to change the skin in media player but there is no way ive found.
i did notice that there is a *192.bmp file in the windows directory (windows\) that if you open looks just like the default skin. if i rename the default(portrait).skn file in the \Program files\media player\ folder then media player wont start in portrait mode so its definutly pulling the skin from there but all the different ways i put the skin files i have it just wont work, not even if i rename then the default(portrait) will it work.
Has anyone got this to work?
im just trying to keep this post alive!, i still cant manage to get this to work.
Also i found a way to display album art, just copy the picture of the album into the folder of the album and change the name to "Folder.jpg", now whenever a song is played from the folder WMP will show the picture
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
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.
