Music will not start - HD2 General

Hi,
I used Microsoft ActiveSync Explorer to delete and move some music files. Now HTC Music will not start. Instead it just restarts HTC Sense. I believe this may well be because the current album playing was one that I removed or edited so it cannot find it. The files play perfectly fine with WMP.
Any ideas how I can overcome this?
Cheers.

Bump, sorry.

I tried removing all music from the device. No affect. HTC sense still restarts. I did a search through the registry and found HKLM/Software/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/information with several strings relating to a removed album. I modified these to point to a new one but still no luck. I have also tried modifying HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/Music. Sense still restarts.
Can anyone help?

Stuck playlist in HTC audio manager

Can anyone help with this or give me some advice (hoping not to hard reset as i've just got it all configured like I want it)
I seem to have a playlist stuck in the HTC audio manager.
I use WMP11 to sync my tracks with the audio manager and all is good apart from I deleted some tracks and playlists off (again using WMP11) but although the tracks have gone from the touch pro 2 the playlist is still showing up in the audio manager even though the actual file has gone from /Storage Card/Playlists.
I've tried searching through the Touch via file explorer to try and find if it might be held somewhere else but no luck.
Anyone got any advice?
I had a similar issue after I deleted the sample rubbish.... once I loaded some music files on the sd card, I went into all programs on the device and selected update library.... bad playlists went away
Hmmm i've been into "all programs" but can't see anything called update library
Ahh you mean in windows media player mobile - found it now so will give that a try
Nope didn't work, in windows media on the touch it shows the correct playlists but in HTC audio manager it still shows ones that shouldn't be there as they've been deleted.
Same problem over here
I experience the same problem. Some old crap remains in the library and I can't manage to get it removed.
Any tips?
Go to:
/Application Data/HTC/AudioManager
and erase EVERYTHING in this folder, EVERYTHING.
Soft Reset Touch Pro 2 and open Audio Manager. It will begin to rebuild the entire database of music and erase your mistakes.
Hope it help

TouchFlo Music player error

I put all my music on my microSD card and when I go to the music tab it will search then say "IDS_Music_Not_Exist". Has anyone else ran into this or found a fix?
Ok never mind I posted too soon, It was only because i delete the other music and I was used to my Diamond that defaulted to all music. Go to the all music tab and you will be all set.
I did the same thing and am now having the same problem. Isn't there a way to pint the music player to a new library location so all the albums show up?
Possible Fix?
Hey guys, I don't actually have an Imagio, but I'm doing my best with the Wiki for it. As soon as a potential solution is found, or another user reporting the same bug, I'll add this thread to the Imagio Wiki.
Has anyone checked to see if Windows Media Player is included in the Imagio? If it's there you might be able to point it to your SD Card and "rebuild" your library from there. It MIGHT not be related to the TF3D player, but in my old Diamond this is what fixed it for me. Either that or it was just a shear coincidence and time solved the problem.
Another theory is to check your existing "My Documents" or "Music" folder for the cache files. You may need an app like Total Commander to view the file as it may be hidden. Deleting the cache means that it'll be forced to be rebuilt.

Problem with audiomanager_eng.exe

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

like i said.. try copying your music for example 50 by 50 and try it on your hd2... smoehow one of my eminem albums was causing the problem... now it's running like a charm
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:
- format SD from HD2
- sync albums from WMPlayer by ActiveSync for correct folderstructure
- 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.

This is the ultramate sloution for me! works just fine!
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.

Manila 2.5 Music player stopping

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
Chrissssssss said:
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.

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.

Cover Art Problem

I have the T-Mobile USA HD2, latest stock ROM.
I really like the HTC music player that comes with it, due to that cool feature when turning the phone to landscape, the way that one can scroll through album covers.
The only problem--it somehow cannot see a lot of the cover art, and shows a default blank cover for many albums.
The cover art for those albums is there--for instance, if I play the same album in Windows Media Player or TCPMP, one sees the cover art. But the HTC Music Player shows that blank album cover for many albums.
I do the command of "Update Album Art", and it shows it is connecting to Gracenote, but that does not help.
Anyone here found a fix for the problem?
In doing a search on Google, I found a thread where the problem was discussed concerning a different HTC phone, I think an Android model. One poster found a solution to delete the database through Managed Programs, then reboot, which rebuilt the database. (Some others tried that, and it did not work though.) Anyhow, on the HD2, there is nothing in Managed Programs about deleting the database. Anyone know how to do it? Find the database file in File Manager and delete it that way?
Anyhow, if anyone has solved the problem on the HD2, please share your solution.
