Hi,
I accidentally pressed "update music" in windows media player.
Now I have every sound file and I don't want it all in the library.
Is there anyway to select all and delete all the sound files?...I don't want to delete one by one theres over a thousand sound files!
Also when it ask to permenately delete from device does it mean that the sound is gone forever even if it's stored in my storage card?
Thanks:]
I know there's a registry tweak you have to do for picture files not appearing in your HTC Album but I'm not sure if there's any for music files. I'd also like to know how this can be avoided.

Hi
Could anyone tell me how I get the music part of touchflo to read mp3 files on my storage card
I deleted the stock 2 music files from my documents/music folder and now it just tells me there are no files found !
Thanks
I'm not sure exactly why the music player is not seeing your music files, but I can pass on some useful tips that I have discovered. Please excuse me if these have been covered elsewhere, or if some of them seem terribly obvious to experienced users :
(1) Put all the tracks from a particular album inside their own folder, and save each such album folder in a "My Music" folder on the SD card. This keeps things nice and organised.
(2) Try to ensure that each track MP3 file has got the various "meta tags" set properly to describe the track number, artist, album etc because the music player uses those for sorting and filing the tracks. There is a handy program called Tag&Rename that is very helpful to edit these tags.
(3) If you place a JPG image called "Folder.jpg" inside each album folder, the music player will make a copy called "hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg" which it displays when you play back that track or when chosing albums. Once the music player has made this file, you can delete "Folder.jpg" to save space.
(4) The music player may take several minutes to index all the music if you have many files. Be patient! Until it has indexed fully, some tracks may not appear in the music library at all, or appear with music note images instead of the proper album image.
(5) If the indexing seems to have any problems, switch off the HD with a long press of the power button or do a soft reset. This seems to force it to re-index all the music.
(6) I had a problem when I first copied all my music to the device. It made an error message afte a while. I tracked this down to one particular music track; I don't know why, but suspect that there may have been something odd in the meta tags.
Hope this helps !

the best way, i think is sync the music files with wmp in your pc
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

There's a registry entry that declares a folder which is not scanned by Audio Manager. It is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\C onfig:ring_tone_path
By default it would be "\My Documents\My ringtones\" (don't know for sure, I'm on a dutch ROM atm). You can change this to another location if you like, but I it won't take a location on your storagecard, unfortunately. It means you will have to keep ring-tones in the device memory. For me this is no problem because I only carry a few dozen tones with me.
thx for reply.i have done this by using Resco Explorer.all the folders that contains ringtones and files i do not want to show up in music tab i simply set as hiden.that did the trick for me.manila will no longer pick them up.

Thanks for this, this has helped improve matters somewhat, but I still have a folder full of audio books (very large, so needs to be on storage card) that still show up and I would rather they didn't. Any one know of a way of hiding these from Audio Manager?
Havin a real weird problem with my music player, need some help.
I've put my ringtones and notifications in all the different locations that the media player is supposed to ignore, though not all at the same time
/sdcard/ringtones
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/sd/ringtones
/sdcard/sd/media/ringtones
etc, same for notifications
No matter where I place them, though the media player still is picking them up. I would put a .nomedia in the folder, but prevents them from showing in the ringtone/notification lists in Settings.
Is there any way to stop this from happening? I first noticed this behavior after rooting, but would just installing SU and busybox really cause music player to read these folders that are supposedly hidden to it?
This is driving me nuts when I'm listening to music and suddenly my ringtone starts playing and I think I'm getting a call!
Thanks.

this problem has been driving me nuts too. but you putting it into words just gave me an idea, try the no media thing, so it prevents them from showing up in the settings lists, but then try going "oldschool" (lol) and using rings extended from the market. it was an app first released for the g1 to see and select ringtones on the sd card that the settings lists weren't picking up.
00000
where exactly did you put the .nomedia? and what kind of file was it? or was it the name of a file or folder?
i'm down to help figure this one out ucz this music player is starting to piss me off with it's badass look yet completely lacking in options.
ps: another good feature of the stock android music player was that if you hit the context menu while a song was playing, it had a "delete" option. this was great for someone like me who dumped tons of new music i just wanted to have on the phone, and when i party shuffled, i could be like, "WTF is this unworthy for mobile listening sh!t? *delete". haha miss that option so...
yep...this is bugging me too...i just download a game and all the SFX shows on my albums list...and the ringtones that i have download from zedge...however a easy solution for me is was creating playlists...i really like this phone and it getting better and better...specially now that i found out that there's a equalizer in the music player...excellent.
Hopefully there will be solutions for this little bugs...i'm still keeping my phone the way it is.
Playlists works too, except I have like 3gb of music on my card, it takes a long time to go through and individually add all the songs to a playlist.
I found out that the music player ignores .mid files, so I just renamed all my .mp3 files to .mid. Phone still picks them up for use as ringtones/notifications.
I tried both a .nomedia file (just create a new file on your computer named whatever.nomedia, copy it to your phone and use Astro or Files to rename it to .nomedia) and naming the folder .media, but in both cases none of the ringtone files showed up in the ringtones list.

Ok. Talking about the wildfire default "Music Player" application here.
When "Music Player" scans any mp3 files (without embedded pic) for the 1st time, it checks for the presence of any picture in the folder where mp3 file is present. This happens with every folder where the mp3 files are present. Once pictures are found, it tags the picture file to the music file and shows it as an album art pic in the music player. The solution to this is make sure that the folder of mp3 files donot contain any picture files. Then for making fresh changes, go to settings/applications/manage applications/all/ then open "media storage" and clear data (then unmount and remount the mem card or just restart phone). Thats all.
And if two files (with diff. embedded pics kept in same folder) have the same album name, it shows single pic for both files.
There is an android app named "Mp3 Tag Editor" with which u can edit few things. And with PC app titled MP3 TAG, u can even change/remove the embedded pic. Below im attaching a doc file which might be helpful related to this.
[we might be thinking this as an issue, but this feature will be useful when we create different folders for mp3 files according to artist/album name. We can use our desired picture for a group of mp3 files (without embedded pic) if they are kept in a folder along with that picture.]
