Hi im new here and this is my first post.
When i first tried to upload songs into my library from the Storage card, it worked fine, but now im not having the same luck.
After i begin to update my library it detects all the mp3 on the storage card but then when its adding them to the library it stops about half way and just lags for about a minute or 2. Then when it says done, the mp3 have not been uploaded at all. I've tried several times but with the same results.
It seems like the only way i can play the mp3's from the storage device in windows media player is my individually selecting the files and playing them one at time
Is there someway to fix this problem?
Is there another mp3 player that can be added to the TYTN?
Is there another way to play mp3's from your storage device without adding them to your library?
Thanks!

This is a standard WM5 problem.
Find MSmetadata folder on storage card - DELETE it (need file explorer set to show all files - hidden files)
Should find it works better now. Reconstruct library.
If still stuck see here:

That worked perfectly and resolved my problem
Thanks alot.
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?
Hi. I'm new to this so apologies if this problem has already been answered. I've bought and installed a 16GB sd card in my HD2 and have transferred a fair bit of music to listen to. However media player is playing albums in an incorrect order (seemingly random, not alphabetical). When I transfer an album from the sd card to the 'my music' folder on the device, it plays in the right order! I've tried neptune which plays in the correct order but that won't respond to my bluetooth headset (when I press play, it automatically uses media player). Now when I copied and pasted an album onto my device which was also on the sd card, media player displayed the tracks twice in the correct order 1-15 consecutively (1-15, then 1-15 again). I deleted the device version and the sd card version went back to the seemingly random order. Can anyone solve this irritating problem?
Addition
Could I just add that when I say the problem is with windows media player I am reffering to the music player within HTC sense. Please help!
I have the same issue, very irritating , could anybody help please??
A poor solution
Right, until I can better this I'm gonna cut and paste the album I want to listen to from the sd card onto the device.
No
No, that doesn't work
Have the same problem with the HTC music application and Windows Media Player. Pocket Player and Pocket Tunes don't have this problem.
A solution that works!
Right, it's like this. Got to settings>personalize>home screen tabs and uncheck 'music'. Open 'Windows media player' either by playing a song off your music folder or adding a quick link to it. Then click 'library' and get it to scan for al your files. Now use windows media player as your player not HTC sense and it will all be fine. Thank goodness!
is there the same resolution for the HTC player?
Thanks mate. Now I can see it works fine on the Windows media player. but thats a pain to use with those annoying menus. I like the HTC player as its very much like the iphone player & its easy to use. Has anyone found the fix for the HTC player or is there another good working player thats similar to the iphone player.
Cheers
Shala
Hasn't anyone found a solution to this silly problem yet?
When you transfer music to the device, it apparently removes any existing track order, yet not every album is out of order when I play it on the HD2! It makes no sense at all.
Using WMP is no solution, I'd rather play the music without order or sit for several hours making playlists for every album.
EDIT: Googling the problem, I found a thread about a problem like this for the HTC Touch Pro, where a solution was proposed:
Found a solution for you...
you will need a registry editor for your HTC Touch Pro. I recommend the PHM registry editor (google it).
Locate the following key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored and modify the key Music Gizmo1 to the path you want the music file to be stored. I created a folder on the SD card named MUSIC and updated the path to \Storage Card\Music then rebooted the phone and all is well. Now I can turn off my phone, pop in the SD card and copy all my tunes over and bam.. I have all my songs at my finger tips. I hope this helps

I'll be trying it later today.
hi,
if this does not work, i can share my application. It scans your music folder and generates playlists in the correct order.
it uses mp3 and wma tags for cd and track sequence. it works well for me but sometimes you need to clean up tags on desktop before copying music.
I have a 16 gb card as well and all my albums are ordered correctly using playlists instead.
I am sure using media monkey to synch gives you an option to push playlists as well and should give desured results.

Damn, it didn't work. Quite disappointing.
Now how about this app that you mentioned?
And I can't find such a function in Media Monkey, any ideas?
Regarding media monkey please have a look at here:
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f41/tutorial-syncing-music-and-playlists-3761/
You will need to connect the device in usb disk mode and then you can synchronise playlists when uploading tracks.
I will upload the application later on today or earlier tomorrow morning. I would however recommend the option above first as the application I have is picky on the tags and it expects track numbers and disc numbers to be set correctly in metadata.

They are. I'm also picky.
But yeah, the Media Monkey solution does sound smoother, I will try it out.
Thanks.
Hi again,
I have attached the files to this post. I still think, if Media Monkey option works for you thats the way to go. But this little tool helped me with the track order issues I had.
If your files are not in \Storage Card\music folder, you will need to set the location using the botton next to the text box.
Then you need to point the location to save the playlists. For me "\storage card\playlists" worked with every version of manila I used (Polaris, Diamond, HD, HD2)
It only supports mp3 and wma so there isnt much point to add more extensions, however you can remove one to exclude files of that extension.
Once all set up, you need to chose file - > Create playlists and application will scan your files and save the playlists in desired location.
I am using it with 16GB card and on Hd2 its pretty fast.
Here are some limitations:
1 - Extra information is created in the palylist file but still, when you select the playlist in manila player, it does not show fields like artist.
2 - Although some tags are valid, they cause errors in the application. I have some very old track I converted from CD's records mid/late 90s and if I see the issue on the mobile, I just run an application like Musicbrainz Picard to reftesh the tags and it all working again.
3 - If you have multi cd albums and disc numbers are not tagged, the track order may not be correct.
I always use usb mode to copy tracks and for me this tool works good enough to create the playlists the way I want to listen.
Hope it helps someone.
Simple Fix that worked for me
I to had the same problem with CD coming up in the wrong order in the player in HTC sense. When I checked what CD's were in the wrong order I noticed that they were all ones I had purchased off itunes and that the track information wasn't being picked up by my windows desktop. So i converted all my itunes music to MP3s using real player converter and now all of my library is in the correct order.
Hello,
I have the same problem. However, the tags are properly showing in all of these software :
MusicBrainz Picard
Windows Media Player
Windows 7 properties
So the track numbers seem to be correctly assigned. But still, the album tracks don't appear in the correct order for several albums in the HTC audio software.
The playlist utility keeps crashing on me, too.
By the way the HTC support regarding this issue is *terrible*, they keep telling me that the player sorts the music by "last time you played it". Nope. It doesn't. If so, when I play a single track, it would either pop at first place in the album or last place, depending on what they meant in their ballistic explanation (1 sentence). It, obviously, doesn't, and a player acting like that would be the stupidest music player in the world.
Does anyone have a solution ?
Did the "MediaMonkey" solution work,Overlord Yuri ?
Thanks in advance for any anwsers,
Regards

I barely tried and didn't have any luck. Since then I've given up..
Oh, okay.
Thank you for your input, anyway.
This thing with the HTC support is starting to get on my nerves, especially how they still try to convince me that the problem will go away if I hard reset the phone (nope, done two times already due to FixOperaFlash ruining my config, and still the music player doesn't work)...
I have figured a work around to the track order problem.
Download mp3tag you can find it on download.com or just google it.
I opend up all my music and looked at the albums that were out of order.
They seemed fine. I just right click on the track and saved the tag. I though why not nothing else seems to work.
I resynced the album and it was in order!
I guess try it out and see if it works.
S**t man , it worked !
HUGE thanks to you !
By the way I just opened the whole library (which was already on the phone), selected all, and clicked on save so it refreshed all tags. And after deleting /Application Data/HTC/Audio Manager/AudioManager_eng.vol so it regenerates the library, it worked like a charm.
Hello, my name is Fernando.
First of all, I apologize for my english, but my natural speak is Spanish.
I have a problem with the HTC HD2 music player HD2 since I bougt it 2 weeks ago.
When try to playing a song from any album with the player, I see the spinning circle in the upper left corner.
Please, seek a video of that in YouTube called "HTC HD2 music player stop after a few seconds" (I can't post it 'cause I'm a new user ...)
I assume that is seeking changes and updating the music library. After a few seconds (30 approximately) the music stops and can’t access the library. Even in landscape view, the library is empty (see video on the end part).
I searched help into this site and various others forums on the Internet, and I found many people with the same problema, but no effective solution.
The files are stored in “Storage Card \ Music \ Artist \ Album” folder structure, and they are called “01 - TrackName_AlbumName_ArtistName.mp3” structure.
My phone has the following software characteristics:
(Please see pic attached)
I have made many unsuccessful trials to solve this mistake, I will try to list all of them:
• Updating or changing ROM versions to 6.5.3 , 6.5.5 and 6.5 (actually running 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE version from laurentius26, that is excelent by the way)
• Update Manila version
• Update Radio version
• Format memory card (8 GB) with the PC in Disk Storage mode.
• Format memory card (8 GB) since the included HTC HD2 Format SD Card app.
• Conversion of all audio files to MP3 format 192 Kb / s (no WMA files)
• Tag all files to ID3v2.4 UTF-8
• Put a file called folder.jpg in each audio folder with the correct front album cover disc (all albums are showing it correctly)
• Change the length of the audio MP3 filenames (shortest names for test)
• Change the folder of the files locations (put all in the root folder of the SD Card for test)
• Delete the file located into “Application Data \ HTC \ AudioManager_Eng” and called “AudioManager_Eng.vol” several times to be generated again when start the player for first time.
But nothing Works !!! …the software always stops after a few seconds of use.
At this moment I'm using another software called S2P v0.80 beta to play music, it has the iPhone's style and works very well, but has some mistakes handling the hearphones' HTC remote control, and the audio quality is not as good as Sense version because S2P uses WMP….
Can anyone help me please? I am desperate to fix this ... 'cause I use the phone for music player mainly and is impossible to do it with this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Can you play the media in the windows media player?
If that works then an application you have installed has caused the problem.
For me it was tomtom(the edited version that fixes bluetooth) it broke my HTC media player.
The only way to work out which one is to factory reset the phone so it works.
Then reinstall your apps 1 by 1 till it breaks again.
[Deleted!]
try refreshing using total commander.. path to the storage card, refresh a few times, soft reset.. generally works
This problem occurs when htc music tab is unable to update album art. Please check wheter there's a read-only file in the directory. Uncheck read-only box and run album art updater, you should of course have a connection to internet. I had the same problem both with my hd and hd2 but after clearing the read-only status of the files, I 'm able to play them as I love to do with my music tab....
this is how i solved it. convert everything to wma.

Yes, media can be played with the WMP. But the problem isn't caused by any installed application. I'm burned the phone with every new ROM listed above, and then inmediatally try the media tab and the problem continue.

Mmmm ... no ... no really, I have got installed SRS wow and Audio Booster and comparing sounds, the HTC Tab has better bass and clarity sound. I'm not using the original HTC hearphones, instead I'm using an AKG ones (don't remember the exact model) and the difference in sound is appreciable !

Yeah !
Now is working ... I'll testing for a few days, because in the past in one opportunity, I don't know how or why, the player works a few days with no problems with the MP3 files library and then stop working suddenly.
Cons: I have all my music library in my main HTPC in MP3 format ...
I will post again in a few days with results.
Thanks !
Well, I was testing for a few of days the HD2 tab player after convert all my library to .wma format, and everything was OK, the stopping music effect was solved.
Thanks to everyone.
same problem
what software did u use to convert all your library to wma?
,
i also have the same problem, and Im just so desperate to find an answer for it...
i think this solution works, but i have no idea how to convert my library to wma
the only that you need to do is to transfer the music to your hd2 only with windows media player via active sync,but first:erase completely the music map in you sd card,make a copy of the sd,format the sd with the phones program(you kan found under windows start>tools)put back all to the sd and make a new music map,ready!!you can start to transfer music!!I have a 16gb sandisk with more than 1600 tracks in mp3 and aac and no problems any more!I speak spanish to so, if you want you can make a private question if you need some help,saludos
I had a similar problem to this where it would stop playing a song after a few seconds then refuse to play anything else. I can't remember the exact program I used, but to fix it I ran an MP3 error checker through my music library, which fixed some corrupt files that were preventing the rest from playing. Has worked fine since I did it about a month ago.

You can use Switch Audio Converter (free on basic mode, but works fine)from http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html or dBpoweramp from http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ (15 days trial, but faster than the other).

Hi
I Have the same problem with Manila's Music Player...
but there is a thing and that is that I have changed all my music tags with a specific program (Mp3Tag I think...). the question is do I have to make all tags again if I convert all of my MP3's to WMA?
and I have another problem which is so annoying indeed!!!
if I hadn't have any phone calls since my last soft reset there is no problem but when I make a phone call or answer an incoming call after finishing the call when I lock the screen while listening to a track the music pauses after about 3 seconds!!! and actually it is independent from listening music with sence music tab or Windows Media Player !
both has same problem...
is there any solution???
First, try to convert all your library to WMA format, tags will not be lose. Try downloading Switch Sound File Converter from http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html, it is free.
Maybe, this process solve the last problem explained about shutdown music after calls.
Im sorry, converting to WMA just is not a solution, you shouldnt have to, the player can play MP3s, and so it should play them well. Mine has only recently started doing this (latest energy rom) it has never done it before
Anyone else having an issue getting the music player to see .m3u playlist files?
I don't use Kies since I'm on a Mac, so I copy everything over onto the SDcard. The media scan completes but my playlists don't show up in the player.
If I use a music player from the market (such as doubleTwist) then it sees and plays the M3U files fine.
I'm not particularly fussy what player I use, but recognising my playlists is a basic prerequisite.
Do you found a solution
I have the same problem....
Thanx
I have the same frustrating problem. I hope we can get it sorted out.
Same problem here on my t-mobile vibrant any luck with a fix. Im using missing sync for android on my mac and after sync i see all my music but no playlists show up. If you navigate to the music on the sd card you can see all the playlists.
No fix I'm aware of.
I'm using a combination of iSyncr and Lithium Player to sync with iTunes and play/scrobble music.
Only 10 but I copied 25.
I'm using windows playlist. I copy over(example) 25 playlist but only 10 actually show up. They are all the same format as well. It also doesn't seem to actually store them. By that I mean that it's not that it is only shows 10 there are only ten on the card? Even though I copied 25 across. it says copy is successful and everything.
Desire 2.1 Sense. Not rooted.
Another one with the same problem here. Samsung Galaxy S spanish movistar version, no m3u lists showing when copied from my macbook.
Is the problem solved with kies?
It wouldn't be the fastest way, but it will always be better than make de playlists on the pone.
I surrender... I want to use the default music player from my Galaxy S, so I finally choose this way, from lycan_codex, just search: "[Q] What Playlists formats are supported by Samsung Galaxy S music player?". I will write to Samsung an email and wait if they will fix (if it's need fixed, I mean that samsung maybe don't want to able read m3u files for any reason).
