Is there a way to fully disable the auto update of coverart in Sense musicplayer tab? I have a couple of musicfolders with all kinds of music and my own albumart in the folder. Then when sense player initializes the music found on my sdcard it automatically re-categorize the music folders in 100+ different albums with wrong coverart in coverflow Someone out ther with a working fix for this? Thnx!

im having trouble with album arts in tf3d. i have assigned a jpeg pic to each mp3 files i have through mp3tag, but in the phone it only displays the 1st mp3 image to all the rest of tracks.
i have searched around the forums, but i can only find fixes to having 1 picture for each album folder but all my mp3s are individuals and in the same folder (storage card/music)
no fix for this?
Use MP3Tag to properly apply the MP3 metadata to your tracks.
http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
Each image should then be 'embedded' for each track and will show
i did use that, i mentioned it in 1st post. in the media panel player it shows properly but in the tf3d music player it doesnt. (cant scroll animation)
audiomanager uses folders, you need to organise into artist/album subfolders
here's a walkthrough to doing it with mp3tag

ok thanks..
Real easy way to do is sync it through windows media, set your X1 to act as external storage and not activesync.
And of course MP3Tag for the albumart.
Just curious, is there a certain folder I need to place my music files in to play on my player? Everytime I go to music, it grabs all the files from notifications and my ringtones folders!! Is there a easier way to play my music?
Regarding Music...
Can anyone help me out??
Personally I don't use the stock music player for that very reason. Check out an app from the marketplace callled MixZing Lite (it's free.) It has the ability to monitor a specific folder for music and also comes with a pretty slick widget.
You can created a blank file called .nomedia (notice the dot at the front) in your ringtones folder which will stop the Media service (Gallery and Music) from searching in there for files. I have not tested if this will break ringtone searching, so give it a go and just delete your new .nomedia file if all your stuff disappears from ringtones.
You also may be interested to know if you call your album covers AlbumArt.jpg then they will appear in music player when a song from that album is playing, but Gallery will not index them and take a thousand years to load cos of all the covers called different names in different folders.
I installed a cab to automatically load the music player on startup, which fixed my main issue with the Sense music player... slow loading. However, I'm still having an issue updating album art. Everytime I do, most of the album art is incorrect, and completely irrelevant to the album it's associated with. I'm syncing my music with WMP, where all the album art is correctly updated... but for some reason the album art isn't syncing.
Is there any way to sync my music AND album art? I have a lot of albums, and really don't want to go through every one of them and rename the album art.
Thanks in advance for any help!
i don't use WMP for synch'ing, instead mediamonkey.
from what i know, the album art (the image files) per album must be put in the same folder.
so whatever music transfer software you use, it must be stored on HD2 per album.
hope it helps.
I just put the music & everything on my storage card manually & the sense player automatically finds it. For album art make sure to put a pic named folder.jpg in there with whatever album art you want.
im not sure this is the correct thread but im running into an annoyance.
im using an HD2 with the Energy Android rom.
playing mp3s with the Android and HTC music players has 2 problems..
1. it plays every file on the phone, even ringtones.
2. it messes up the album artwork and every song gets the same art. even tho most of the songs i have on my phone have embedded artwork.
any ideas how to fix this?
i would love to be able to flip to the music player widget and play my mp3s.
im havn almost the same problem i just want to hear only my mp3's not all my audio files any hav any ideas the ones i found on google didnt help i also tried to search it and got nothing please help us figure out how to play only music with the htc music player and not all audio files
Try inserting an empty file with filename '.nomedia' in the folders where your ringtones (or any other audio you don't want) are, they should be excluded from the music player.
Dunno about the artwork though

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I create a file with no name? .nomedia appears as just an extention to windows.
I use the cubed (3) music player as my default music file player. It works well although it is buggy in 1.5 on my Backflip.
This seems to be an issue of Sense music player period as you notice the Windows version does that too. I use Mixzing from the market that gives you the option of what folder to scan for music, as for the .nomedia file I would assume start with a blank text file and change the extension to .nomedia?
Use Gallery Enabler from Marketplace
In the Sense builds such as MattC's does anyone know how to replace or remove the HTC player with the Android one.
The Android one I used in Darkstone builds (I believe) supported landscape mode switching of albums with cover-art and also finger gestures to move tracks.... this was really useful in the car.
I second the Mixzing player, I'm using the free version and it works better than any winmo player I could find. All you problems go away.
Ok, this may well be my fault as made a lot of changes at once but wondered if I could get some advice on this.
I've changed to Revolution 2.0.5 with non-sense patch installed and normal music app. Also changed to media monkey to sync music to my phone which is so much easier than messing with double twist and winamp which screwed up all my compilation albums or made blank playlists.
So when I play a song in the player all artwork shows as expected artwork is saved in the tag and m4a files play fine.
When I use lock screen widget now though it just displays a big green music symbol when previously it displayed the album art.
Does anyone know if there is a setting or anything extra required for this or is there any limitation in the non-sense roms, player still seems to be the htc player?
