Twice I've had the experience of the HTC Music Player taking over all the memory of the unit. A soft reset didn't help. The first time it happened I did a hard reset and reinstalled everything. When it happened yesterday, I was determined to find a solution without doing a hard reset. I did. Unfortunately, it meant deleting all of my music (about 1000 songs) and playlists. I've now added all my music back on to the memory card and created some of my playlists.
When the player "takes over" the unit's memory I see a small revolving circle just to the right of the album cover update button. Can someone explain what that is indicating? This revolving circle ran for more than 90 minutes before I finally gave up on it ever stopping. I'm assuming some file becomes corrupted and then puts the software into a loop. Does anyone know what file this might be? Can it be deleted? If so, what will be lost?
Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I've always believed it meant it was reading the media on your sdhc... I'd say there's an issue with your memory card...
Could be a corrupt music file ... try taking your SD card out and booting ..
If it does not do the same thing with the SD card out , either there is a file that is bad on the sd card, or could be the sd card is bad ...
if you have music in your phone memory move it to the sd card see if that makes a diff ....
Also , make sure that when it is "Hanging" it is not trying to update album art from the internet, 1000 songs updating could take a while ....
Mine does that but only for a few seconds and it comes up with the message buffering so it must be it is not reading the memory card quick enough......I have just purchased a Sandisk 16GB card and it still does it so I am not sure what to now. It just seems to get slower the more files you store on the thing

Accidentally responded to the wrong thread, but second time lucky!!
I've seen issues reported like this when the music is just copied over to the storage card. One of the files causes the music player to take ages to load or indeed crash.
The common solution is to use WM player to sync the music i think...

I have a very weird problem that is bugging me no end! I tried putting some new media files on my xda today various wmv music and video files. Thing is they play ok then all of a sudden the xda freezes and I have to reset it. Then subsequently every file that I've loaded on today will freeze the xda. All others I've loaded on play fine. The only thing I've done since I last loaded any media files on is upgrade the Rom to the version 1.06. I've spent most of the day loading these new files on then having to remove them again I've tried loading them one by one they play fine for a while then all of a sudden the xda freezes then I have to delete them all again. It's really bugging me as to why it is doing this. Any ideas will be appreciated
Hmm just tried to open a picture I saved on my memory card that I transferred over today and that freezes my xda too!
You may have a corrupted SD card...that sounds a bit like a problem I used to have with one of my old ones.
I suggest you remove all your data on the card to a folder on your PC desktop, then format the card again on FAT32. If you don't have a card reader, I would suggest using StorageTools (http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html) or a similar program.
See if that resolves the issue. If not, it may just be the old problem where trying to read too much data from the card causes the phone to i/o error and effectively drops the card.

hey everyone, i just got my blackstone yesterday and after uploading songs both through sync and manually into the storage card, my songs always freezes once i have an amount of about 50 or more. is this the stock firmware problem? is there a way to fix this?
I had that problem too, songs I dragged to the storage card would just stop after a few seconds of playing in AudioManager, or not play at all.
For me it worked better after I started to sync all songs through active sync and media player. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I also just synced about 10 songs at a time and didn't have the audio manager tab open. Because I was scared it would happen again, I didn't put more then 500mb of songs on the storage card yet.
The storage card included with the phone is class2. I wonder, will a class 6 storage card solve these kind of problems better?
Also I wonder, would it help to make a back-up of the AudioManager_Eng.vol after syncing all the songs?
I used to get this on the bog standard crappy Orange ROM that came with the device. It would be fine until I loaded in Santogold by Santogold. Nothing would load after that and if you tried to play anything, it'd freeze up and I'd get an audio manager error or something. In the end, I entered the world of ROM flashing. Has made the phone more usable for sure.
I have the same problem. However, the problem doesn't occur if I bypass the touchflo music interface and use the Windows Media Player that came with it.
music skipping
there are lot of thread relating to this issue, please search the threads

I've recently bought a brand new HTC HD2.
It was working just fine untill I transferred around 700+ music files(6Gigs worth of space) on the memory stick.
Ever since it has became really glitchy.
It freezes and sometimes just restarts itself.
6gb worth of music is nothing compared to what i have on my iPod.
Is this a known issue?
Is HTC HD2 not designed to load so much music on?
try removing music from the card and see if the problem stops, and always call your carrier and HTC to complain, f#3$s should be working hard on all these fixes
Well yeah, i removed the music... it works just fine.
This is so not... what i expected from HTC HD2.
Such an awesome phone, but ya what's the point of having
16 gigs of memory when your phone acts as its on down syndrome... when you have only about 6 gigs of music on it?
I have about 5GB of music no slowdowns whatsoever.... try reformating your microsd card, HR your phone, then load the music, then put it into the hd2... see how it goes..

if you have the t-mobile version then nothin is wrong with the phone...the memory card has a low class...a higher class memory card will work fine
there was a workaround mentioned a while ago that loads the music when the phone starts not when you open the music tab. I can't find it anymore but maybe that helps with your issue (btw I'm looking for that workaround too, can't find it anymore).
i beleive there is a fix something to do with sdcard power management basically your phone is scanning the sdcard and when u have lot sof files it can really mess with the phone but search the forums there should be a reg fix
HR your phone
@doctorcete: What does "HR your phone" mean?
Thanks
HR=Hard Reset

hey try these reg fixes in this post
should we apply all of those in that thread for it to stop searching?
The ones that have SDCARD in it but the others are good as well for battery management!
I had my TMO HD2 for about 2 months now, and I upgraded the ROM right after I bought it to the latest official stock firmware. It has been working perfectly fine til yesterday. It froze while pressing the numbers to dial, but I could still go use the Sense UI and run other programs. Only the dialpad froze.
After some troubleshooting, I noticed the problem would disappear upon removing the SD card and a soft reset. I also noticed that if I delete the "Application Data/HTC" folder on the SD card and reinsert it the freezes does NOT occur. But after 1 day, those files regenerated and the freezing is occuring again. The files totalled over 45MB. I deleted them again, and the freezing as of now stopped.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks.
the sd cards that came with the phone are crap.
Best bet is to copy over important info and format, scan and fix errors on the sd card, then put your stuff back on it.
I have bought a new memory card (class 6), and the freezing problem still occurs. Anyone have a solution? Thanks.
Those files are what Sense uses to index the music, etc on your SD card, and they reappear each time sense does a new reindex.
The problem you're seeing has sometimes ended up being related to bad album art or other metadata on one or more MP3's you have on the card, so you might want to first test by removing your music collection and seeing if that has any effect.
However, also note that having a music collection that is very large can also bog down the phone when sense tries to index it, that's a known issue on this phone...
I have rockplayer running on my htc desire. when it works it seems to be an excellent media player but i've been having one major issue, in that it regularly stops working!
media files (xvid avi) are stored on my 16gb sd card. rockplayer will play a file, or sometimes two or three, and then stop working. the next time i try to play a file the screen simply goes black and i have to force close the program. this behaviour continues until i reformat the sd card and copy the videos back on, at which point it will work again for a short while and then stop again.
this is very frustrating. no amount of rebooting, trying different files, force closing etc etc seems to work. once the problem occurs, the only way i have found to get it working again is to reformat the sd card.
i am relatively tech savvy and i'm happy to tweak things and try things but i am new to android so my question is: has anyone else encountered these problems with rockplayer? (i haven't found anything from searching.) and also, is there anything i can do to log the problem and see what is happening? i can't even work out if it is an os problem, an app problem, a phone problem or an sd card problem!
any advice would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance.
