how can I play music by folder - HD2 General

a lot of my music is organised by folder so I just want to select a track on the folder and sequentially play through them.
Don't seem to be able to do that in sense mp3 player or wmp. Anyone got the solution to this

This works for me:
Open WMP
Tap menu/library
Tap menu/open file
Tap storage card
Then, just tap the folder that the music is in, select the first song and tap play. It should play every song in that folder in succession.

TouchFlo Music

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

adding folder of songs to playlist.

Hi,
Ive got a folder on my touch hd, witch contains top40 songs. I'd like to add those from 40 to 1 to a playlist (in manila music player) but cant quite figure out how to do this. When adding songs to a playlist it shows or songs that are in the same album, or all songs in the same list. It would take ages to locate all 40 songs in that large list. So how can i easily add a folder of songs to a playlist?
greetings.
edit: lol i have already found it out altough its a bit non logical.
Go into WMP, hit menu > library > menu > open file, go to the folder of songs, press and hold that folder (else it'll open it) and choose play. Now hit now playing > menu > save playlist.
If all goes well the playlist shows up in manila aswell. If anyone knows an easier way to achieve this, please tell
Goodness!!! Finally found a solution!!!! Thanks dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol, i had the same problem when i first started using the Touch HD and i gave up. Just installed a 3rd party music player which doesn't require kung-fu hustle to play certain songs you pick

htc music player issues.

i searched and the only thread i found on this topic went unanswered (link to that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458825).
my first issue is that i can't figure out how to clear the "now playing" list after clicking the Library soft key. i added four mp3s to see how the HTC music player worked and after having deleted them, i still see all four of the titles in the Now Playing list. how do you clear this?
my second issue is the way i organize my music. for some reason, i can't get ANY album art to show up. i embed/save the art to the mp3 itself with id tag editing software, but that doesn't work at all. i then tried making my own folder tree within my music folder on my sd card in this format: artist > album title > and mp3/album art inside this folder. when i do this, though, the music app doesn't even find the mp3! it sits on "searching" and never finds the file. wtf!
I've not as of yet discovered a way to clear it per se. But if you scroll over to albums and open a specific album, it will only show those tracks as "now playing"... so if you have only one song from a specific album, there will only be one song in your current "now playing" list.
so this is what i did:
1. deleted the My Music folder i created on my sd card.
2. soft reset the device.
3. created a new My Music folder on my sd card.
4. copied all my music over in the same format (artist > album > mp3+cover)
5. did as noodled24 said, scrolled to albums (or all songs) and clicked one track.
6. my now playing was then cleared AND all my songs + album art was there!
HTH for anyone that may be experiencing something similar...

Samsung Playlists

Does anyone know how to sync a playlist file that the stock Vibrant Music play can actually read? I've tried everything I can think of such as:
1. Doubletwist
2. Samsung Kies
3. Sailing
4. Tunes Agent
5. Media Monkey
6. Windows Media Player
The default music player is not reading any playlist file formats created by those options. I've spoken with Samsung and TMobile and they couldn't offer an advice. This is terrible frustrating to me as the stock player is rather good.
I believe that the stock music player is only reading playlist files from a partition that we can't access as none that I've created are visible.
Thanks for the help.

MediaMonkey (tree view)
Edit > New Playlist > drag songs to playlist
Right click playlist > Send to > select SD card drive
Open doubleTwist > Playlists > select playlist

I'm pretty sure that the OP means creating a playlist that will then show up *as a playlist* in the Music Player app on the phone when it is synced with the music. Or for that matter just copied to the drive.
If someone has an answer, I'd be very interested, as I have a ton of different playlists I've created out of my collection that I'd prefer not to have to recreate on the phone from scratch.
I'm planning on using Banshee (in Fedora) to sync my music to the phone, I don't know if it will get any playlists across or not, but it doesn't sound like it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I, too, am very interested in this. Creating playlists on my Vibrant is a pain. I want to be able to create them on my computer and then move/copy/something them into my Vibrant.
Playlists with iTunes
I not an apple fan but I do like iTunes as my music manager so this what I am currently doing. I have tried iSyncr and it works except it cost $2.99 and doesn't grab all the tags the way doubleTwist does. This method seems do do the same job as iSyncr except more manual work and time is required including not grabbing all the tag information so I guess I need to find a way to fix that someday :-( Nothing is ever easy.
Apps Needed:
iTunes Export http://www.ericdaugherty.com/dev/itunesexport/#Download
iTunes
Steps (Note you have to repeat the steps for each playlist):
Remove all media listed under the built-in playlist Recently Added in Samsung Music Player
Mount the phone to my computer
Run iTunes Export and select ( the ctrl or command key depending on OS to multiselect iTunes Playlists but with my method I do one at a time you will see why as you read on). I set the output to the mount that is the internal storage of my phone in a folder named MusicLib (name it to whatever you want). I also select Copy iTunes Structure under the Copy Files pull-down menu and all files under the File Types pull-down menu. Playlist is just m3u but I delete that file from the phone.
While it is running you may think the app crashed, but it hasn't just be patient. It will show a screen saying Playlist Exported when it is done.
Now eject the media from your computer and wait for the media scanner to finish
Open the Samsung Music Player and go the the Playlist Recently added, press menu -> "add to playlist" then "select all" -> "add"
Now you are at window that wants to create new playlist do it and finally select the playlist you just made and all the music you selected above will go into the playlist
This sucks I know but it is free and it works.
I discovered a way to get MediaMonkey to sync playlists with the Vibrant:
