If i try to sort by artists or search in music it crashes and says not enough space in music database...I have 4gb of free space on card and more than that on device, any help?
I have this also, plenty of space available, users with cards of various capacities have reported the same.
Nobody has found a cause/fix yet as far as I'm aware, I use Tunewiki when I want to listen by Artist.

Hi,
Tried to search for this but couldn't find it anywhere. Basically, as I use the apps on my JAMin day to day, I find that the free Program memory is continually dropping (and the 'in use' level is rising). I use the device mainly for playing MP3 (via WMP10), reviewing some Word documents (size of any new ones loaded is taken into account before complaining about losing space!), syncing with my Outlook calendar, phone calls, SMS and playing some games. I have not connected to the Internet to date. Even after simply playing music for 45-60 minutes I can see that the free program memory has reduced from what it was before I started playing the music!
Turning the device off then on clears this back (I usually have around 24Mb free). I installed Memmaid thinking this would identify the temporary files and clear them, however it only seems to pickup a few kB (though I only have the trial version loaded at present - is the trial version a full version, or could there be functionality missing?).
Any advice as to where this space is going, the file names or locations, etc. would be much appreciated. I'd like to find either an app that clears this space up properly, or to find where the files are so that I can clear them out myself as needed, without having to turn the device off.
At present, the only apps I have loaded onto the device are:
SPB PocketPlus
SPB ToPlay
Superdoku
Memmaid
I think Windows Media Players eats memory too much, just usless. I compared it with another Music Player such as GS player which is one of the best freely available music player. The WM10 ate abt 15 MB of memory for just playing an MP3 while on GS player it ate just 2.5 MB.
Maybe you can use attached program to find out which folder is creeping up with info...
The above program will only show you where your storage memory is. What the OP wanted to know is where his program memory is going.
I think its more or less a "feature" of Windows Mobile that as you open and close apps and work more and more on it, it will continually eat up ram. This is a gradual process and while I start with 24mb ram in the morning, I have around 17-18mb free by night time.
If you have a program installed which has a memory leak, this figure might be lower.
I have my device set to backup each night so it soft resets at night after the backup. This makes my phone fresh for the day with full program memory free.
A soft reset every now and then when you find your program memory low is a good idea. Other than that, there's not much you can do.
There are some programs which claim to free up some RAM, like Memmaid's Free up RAM program or SKTools's Clean Up Memory. These help to a very short extent...I find it better just to soft reset. Memmaid's program hardly works, while SKTools' program usually manages to free up around 2mb or something, although it takes a long time.
I was going to write what PhoenixAG wrote. clap for him.
Storage memory is no problem but Program memory is a problem. And soft reseting is better then adding those programs to your mobile.
Try changing your mp3 player from WM10. it just leaks memory
I recall reading somewhere that it ws a good idea to do a soft reset on smart phones/PDAs every week or so anyway, so I guess I'll just keep doing that.
Now, to open a can of worms, what is a good MP3 player to replace WMP10 with? Probably no great free/shareware ones out there I suppose......
Thank you.
Regarding mp3 players, I haven't used my Prophet as an mp3 player because I have an iPod.
But I remember on my old Axim X30, I used to use Pocket Player...although that program was quite resource intensive, if I remember correctly. I have heard good things about Pocket Music too.
Other than that, I have no clue
Easy - just use Mortplayer - free and very useful, and you can put a skin that looks like an Ipod
how can i remove WMP10 ?
is there a good replacement for moves files ?
TCPMP is the best for both audio and video files, its freeware and u can download a lot of plugings like FFMPEG, VORBIS and AC3
hope this helps
Oh yeah, I forgot about TCPMP. I don't have a dedicated music player installed so I let TCPMP handle any audio files I have. And it handles Video excellently of course.
Overall, its an amazing software and its free. What more do you want?
I use TCPMP for videos as it is the best at what it does, i.e. play videos.
However I find Mortplayer better for mp3's, more features, playlist, multiple equaliser settings, and the skins and especially car skins make it much more user-friendly.
And yeah, it's free.
I have Mortplayer installed too and as u said skins are nice, buttons are big (i use steel skin) but if are short of memory u may want to use only one player thats why i offered TCPMP.
Anyway both are good players
hi. everytime i play an mp3/wav that's stored on my storage card, windows media player gives me an error message 10 seconds into the song. it says "not enough storage is available to complete this operation." I have a 2 GB storage card that is only 9% full, my program memory has 20MB free and my phone storage is 22MB.. when i copy the song to the main memory, windows media player plays the song without a hitch. any suggestions?
thanks,
I am recieving the same error on my Windows Mobile phone (VW 6800, DCD 3.04, WM 6.1)
I also have a 2 GB storage card, I have MP3's at various bitrates and get the same error. I have tried a soft-reset, have 27 MB of free ram, and I still get this error.
When I use coreplayer, I can play the music without issue.
Anyone have any ideas?

Sup guys and/or girls,
I think I have an idea of whats happening here...and a solution to it...When you get this message
"not enough storage is available to complete this operation."

This usually means that your system (Wing)is trying to allocate more memory than is available on your device.
Now yes you may have a 2gig mem card and your Program memory may have 20MB free but if you have too many running programs and you try to load an Mp3/Wav file, your system is trying to actually load more memory than you actually have, thus giving you an error! Try to stop some of the running programs on your phone and est out the Mp3, if it works then we found the issue, if not then let me know so I can try and come up with any other possible solutions.
I'm having the same problem.
i tried closing all programs, and using Oxios to free up more RAM. didn't work. i have an 8GB SD Card.
what does "est out the Mp3" mean?
Have you guys tried using another media player, like TCPMP? It works better with MP3s for me.
Please answer, if you can
I get this with some files, too. It's not a memory problem--19 MB free program memory and 60 MB free program memory plus gigabytes of flash, only the programs involved running. I'm using Windows Media Player 10 on Windows Mobile 6 Pro. I've got a dictionary that links to audio pronunciation files via "file:\\" style internal URLs. Tap the link, an IE window pops up, then Windows Media Player, and then the file starts playing in WMP. The handoff doesn't work with TCPMP, Core Player, or any other media player I've tried except WMP (they can't interpret the path to the file properly, no matter how I adjust the registry). So I have to use WMP. Each file is about 8 kb or smaller, and there are thousands of them. 98% work perfectly, but 2% cause this error message to pop up a few seconds into the clip. Files that work always work, and files that bring up the error always bring up the error. So the problem IS in the mp3 files themselves. The busted files work on other media players (if accessed directly--as stated, though, links from the dictionary work only in WMP). File verification programs (e.g., checkfile, the verification function in foobar) find nothing wrong, but when I back up files with Retrospect Express HD, SOME of the broken files (but not all of them) show up in the .dat log of the backup as "doesn't compare." Only the files with the problem show up that way.
I hope that's enough info. My implementation may be different but it seems like the same problem, so if someone can help me it should help the OP as well. Please let me know if you need more info.
Try this:
With WMP closed, in File Explorer, go to:
\Storage Card\MSMETADATA\
Delete the file: XMEMediaLibrary.mlb
Re-sync with WMP on the desktop to rebuild the XMEMediaLibrary.mlb file. That fixed it for me.

Crazy
I have a 4GB card and about 500 MP3s & WMA on it and have never had that problem. I think the closing other programs would help. Some times I get that when I am playing music and try to launch my camera. That annoys me the most. Especially when I there is a perfect picture opportunity and I have to restart my phone. Sorry for going off the subject but that urks me.
Hi All,
Just wanting some advice/experience on the MAXIMUM or "proper" size of music folders that best suits our HTC HD?
I have a Topix 3.5.10 Rom, and a 16 GB HC card...I loaded about 8 GB of music on my card, and the HTC Sense music player was not really coping with the number of files...I used to have about 1 GB on it and that worked great.
Does anyone know what "limit" there is, or do people put more/less on depending on the ROM etc?
Thanks for your thoughts
J
There's no "limit" as such but as the device reads all music files no matter which directory they are in on your card when you are using the manilla/sense music tab, it takes longer depending on how many audio files you have. Not exactly the best design by HTC but oh well. So it's best if you have a lot of music to remove that tab and use a dedicated music player software instead or even the windows media player. I also keep my music files around the 1gb mark as this seems to make it work ok, and it's plenty of music for me to play for a few days.
I uploaded 457 songs to Google Music. I did not want to stream all the time so I checked off that everysong be downloaded physically to the device. It all went swell but I'd like to move the songs to my SD card and I can't find any folder where the music would be stored at all. The App size grew, so I know the songs are in there. Especially since I can play them without wifi or Mobile Data enabled. But I have NO idea where to look as media, music, etc folders are all empty.
Am I missing something? It is a stock rom S4 rooted with some stuff frozen but I don't believe anything frozen is related since Google Play operates perfectly short of the fact that I can not locate the physical files.

Thanks. Since I have the S4, I assume there is something SLIGHTLY different. I tried everything I could find and while all processes finished correctly, the end result wasn't he same. The music would not store anywhere different.
I also got Google music + v 1.1 and when I type the alternative save location, all the music that JUST worked, loses all artwork and say "storage full" when attempting to play on a COMPLETELY empty SD card. I only have 4 free GB and about 10GB of music and this is driving me crazy.
I'll just have to physically add music to the device and I assume GMusic will just play from it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Internal memory only. Hence why a 16gb S4 is too small a memory size.
Sorta going off topic a tad, but here's how to store Google Music tracks on your SD card: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYFw9bEAzM8
I'm not sure if it'll work on the S4, as I don't have one to try out just yet, but hopefully it does!

My advice Google Music + S4 is a really mess we don't have enough storage space to install more than 3 large games let along our music collection when Google insist on internal storage only.
Your best and quickest option without rooting is to download your music via Google Music webapp then place the files on your SD card. Not ideal i know but a workaround till Google fixes the music app.
So, I'm having a rather annoying issue here. I have a very large iTunes library and I bought the 128GB version so I could fit all 35gb of music on my phone without running out of space. The problem is that it shows there is 35gb of audio files in storage but when I open my music player app (currently using shuttle) and select play all songs, it only shows there as being 2,492 songs in the list (thats just a little more than half of the over 4K songs in my music library). So basically I'm missing out on almost half of my music when I go to shuffle and I can't figure out why. There is nothing I can find on the music player forums or on the phone forums for this. Does anyone know why?? Halp

Did you rescan your media library? - This needs to be done for the phone to detect any changes since plugging in via usb
Are all your songs the same format? - This is important if some are different formats the phone may not necessarily pick them up

Interestingly enough, it shows all the songs in Poweramp which I think is weird... They both support the same file types.. I'm wondering if it's some sort of thing that all players have that limits the amount of songs shown in the queue
