Problem with music files

Hi, I have a rooted mytouch running SuperD 1.8 (fried donut) and love it, I have had basically no problems doing anything I wanted. However I recently tried to add music using doubletwist. It synched perfectly and after I tried to open the music app, the songs did not show up. Using AndExplorer I saw that the .mp3 files are all there, with normal looking names except they all have 00- designations on the front of every music file. However when I click on them from AndExplorer they will play in some music player (I am unsure if it is the mytouch music app or some AndExplorer equivalent) perfectly, but the name and album cover art, none of the tags, are displayed. Its not like they show up as unnamed, they simply do not show up in the music app at all. I tried using mixing and other third party music apps from the market, and they did not show the music files either. Again, there seems to be no problem with getting the files onto my flash drive (class 6 8 gigs) and I think it might be a tagging issue. If it is, how would I correct that? I tried to manually change the names of every file i imported but it did nothing.
If there is anymore information needed please let me know, and thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully answer my question. Thank you, and sorry if a similar question has been posted elsewhere. If so a link would be much appreciated.

download "mediamonkey" (for your computer) and try to tag your music witch it

Only show my own music?

I have searched everywhere, but I know this has to have been listed before.
I have about 4gb of music I'm syncing from my PC, but when I pull up music on phone (no playlist) I see all the music on my device AND the music I synced.
I want to ONLY see the music I add. For photos, there was a reg key I added to set which folders were ignored. Is there a way to do that for music as well?

Ur Own Music
zim 2323 - this drove me cRaZy for a couple of weeks until I downloaded OMarket and got "Nitrogen".
I can click and drag my music from my PC instead of having to sync (if you have already d/l double twist - get rid of it - more pain than it's worth) and the system music files are omitted in Nitrogen.

I did the same thing and it ONLY shows the music I added?! I am having trouble understanding what you are trying to do?! I dont have music on the phone and it only pools what I have on my storage card. When i first loaded music it said it was searching for music and it found everthing I added.

Hey Zim Yes, I think there's a regedit method for this, but the way I do it is to just figure out which folders I need to exclude and then navigate to them in Total Commander, long-press, and choose "properties"...you can then choose to hide the folder just like in regular windows. For me, it turned out that just hiding the "program files" folder on the SD card was enough, but I'm sure you can handle it if there's more you need to hide.

Unfortunately I can't hide program files on the sd card because I have to see the folder for software I use/install.
I also do not want to use 3rd party media players. I want to load music and play natively in sense.
When I goto music TAB it finds every MP3 on ROM nad SD memory. I only want to see music located in \storage card\my documents\music.

No folder that I've hidden this way seems to be invisibile to me or the sys...they still show up in file explorer, and are still directly accessible by apps etc, they just don't get indexed.

[Q] Music issue

i have the htc hd2 tmob version, runnin █ ELEGANCIA ROM Series™ █ ◄●|17 Aug.|V2 Final|6.5.5|6.5|●► █ [CHT]●[GTX]●[MaxSense], E-GTX ROM, with the dal131 (spell check) android 2.2 froyo. now when i boot into android, whether it be using haret or the dual boot, not all of my music files are recognized in the music player. now when i use the linda file explorer it shows my music in the MP3 folder and they are all in a compatible format (unless the nexus uses a diff format than the g1 and cliq use)
any ideas on why only 100 out of the 700+ music files are showing in the music player?
Also i have looked under, recently installed playlist, all songs, all artists, etc etc, and it doesnt show all the songs but it does when i boot in windows mobile
should i move the files out of the android folder and place them in the root [of the SD card]?

I'm no dev, nor am i even very knowledgeable with the programming side of the android universe.
I think it is probably because you are running android off the sd card right now. I think all your music will show up fine when a full nand version of android is released. Although, what do I know, I'm no dev.
For the heck of it go get "NSW Player" from the market and try it. Report back and let me know if that player works better.
Good luck.

hmmmz never thought of that, yea could be becuz im runnin it off the SD card, ill check if it does happen with that player or any other installed player
i just also thought i'd delete the mp3 player and let the system create its own (if it even will)

if you uninstall the stock mp3 player i don't think the system will reinstall one.

nah i meant uninstall the mp3 folder but with using the nswplayer and mixzing player they still read the same. ill fiddle around and see if it could be a file extension issue or something

I've got the same problem, I'm wondering if music files need to be in the 100MEDIA file, anyone tried this?

Bingo, I removed all music from the Music file then added it again to the Media file, all music now appears.

Android and HTC music players

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

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.
