Hi, my vibrant is mainly used for an mp3 player...In music player..I keep seeing EVERY mp3 i have on the phone..I have my music/podcast mp3s, plus my ring tones...is there a way to not have my ring tones (located btw in their OWN directory on the phone [under "[rings] ] keep showing up in my music player??..also I have a lot of podcasts loaded..(again as for everything in their own dedicated directory on the phone (under media/audio)...to be exact...podcasts are under T-Man... (these files have no ID3 tags, so they show up as UNKNOWN...fine...but why can't I change this directory's name and add a thumbnail pic? next I have mixshow mp3's by diff dj's...all in their respective folders.. as an example..1 dj's mp3's I added album art through winamp and saved the id3, copied to phone....nothing...still shows a stock music player img...what am I doing wrong? help me out please ...
PS. Tried Player Pro, which somehow added thumbs to some of my podcasts/mixshows..which had nothing to do with the content...deleted the app, thumbs remained...
Find the folder that's giving you the mp3 and add a dot a the begining, example .test that way the music player won't look in the there to get music

in each folder that is showing up in your music folder add a file .nomedia ...the music player will not scan that folder for music
as far as album art try a app called album art grabber...it's free in the market

The music player is collecting the ID-Tag data. It doesn't matter in what folders the music is, you need to completely fill out the ID-Tag of the tracks.
Same with the cover artwork -it must be connected to the MP3, if it's just inside a folder it will not work.
I use Pocket Tunes to manage my music. It generally works great with the HTC Music Player (except that the playlists don't transfer). However, for about 1 in 20 songs I don't get album art.
1. In some folders I see a "~hTC_01 Song Name. jpg" file for each song along with a "~hTC_Album Name.vin" file.
2. Some folders have only "~hTC_01 Song Name. jpg" files.
3. Some folders have only a "~hTC_Album Name.vin" file.
4. Some folders have only a "~hTC_Album Name.jpg" file.
All have working art in the HTC Player. I've had folders with the *.vin file in it that didn't show the art. I've copied the file and renamed it for each song in the folder, then played it...the art appears (usually, but not always).
Does anyone know what generates the album art in the Player?
Thanks in advance.

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.
ok so i rly like the htc music widget and app all around. my question is this
i moved my top rated music from itunes to my sd card. in itunes i make it a must to have all my music well organized from artist album and album art.
once i copied my music to the sd card from itunes some tracks have the the info and album art but the majority of the songs are under unknown artist and dont have the right names to the songs. ive checked in itune and they are well organized in there. all my music is aac as well
any advice?
Basically, iTunes sucks.
Works fine for me, try converting the tags, then delete them from the card and add them again.
Use TuneSync.

what convertion method have you used? ive tried a few and receive the same results
I'm right clicking and converting to 2.4. All my info is showing up right away.
I've found that sometimes if you use a sync program, it won't change the tags when you sync. You have to delete the file from the device and resync
Before, I also thought my mp3s were perfectly organized with iTunes. I was horribly mistaken. I used Media Monkey to check all tags, as it seems more thorough than iTunes and covers several versions of ID3 tagging.
Then, I realized that you cannot simply put a large number of mp3s in 1 folder, e.g. \sdcard\Music\, or else for some reason the music player cannot generate the thumbnails for all album art (found in \sdcard\albumthumbs\), and you will end up with blank album art for many of your songs. So if you already have your music organized by artist, album, etc., you're all set. But I liked being able to drag and drop my music from my iTunes playlist instead of searching my music directory for songs one by one. So I used the drag and drop method to copy all my mp3s to \sdcard\Music\ (could be any folder you want, really). Then I used Media Monkey to browse to \sdcard\Music\, then I selected all files and used the organize feature to create directories by artist, album, etc. Finally, all of my album art showed up correctly.
Hi all!
I have a question for everyone willing to share their knowledge about this.
Here's the deal. I have about 60 songs directly in Music folder and about a 100 more in folders named after albums. The problem is that about 30 of those 60 songs in Music folder show the same album art which is the album art of one of them. I would like these songs to show their or no album art if you know what I mean.
P.S. That 60 songs are various artist so I don't want to create a folder for each of these.
Thanks in advance!

Anything?
It may be a longshot but if you install the Cubed (just search for 3 in the market) music player and use that you can choose to always use the ID3 art embedded in the MP3 files themselves.
If it still shows up as the same with this option enabled then it might mean your files have actually all got the same artwork attached to them and you'll need to manually change them on your PC.
