Hi Guys,
I have a fairly standard (a few basic tweaks here and tere) Touch HD and when I got it I removed the two demo tracks from it via the Music screen. I created a folder on my SD card called "Music" and loaded up a couple of music albums using direct transfer (ie not ActivSych). I then pointed the Music screen at the SD card, it did a search found the albums and listed them including the album cover artwork.
A few days later I decided to change the albums and deleted the two original albums I had previously loaded in favour of two more (by the same artist). The problem I have is that in the track list I can still see the tracks from the original 2 albums I loaded and where the cover artwork should be there is now a grey box with an exclaimation mark (!) in it. When i flick through the tracks on the "Playing Now" screen it passes over the no longer available tracks and skips to the next available track.
I'm assuming that the current track list is held somewhere in an xml file and that it hasn't update properly.
It could also be that I'm pointing to the SD card, where was the location of the original two demo tracks??
Any help appreciated..........
try taking the memory card out while you are in the tf3d music screen and then plug it back in. that should force it to update it's database. the two demotracks are stored in Device: My Documents : My Music
but once after a hard reset i saw them in Device: My Documents : MUSIC .. but anyway try taking the card out and see what happens
Thanks for a quick reply.
Since I posted I removed all music from the SD and now the "Music" screen just says "Searching". However if I go into the Library the original tracks are still listed and are still missing their album art. Obviously the dont play.
I have just removed the SD as suggested and done a soft reset using the button and.....They're still there exactly as described above....GGrrrrr.
Isn't it funny how the smallest thing can drive you NUTS....!!!!
i know i'd be annoyed if something i deleted stays there and stares right at my face lol i feel you man but i have no idea what to do other than taking the card out and plugging it back in while in the musicscreen. that did work for me once.. wait till someone more experienced than i am shows up cause you're not going to like my backup solution to this problem lol
did anyone find a fix for when you are in the song List and when you try to scroll the songs disappears?

Hard reset.....NNNooooo !!!!!
I'm tempted......but only when frustrated by the whole thing.
Somewhere out there a Touch HD Guru is waiting to enlighten me (hopefully)/
I had similar issue with my device - Only "Searching" was displayed on the "Music" screen.
I got over it by deleting the following file: My Device\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng. Then it recreated whole database from scratch.
MKo_1 you are a SUPERSTAR...!!!!!!
Deleted the file as suggested and all those nasty old files with there nasty old grey boxes have gone.
Days of frustration and pulling my hair out have all now been washed away in a haze of heady excitement.
All I can say is thank goodness for XDA Developers and especially MKo_1.

Thanks MKo_1 !
You solved my problem too !
You can fix the Artist lists etc not showing by flashing to a new custom rom - all of the new manila roms I have tried have solved this problem. I guess it just depends as to whether or not you want to flash your rom
I get the "searching...." problem in music player too. I tried to delete the file referenced but it won't let me. Just to confirm is it the directory named audioManager_Eng or the file of the same name with a .vol suffix? I tried both..... It managed to delete playlist for the directory but not the directory.
Hi,
I love my HD2 but I have one problem which is realy starting to annoy me. If I connect my HD2 to my laptop (or any other computer or mac), and then I unplug it again, HTC Album Manager should reindex the songs on my SD card and I should be able to play them.
However, 75 percent of the time, for some reason it keeps searching and searching and it never finds anything. It doesnt actualy say its found anything, just the litle circle in the top indicating that its still searching. Library at this time is empty. The only way to fix this is a soft reset. Windows Media Player has no problem finding and playing these files while htc album is struggling.
I've tried killing the audiomanager or albumsearcher processes by microsoft task manager, but for some reason the version on the hd doesnt allow you to kill processes, only tasks.
I've had this problem on my 1.48 NLD Official rom and now on my Dutty's v.5 Holy Grail rom.
Has anybody else experienced these problems and if so, have you been able to fix it?
Thanks in advance...

I've not had these problems with it, but have had issues that the tracks on an album don't get listed in track order, and I can't find a way to re-arrange the order, any ideas?
I've had a similar issue to you, but with windows player though. It won't find any of my music to add to the library, but will find all other sounds such as alarms, sat nav voices etc. How do I get it to find my music and not the other sounds?

Emm, google for mp3 tag, with this you can change id3 tags from your files and readjust the track order. The problem is probably not htc music player, but the files themselve.

No, not yet. I was hoping I didn't have to go through my entire music collection retagging everything but looks like I may have to. I wonder if it's anything to do with the way windows 7 tags things?
i have the same problem after connecting the hd2 via "drive" mode. but when i use activesync everything is fine except the transferspeed really sucks. so no problem with musicplayer after activesync except the transfer speed
Same problems here! My mp3´s are tagged absolute correct using mp3tag. No problems on any other device/software. Only on my HD2.
In addition to that, sometimes I have duplicate tracks listed in the music player.
There seems to be a bug in the 1.48 release...
Hope this will be fixed soon.

thanks for confirming.
Can you tell me what SD card you use?
contacted htc support about the issue, will post here when they respond. anyone else who can confirm this?
Ive got this "bug" aswell but found an easy way to solve it, just go in to ur media player on ur phone and then updater ur library and all songs will be readded. sure its kinda stupid if u have to do it several times but its still a solution for now.

When connected in drive mode the SD card is not accessible from the phone and this causes all sorts of problems, this is not the case when connected to active sync. Is this a winmo issue or HTC specific problem? (this my first winmo phone)

The fact the SD card is unavailable for the phone when you mount it as external storage to your pc is completely normal for any phone, and no problem whatsoever. But it shouldnt have problems remounting the card and reading its contents after unplugging again..
I never had these problems with my Diamond, allthough I must admit it had internal NAND as storage instead of SD card which probably makes a difference. Still isnt an excuse for it malfunctioning though.
When you unplug from your PC, do you do the right thing and unmount the drive first? If not, then there's a chance the filesystem can be corrupted as a process on the PC may have been using the drive when you unplugged it. This in turn could cause issues when the phone tries to access the card.
This goes of any removable storage or cards you plug into a PC. You MUST unmount before you remove.

Just received a reply from HTC, anyone care to explain to me what he means? (nice english by the way)
Dear Nils Xxxxxx,
Thank you for your question about the audiomanager.
Please save the media files as a fixed bandwidth instead of a variable band width.
If these steps have not helped, then please let me know. I will gladly be again of service.
Best regards,

Sounds like he wants you to re-encode all your mp3s to a fixed sample rate (say 128Kbps or 192Kbps) instead of using a variable sample rate.
However, all my mp3s are fixed rate 128Kbps and I have exactly the same problem as you, so you can go back to him and tell him his "advice" hasn't cured the problem. In fact, I don't see any way in which his "advice" could possibly cure it.
Same Here
I have this problem and its a real pain in the a*se what I do is just use media player for like a day and eventually it sorts itself out (sometimes 2 days....) Not really a fix but what im having to live with ...
I was told before that I HAD to sync via media player rather than just copying the music to the SD card because this would cause the issue and it worked at first but then synced about a GB of music and problem happened again...
I've replied to him that I'm not about to re encode all my mp3's.... its bull****, it should be able to handle the music files fine. My diamond had no problem with it.
Crafty, do a softreset and it should be fixed.
Hi all,
I've got a 16 gig sim card full of music.
The music tab takes too long to load.
When I accidentally touch or load the music its a very distracting pause.
Can someone please develop a way to keep the music from loading at first touch?
Perhaps show the music screen only (without loading the music).
With a touch button the has a label "Load" or "Continue".
Hey there,
First of all, have u uppdated ur music library? Secondly (it it's still there) u can eliminate it by going into landscape mode, select any album and select any song. Then switch back to normal mode, the next time there will be only one album to load, bam instantly!
That's how i solved my problem as i also got a 16GB filled with music.
Hope it helps, cheers

Hi
I find it frustrating too - if I sync the phone or use it as a USB drive (which I do several times a day) then the music doesn't play immediately when I start it - it has to scan again!
Annoying.
There are several threads open with this same problem and all are opened in the last 2 weeks. As for now, there is no solution found for this problem.
I propose we collect all requests (because that's what it is) in one thread and send a link to it to HTC Support.

1. Copy your entire storage card to a directory on your desktop pc. 2. Light up a cigaret and take a cup of coffee, maybe make a few calls 3. Format the storage card with your desktop pc (fat 32, default clustersize). 4. Copy your files back. 5. finish your cup of coffee, light another cigaret. Do some other stuff you usually postpone (now it's a good time) 6. Done
Tried d landscape trick now got d music sense working in a flash..... Thanks for d tip....
Well, i think alot of ppl know this problem. The music player in sense sometimes has a lag, every 20-30 seconds, a short pause, then music resumes... alot of solutions are suggested, like soft reset, format SD card, organizing your music into smaller folders, putting all your music in ONE folder (?), applying the official HTC hotfix, and more...
None of these solutions help me. This problem started a couple days ago after a hard reset. It only (as far as i can tell) occurs when the screen is locked..
If anyone has a solid fix for this, please, share it.
I have looked up and down these forums, with alotta different results, and most of the threads are a couple months old... and no real solutions.
So, if you know what the deal is, elighten me... this is driving me crazy.
Thanks
htc has released a fix 27'th of april - the issue you mention is handle via that fix.
Update for HTC HD2 Music Stability:

maybe u could also use another player instead of the sense player..
i like the pocketplayer more.. it has so much more settings, so much better quality thanks to the many settings u can do and i just love the library design when u browse through ur music
maybe u should try that too

I tried this fix... it doesnt help..
What i did just try, is to disable in CHT, the option to turn phone off when sleeping, and reverted to the standard lockscreen... thats seems to have helped for the moment, although, before the hard reset, these options where enabled. not thouroughly tested though, because i am at work and i only have time in my breaks!
i'll try these two separatley now, and see what happens...
I would like to just use the sense player, its simple and looks nice (with GTX theme for Sense), plus i dont want to have to go to a third party app evertime i wanna listen to music!
Im on that wagon too - only to use Sense Player.
I have been through quite a few tests to get rid of the frequently stop and go in the player.
Before the hotfix from htc.com I mentioned - I came to the conclusion that to prevent the stop issue you have to to let the device go to sleep from the menu where you can 'Turn off Device' (opos up after holding power button) - Dont click turn of as it wil result in glitches ... but let the device go to sleep by it self.
After the fix ... I can just press power off instantly without having the glitches.
Kindly
I've got the fix and it didn't fix the issue for me.
Here is how to fix it.

1. Transfer all your music from your phone to the PC(make folder "Music" and put it there.
2. Delete the folder containg your music files on your phone.
3. Start your Windows Media Player on your PC and sync your HD2.
4. Drag the "Music" folder to the sync folder of the WMPlayer on your PC(you can add as much files as you want in this folder before to sync it or after for the next sync)
5. Leave it to finish. Once it's done, disconnect your phone and it will fly like a rocket with both sense and wmobile player!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE ANY REG TRIKS FOR THIS! I BET IT WILL WORK FOR EVERY ONE OF YOU!
Good luck and share your opinion.
My HD2 Doesn't Know from PC...
My Leo has never met a PC (meaning I have no computer and have never active synched), would this patch be effective via the device and storage card alone? I've read through the forums and tried a number of tips but I think we all continue to suffer from less then stellar performance by Sense Player. -No?

im having the same problem but my music is in my Micro SD Card!!! will this still work???
Hi All,
I have a new TMOUS HD2 with the stock rom. I've flashed HSPL and I've added a few tweaks such as landscae mode. Nothing too much for now.
Problem I'm having is that every time I navigate to the music player it seems to hang and I end up getting the "send to M$" notice and phone's locked up. Then I have to restart the phone again.
I have the music stored on my storage card under Music/Artist/Album/Song and I have about 4 gigs worth.
Any ideas to what this could be? Appreciate the help.

You flashed HSPL, but not a new rom?
I would start by putting just one or two mp3's on your phone's onboard storage, then pulling the card out, soft-resetting, and then seeing if your music tab finds and is able to play those couple of mp3's without locking up.
If it works fine then, you're probably experiencing the same issue many HD2 owners have been dealing with when accessing a large volume of files on the SD card. There's a number of suspected causes, mainly relating to the fact that the music (and documents) tab(s) index the whole contents of the card to find and catalog those types of files for quick use in the tabs. Therefore, a large number of files on the card seem to bog down not just those tabs but often the whole phone.
Another cause is believed to be the fact the factory card shipped with the HD2 is only a class-2 card, the slowest of all the speed ratings. If you have access to a faster card (class-4, -6, etc), even if it's a smaller size card, try that and see if it improves things any. If not, then your only other option right now is to reduce the number of files on your card until it doesn't lock up when sense tries to index it all. It's rumored that there's an update coming shortly from HTC/Tmobile, and I'm hoping that it might address this issue, but I'm not holding my breath.
I personally believe that the code used to do that indexing just isn't able to scale to the volumes of files seen now in the larger SD cards.
EDIT: Also, if you're not using it, be sure to turn off the "recent documents" tab...I don't know that it will clear up the problems with the music tab, but it can possibly help avoid lagging overall.
I can see what you mean about the indexing. Does it index each time the phone is rebooted or does it store the indexing in cache that's reused?

I honestly wish I knew
I've been trying hard to come up with a solution to this issue, and I'm afraid that's one of the unknowns that I'm struggling with...how/when exactly the process is triggered, and whether or not there's any cacheing. I suspect that it indexes (in some form anyway) much more often than every reboot, as you'll see if you delete a music file, and see how quickly the list in the music tab reflects that change.

Sirphunkee..I remember a while back when I first started reading this HD2 forum. Since before I was in the Wing Section. I read somewhere about copying a file to the startup in the windows folder. I cant remember exactly what file it was but it had to do with the music so when you woke the phone up it automatically started queing up the music that way when you went to click on the music tab it was already cached and ready to play?! I have yet to come across that thread again so that I could try it out?!

Ok cool, thank you! I hadn't heard about that one, so I'll go look for it and see if it gives me any insight. Did you have TF3D (the older version of sense) on your Wing, with a music tab? Maybe this is behavior that HTC added to sense at some point, with the same exact intent in mind...
you can disable the docindexservice perhaps it will be of some help. I don't use NRG ROM but the cook did put this cab out and you can give it a try, if it doesnt work just simply uninstall it and your settings will be back to normal

Sweet! Thanks again Jimmy...I'm gonna dig into this when I get home this evening, and poke around in the registry area it changes (HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HTCService).
I'm curious if it just does the same thing as turning off the documents tab, or if turning off the service is a wider-reaching change. Since this is the personal handiwork of NRG, I'll ping him too, but I know he's busy.
there are a number of possibilities (though i agree its likely to be the indexing)
don't use sync to copy the music, use disk mode, or put the sd in the comp
excessively long path\filename.mp3
extended set ASCII characters in the mp3 tags,,,
i'd copy over a few dozen albums at a time, see if there's a noticeable point which problems start.

Hahaha thanks Sam...I JUST finished reading over the same thread LOL Very helpful, and it's given me some further insights into this.
toreone, the first think I noticed common to your problem and the one in the thread samsamuel posted is that your music has a rather deep file structure (4 layers deep). I haven't seen anybody mention that in the troubleshooting, so it might be worth seeing if the same volume of music, but no more than 2 folders deep, still gives the same issue.
Also, in that thread, sammybusse made and posted the cab below, which makes simple registry change related to chacheing: HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory\FATFS
EnableChache 1 (changed from 0 to 1). So, perhaps the problem stems from the fact that it wasn't chacheing, rather than doing it too aggressively..
I haven't had a chance yet to poke around with it, but I think it's certainly safe enough to try and see if it makes any difference for you (it helped some people in that thread).
Another solution tried there, that had some level of success, was making sure you don't have any of the mp3's set as "read only"

I have a new TMOUS HD2 with the stock rom. I've flashed HSPL and I've added a few tweaks such as landscae mode. Nothing too much for now.
Problem I'm having is that every time I navigate to the music player it seems to hang and I end up getting the "send to M$" notice and phone's locked up. Then I have to restart the phone again.
I have the music stored on my storage card under Music/Artist/Album/Song and I have about 4 gigs worth.
Any ideas to what this could be? Appreciate the help.

Try to sync your music with Windows Media Player. This worked for me.

Here it is:
Go to your Windows folder and find the file "AudioManager_Eng.exe" Create a shortcut (.lnk file) of this file and put it in your Windows\StartUp folder.

Nibbley, when I did this, for some reason the file would only be renamed as AudioManager_Eng.lnk.exe. And once you do it, you can't seem to delete the file. Just a heads up.
do you have a more detailed way for doing this?
