Hi
I have all my songs on my storage card. I can play them fine directly from the storage card, going through the file explorer.
However they dont work when in windows media and using the playlists, even though I can see them all. I get the error message "Cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the player does not support the format you are trying to play"
Any ideas??
Thanks

I've given up on Windows Media and now use TCPMP for playing my audio files. One of the main reasons I dislike Windows Media is because it's such a pain to create playlists. It seems like they went out of their way to make it difficult. TCPMP let's you create playlists on the device very easily. My audio files are a mix of mp3s and .wma files and it plays them all just fine.
TCPMP also plays lots of other media types, but that's all I'm using it for at this point.
And it's free! (Though you can give a donation if you find it useful )
You can also try WinamPAQ v1.0 Beta[/url]. Also free, if you used Winamp on the PC before, this is a fine copy. Works great also.

Everytime I try to open up music through the windows media player I get a message- Windows Media
! an unexpected error occurred.
I reset Windows and that did not work then I upgraded to Mibil 6 and that did not work. The only way I can listen to music, I open Windows media then I have to go to the menu button and Open File... thenpick the folder then play. This allows me only to play one folder at a time I can not play random music.
I appreciate any help Bob K
media player is almost certainly the worst media player on ppc for music. use mortplayer or htc audio manger, there's many more but i think these 2 are by far the best. they have many, many more features, especially mortplayer, and use less RAM usually.
thy're both easily available and free, and mortpayer is skinnable (do a google search)
As the name suggests, I'm having some issues with audio playback on my new Iconia. I transferred all my music from my HTC Evo, to my PC, then to the Iconia using Acer's downloadable drivers. If I open the folder via a market downloaded file explorer...I have no issues. It is when I try to play the files in absolutely anything else that I get errors. Just FYI, the files are a mix of .mp3 and .wma files. Any thoughts?

Edit: I'm using File Explorer HD, and only the .mp3 files are playing within the explorer...the .wma files prompt for an app and fail
you can use windows media player to sync music
As far as I know, the WMA format isn't supported in Honeycomb natively.
I had the same problem but its was with google music. I tried power amp from the market and all my music plays fine now. And all my files are wma.

i ended up doing something similar with MortPlayer--still wish it would've worked with Google Music...I was realling digging the UI of that one. Oh well, at least my music plays now. If anyone ends up with a thought or a workaround for the native Iconia app, keep us posted here. I'd love to see a device where all of the stock software worked as it was intended!

Has anyone tried to sync music to our Acer's using Windows Media Player? If that can be used to send all the music to the device AND be able to use the default app...I'd be in good shape.

Yes. I did mention WMP above.
But I only did sync MP3 files, not WMA files. So I don't know about WMA part. MP3 is recognized and played flawlessly using stock music player.
Another note, if your music info (ID3 Tags) is not in English, make sure you have proper character encoding before syncing. Otherwise, they will be displayed as garbage. I think all ID3 Tags should be converted to UTF8, not sure, just used Foobar2000 to fix all my Japanese-title music.
After exchanging my first Iconia to BB for some other issues, I did as you mentioned with using the tablet as an external mp3 player in WMP and everything worked flawlessly! Thanks I also found a great .apk to be able to mount my NTFS HDDs to the tab without issue. So I'm in great shape now!

I tried an experiment with the music -- after syncing the music to my tablet using WMP, I noticed that it placed all of the files into the music folder within the root sdcard (internal memory) and google music pp worked great. I moved all the files from that folder to a folder created on the external_SD, and the app fails like before. Apparently the Music app that comes with our Iconias cannot see anything outside of its native internal memory

Hi All,
Anyone else having issues with MP3 playback using the defaul music player (and also using the Cubed player? About half of my mp3's on the device stop playing after about 1/2 a second. I initally moved my music library via simply drag and drop into the device storage from my Win7 PC. I then deleted the entire library and tried syncing via WMP. Made no difference. Files play back fine using PowerAmp. I'm really digging the new android Music player though, and would love to get it working properly. Any ideas on what's causing this?
Thanks,
Tony
I recently noticed a weird playback problem with my fire. If I download mp3 files from the web and then put them in my music folder I cant play them from the stock music player it says "playback problem" however if I open the same mp3 file using a file explorer the kindle plays it with no problem - its not the end of the world but a bit inconvenient when trying to listen to multiple tracks
Is this just me or something that happens with all Kindles?
