Music Player - Help to sort out your albums - Acer Iconia A500

It can be an absolute pain when u put your nice 320bit albums/songs onto your iconia only to find when u view them in the gorgeous 3d honeycomb player u end up with lots of mess.
Ok lets try and get this sorted out:
First of best way is to sort them out is before you drop them onto your phone/tab.
Use windows explorer, go to your album, select all the tracks at once,
right click, select properties, click the details tab, click on and only adjust;
contributing artists and artists, make them the same
album - put album name
hit apply, hit ok, now you are ready to drop them onto the iconia and the should all be in the same place when u start up hcomb player.
Other problems - if u already have a mess u might want to start from scratch.
You also might have to clear data of hcomb music player and reboot.
If you are missing (.jpg) album covers simply google the album name with cover, hold it to get the option to save to hard drive, rename it cd-cover, then move it to album folder.
Now you have all your albums and covers on them in full on 320kbps looking good and sounding great on the iconia.
If only a few of your songs are running free all over the place iTag should sort them out.
Good luck!
Anyone with other helpful tips please post...
P.S. Don't play Tubular Bells on any old tin boxes

Music Player question

I've jsut started to use the music player on my HD2 and have to say there's a few things that I'm disappointed in.
Firstly as already mentioned in another post, I don't like that there is no search function, or at least the alphabet down the side as in the contacts, to search through the albums/tracks much quicker. Instead I have to scroll endlessly through all of my music. Is there a fix for this?
Secondly, it isn't very easy to change the artwork (From hints and tips), and/or track title/artists. I had an iphone previously and it was much easier. You just clicked on what you wanted to change in itunes, change it and it automatically synced with the phone. I have a lot of albums where the artwork isn't automatically downloaded, and a lot of tracks where there are multiple artists and I would like to change it to just one. Is there a way to do this? I don't mind manipulating my files on the PC first, but to be honest I can't figure out how to do this on windows media once the CD has been ripped. I know how to change the track title/artists etc before ripping the CD, but I don't want to dig out all my CD's and re-rip them again. Perhaps someone knows how to change all this using windows media once it's ripped?
Alternatively is there a music player out there for my HD2 (preferably free) that allows you to do what I want, ie change artwork, artists etc? Preferably running the program from my PC so I can manipulate it on there.
Cheers

im using winamp on the pc for the artworks, and pocketplayer on my leo, it got searchfunction too, and awsome eq, and other settings, try it
Hi,
I've had the HD2 since before Christmas and generally it's great and for connectivity etc, it beats my lady's iphone, but to the subject in hand...
When i got the phone i put a 16Gb card in and stuck all 8Gb of music i had on my reluctantly let go N95 - i know they were looking dated, but it was sturdy as a brick, had GPS, good memory, battery life...
I immediately then had problems with the HD2, it couldn't play for more than 20 or 30 seconds, it was constantly trying to update the music etc, this is fairly easy to fix though, there is a free program for tag checking/fixing on this forum elsewhere. Once you run it on your files on your HD2s card, you'll find some do have errors, get it to fix tham and the HD2 will now stop endlessly trying to scan your music and play it.
Use MP3tag - free and easy to find on web - to correctly name your tracks and artists, this makes life alot easier in finding what you are after.
If you want the HD2 to display artwork - this took some working out - you can make it do so using the following steps:
1 - get the cover artwork you want, open it in Photoshop or equivalent, resize it to 256x256pixels, then save it out (resolution 72dpi, and save out at 6 in Photoshop, it's more than enough for tiny display covers) to the music album folder it needs to live in naming it hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg
Once it's saved, go to the folder, right click on the file, click properites, uncheck 'archived' and check 'hidden'. Bingo, this will make sure the artwork you want will appear. It does work, I spent alot of time sorting out my music over Christmas, as music is what i do and this kind of thing bothers me.
You can use HTC's auto artwork function and it does work ok generally for well known stuff, but if you need to plug artwork gaps, use the above.
Glitches in playing... I've found that if you leave Wi-Fi and Data enabled then it does cause pauses generally in quite a few apps, not just the music player, though it is obviously bloody annoying having a 5 second break mid song. Simply switch off Wi-Fi & Data (i'm not 100% sure which is causing it, but it's when the handset is trying to sync out). You'll find then you don't get any interruptions in your music. And let's face it, going to Wireless Connections only takes 2 seconds to switch them on and off. Though granted, HTC should REALLY sort this out.
Main problems i have with the HTC built in music player is the following:
1 If you wizz the Touch Flow album covers too fast, it bugs out and flips to whichever end it is closest to. Annoying.
2 On contacts you get the A to Z slider to speed up finding who you are after, why in hell not on the music player for artists etc???
3 If you go to an artist, say Janis Joplin, play a track, if you then go 'back' to the artist list, are you at J still, NOPE, you are back at A. Annoying. Scroll, scroll, scroll.
4 Why no function for you to choose artwork from a specific folder, which would save all the above fuss, plus an MP3 tag editor/fixer, hardly rocket science in this day and age.
There are other points that will come back to mind once I hit submit I'm sure.
Not related to the music player, but does anyone know if there's a fix for the really annoying way the cursor jumps from where you are when writing a text and you click on 'add symbol'. It jumps to the start of the text, which if u are only briefly above ground on the tube, is really sodding annoying. The keyboard isn't quite as good as the iPhone as it is - a point i'm loathed only to admit to other HD2 users ;-)
Hope some of this helps.
Cheers
Thanks I will check these out. Is pocket player free?
Also try Nitrogen player .. it's free.

Thanks for taking the time to post this lengthy response. I did see the way you suggested to add artwork on the Hints and tips thread, but what a ball ache. I do't really want to be spending hours resizing pictures just so they can go on the phone, they really should be a way to do this much easier. It would be nice if they had a dedicated program like itunes to do all this kind of stuff. I'm hoping the programs mentioned above will solve my woes.
I can't believe with a phone so powerful that it pauses and has glitches in music playback, that is sooo poor, and inexcusable to me. Does that happen with all music players, or just the HTC sense one?
I've tried windows player that was preinstalled on the phone, but it won't locate any of my music. If I update the library it just fills it with all audio files from my phone (such as sat nav audio) but not my music, why is this and how do I get it to JUST update my music?
I have contacted HTC about the text issue and they tell me they are working on a fix.
Hi,
I agree, it's a ballache that we shouldn't need to do. It's more for those annoying odd one or two album covers here and there that don't get picked up or end up with the wrong covers when you request the handset to update artwork from the Gracenote database.
All these issues with the music player are pretty poor for a handset costing near £500. I should really forward my last post to HTC...
Cheers
Ok, so I've tried other media players and to be quite honest I don't like the interfaces, I like HTC's much better (except for the fact that you can't search). I have added artwork to my media on my PC now using monkeymedia, and jukebox, but when I transfer the music files to my HD2 there's no album artwork, why is this and how do I get it to transfer without going through the long winded process mentioned above?
I DJ and do a lot of my own CD's, and want to add artwork Can anyone help? Or is it just the HTC music player that won't pick up the artwork, and so I'm forced to use another player? If so is there a player out there that has a nice interface like HTC?
I've seen S2P, but which version should I download? Theres vga or wvga?

Transformers.exe as movie browser?

Hello all,
I was curious about the possibility of editing the windows/Transformers.exe to allow you to place other movies into the sd/transformers folder and update the exe allowing you to utilize it as a movie browser/selector. I placed some other movies into the folder and renamed it "movies" however I do not know how to edit the .exe to recognize them or even if this is possible.
I would be curious if this is possible as it would allow you to place shortcut on program grid in Sense for faster/easier browsing of movies.
Does anyone know of any way to place link to a folder into grid. If this were possible the issue would be mute.
Thanks for any input regarding this!
Transformers doesn't have a separate movie browser. It uses the HTC vid app. Its just the way the movies were formatted that make them look so good.

Looks like you didn't really read the OP, I think he's asking if there's a way to add movies to the list that you see after launching Transformers.exe
To OP:
I think it may be possible depending on much of the assembly is hackable

My bad... Reading is fundamental! I'm going to assume there has to be a regedit that points to the transformers movies.
I know this is a lame answer, but why not just put your movies in a folder and fire up file explorer?

Sense style file explorer would look like that, that's why.
Okay, okay. Resco 2010 can be themed to look (and act) a heck of a lot like sense, and it supports thumbnail previews and all sorts of rich media browsing experiences. And it's just a file browser, too.

Thanks for the input. Maybe I will give that a try. I suppose a better solution would be the ability to link to folders thru Sense interface rather than having to open a file explorer type prog.
For now I suppose a folder in the start menu will have to do. Thanks again!
I will try encoding a video file to the same specs as the Transformer movies and put it in the folder. Although I have noticed and mp4 file will use that video player to view the file.

How can we find out the specs for the pre-loaded Transformers movies? And what do you recommend we use to convert movies we may have on our PC's?
connect you phone to your comp as a disk drive. then go to the transformer folder and right click on either file and click properties
Interesting Question
I could be completely reading into this wrong, but let me throw my two cents in.
My buddy and I were discussing how we loved watching the Transformer's movie, especially because you can use the seek function without leaving full-screen mode. If you use windows media player, when you tap the screen in fullscreen mode it immediately reverts back to windowed format.
Someone else had already mentioned above how the transformers.exe uses the HTC video player. However, if you open a program in File Explorer it uses Windows Media player. Basically, I wanted to be able to use the HTC video player for all my videos.
Thankfully this is possible to do, it is just annoying. Here is how you can watch videos using the HTC player:
1) Start Menu > Albums
2) Tap on "Albums" at the bottom left-hand corner (softkey)
3) Under Storage Card or My Device, tap on My Videos (or the name of the folder where you have your videos)
4) Tap on video
By doing this, you can utilize the awesome HTC video player!
I hope this helps with what you were trying to do.
Yeah, I tried the same thing as going through the file explorer isnt one click access (unless you always leave it in the Movies folder). Here's one alternative, but the GUI needs a little work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520604. It would be cool if someone picked up this project and improved it just a little. But, it works at least though.
that program would be awesome if it's polished up.
Yea, I was kind of wanting to encode the movies to avi to save space. I didnt know how to get the shortcuts to link up with the other movies instead, so I havent done it yet.
how bout a shortcut

i too tried in vail to add my movies to the transformers folder in file explorer, is there a way to add a short cut to my movies folder in the quicklinks?
maybe you guys can help me out...
i removed transformers from my sd card and onto my computer in an effort to conserve space.. but now i realize that i'm not gonna use all the space.. so i decided to put the movies back on sd card.. the only issue is that now my transformers shortcut.. doesn't work.. it gets to the page where i have to click either transformers 1 or transformers 2.. then when i select one of them.. it states that the media cannot be found..
so yea.. i was wondering if anyone can assist me in making that shortcut work again... i'm assuming that i have to direct a file using a registry editor.. or something... i think something along those lines.. i can't imagine this being really all that hard.. so please someone help me out and kinda guide me through it.. any suggestions?>

There has to be and I just haven't found it yet. When I just copy past a shortcut, it never works when I go to the start menu and click on it. Although, if I'm in Windows folder and click on it, it opens the Movies folder.
thanx

Search the Market, there's a lot of free apps there that you can choose from.
i allready did sch there
didn't find anything useful thats why i'm asking here maybe for some recomndetion
I'm using MixZing for playing music ...
funny these threads. listed as one of the main selling points of this device was mediascape. you must have read that but bought it anyway! did you not try the phone 1st? this is a prime example of why we all should! not having a go so dont start flaming! expressing my opinion. there is no app within the app store that will deliver anything near what mediascape does right now so for this phone its the best you gonna get! in time when custom roms are being made then we may see the likes of what htc have to offer. we are also currently lacking in apps that do offer more but hopefully corecodec will develop an app for android! until then and until custom roms are available i would just stick with mediascape. no matter how much you hate it, the alternatives are even worse!
edit:
some coredec images for the cp2.0 for android.

playlists
Sorry for hijacking this thread but my question is to do with mediascape.
Anyone figure out how to create playlists in mediascape yet?
The only thing I have found that comes close is starring tracks as favourites, but that only generates one list.
Am I missing something or is it not possible? Cheers.

Yeah... I don't think that's possible. Which kind of sucks but something I can live with. I mostly just use Spotify anyway.
And I also want to know about any good picture gallery. I had one but it wasn't really good at all.
Ah, fair enough. At least it's not me going daft. I was searching Google and the results were implying that you could generate lists but they must have meant that it could be done via media go software.
As far as media players go i would consider that to be a basic feature that is required (especially if you have a large library).
As for the gallery I can't say I'm too impressed with that either. However I did like the one previewed on the mini. Hopefully that will be included in future updates, if there are to be any.
Just typing this on the phone itself using the HTC keyboard. The only thing missing are the directional arrow keys, tapping the screen in the correct place is hit and miss for me.
You can generate Playlists with the Astro Filemanager, which you should have installed anyway...
Yeah I do have that instaled. I'll try that out. Cheers mate.
PiQture is pretty good photo viewer.
I found se's other music player in the phone but cant shortcut to it to use it easily.
Im using the file manager by nalic (green and blue pie chart icon). Navigate to system/media/audio/ringtones (ogg) and play one, a different player called music opens to play it, now leave the file playing and pull down the notification tray and touch the play icon then press the left menu key then library button and you are in.
Now this player will be listed in the recently used app list (hold middle button) unless it gets moved off the list by opening more than 6 more apps without opening it again to bring it to the front of the list.
I like this one better than mediascape as its less cluttered and straightforward and you can create playlists which are drag and drop editable and show up in mediascape.
It would be nice to get to it easier though.
There is also a video player and picture viewer but they are very simple with few options.

One of my main reasons for wanting the X10 is mediascape. Since I've only seen videos, and you guys actually have the X10... I'm looking forward to hearing why Mediascape is a poor media player and gallery. It certainly looks more robust and feature filled than any of the current media players I've seen.

it is possible but via media go I think, I spent ages trying to work out how to get a playlist set up but I think you have to literally set up a play list on your pc, then transfer that playlist on to the phone (?) only reason I say this is because there is a playlist option in the library in media go. Unfortunately I'd already moved my music across before noticing this so didn't want to double it up or remove it and start again.
I found an app called mortplayer which is free and works a charm for music

Or get a file manager from the market and follow my instructions above, any playlists created will be automatically integrated into mediascape.
Its easy once you suss it. !
Hi,
Anyone know how to disable the mediascape from caching thumbnail for music file ? I think this would vastly improve the speed, as mediascape would only have to read the tagging info and not the image/albumart.
I tried to set the folder as read only, but it doesn't work, the phone still write to it
Hi all - I've sussed this out (alternate Music player and playlists)... download an app called "AnyCut" from the market... in here you can add all sorts of different things.. one of which is under the "activity" option.. called "Music" this is the stock android music app (mentioned by baggyb above).. this way you'll have a link to the music app on your home page which you can then use to create your playlists...
All these work arounds to create playlist are fine but the main PIA is when I want to add tracks to Current Play list while listening to music. Can't be done. I hope SE will soon release a upgrade to address some of these basic issues.
Also, when you try to add contact as Shortcut on Home Screen it brings up list of all contacts and there is no search or 'letter' list on side to select the names. You can to scroll all the way down to select names. I guess SE QA and design team tested the phone only with one track of music and one contact in address book.

Two questions on Music Player and HTC Album

I've been proud HD2 owner for about some time now and worked around it long enough to start asking questions ...
Anyway, I will start with only two involving Music Player and HTC Album (on home tabs).
1. Music Player: when scrolled via HomeTabs slider when on Music, player has read all of the audio files and I would like to get it to read only certain folders - how to do this? I know there may be only the way to exclude folders from being recognized as storing audio which is fine by me - just need to know how to set that up - so if anyone can assist in this I would appreciate much!!!
2. HTC Album - this one is not as urgent as it may be ROM bug: I keep taking pictures with my phone of course and HTC Album when accessed via Home Tabs Slider it shows 1/99, 5/99, etc - whichever pic I have on - it won't show more than 99 and I know Ihave over 180 pictures. How can I fix this so the Album reads correct number of pictures I have?
Thanks all for all the help!
bump.. any1?
not sure about the album bit mate, but as far as music goes i have a few games that have music and got into my player, so i used total commander to make the files i didnt want to appear hidden, hope this helps,
The Album Tab just cant show more than 99 Pics. In order to see more you need to go into album view. Theres no workaround for this, its simply a memory-saving-feature not to show all 1000 Pictures directly in the Tab.
sounds good...
Album is good to go - 99 pics don't bother me... Now music player - I still wonder how to do it - I do have Total Commander.

MyMP3 Player v0.65

I have been trying to find a music player for some time, but I couldnot find a suitable for me. So I made mine and I am posting so you can use it if you like. This is a mp3 player which has these feautures:
- search (using the search button)
- can navigate to folders and see the songs (mp3, wav for now)
- add them to the playlist by clicking the icon on the left
- add the entire folder and subfolders by clicking the folder icon
- play songs by clicking the rest of the song
- view the playlist (the third button on top)
- choose random play or one song after the previous (from the playlist) (random is the default)
- choose non-stop music (when the playlist is over, restarts the playlist)
- save playlists and load them anytime
- delete from plalist by long clicking the song from the playlist
- a bar to navigate to any time in the current song
- View the songs by filename as in your PC.
- no ads
You can change from playlist to browser view by clicking the third button on top.
The default folder is /sdcard/Music/ so I suggest move the songs there within their folder
You can go up one folder by clicking back on your device.
It is created for 320x240 resolution.
v0.5
- fixed major bug with playlist and play songs.
- now folders an files are to be seen alphabetical.
v0.6
- better interface
- now mymp3 comes with an icon

I have been trying to find a music player for some time, but I couldnot find a suitable for me. So I made mine and I am posting so you can use it if you like. This is a mp3 player which has these feautures:
- search (using the search button)
- can navigate to folders and see the songs (mp3, wav for now)
- add them to the playlist by clicking the icon on the left
- add the entire folder and subfolders by clicking the folder icon
- play songs by clicking the rest of the song
- view the playlist (the third button on top)
- choose random play or one song after the previous (from the playlist) (random is the default)
- choose non-stop music (when the playlist is over, restarts the playlist)
- save playlists and load them anytime
- delete from plalist by long clicking the song from the playlist
- a bar to navigate to any time in the current song
- View the songs by filename as in your PC.
- no ads
The default folder is /sdcard/Music/ so I suggest move the songs there within their folder
You can go up one folder by clicking back on your device.
It is created for 320x240 resolution.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I do
Waiting for bugs (it is a little buggy yet)

can you also add functionality that when you play random and the music player is closed, the next time you start the app the previously random played songs arent played again until all the songs in the playlist are played? Closing the app in that way does not make him start fresh. It is to prevent playing the same song much more often than other songs.

This plays the songs just once. I think you mean to remember the last playlist when you start the app? (and the songs that already been played?)
Yeah, but then you need to be able to randomize the list. Besides that, when a list is very very long, it is no fun to scroll to the right song.

Glad you like it.
If anyone is willing to design a nice icon for the app let me know.
Also any new ideas are welcome.
I just fixed the bug not playing songs with a capital letter in their path when restoring from last playlist.
fixed a major bug
way better interface. Althought it appears a bug when I press to clear the playluist and it moves to the next song
Screenshots please looks promising. Good work.

Can you like add a feature to it so that it can read lyrics embedded in the song's id3 tag? I don't find any that does that on the market.
