Hi im new here and this is my first post.
When i first tried to upload songs into my library from the Storage card, it worked fine, but now im not having the same luck.
After i begin to update my library it detects all the mp3 on the storage card but then when its adding them to the library it stops about half way and just lags for about a minute or 2. Then when it says done, the mp3 have not been uploaded at all. I've tried several times but with the same results.
It seems like the only way i can play the mp3's from the storage device in windows media player is my individually selecting the files and playing them one at time
Is there someway to fix this problem?
Is there another mp3 player that can be added to the TYTN?
Is there another way to play mp3's from your storage device without adding them to your library?
Thanks!

This is a standard WM5 problem.
Find MSmetadata folder on storage card - DELETE it (need file explorer set to show all files - hidden files)
Should find it works better now. Reconstruct library.
If still stuck see here:

or search using MSMETADATA

That worked perfectly and resolved my problem
Thanks alot.
Hi
I have searched as much as possible on this, but found no solutions so please excuse if its been answered, but..I am having major problems installing ANY kind of music files via ANY means on to my mem.card so that they show up and play on tf3d music app.
I can't believe it only works on device memory only, surely?
the moment any music added, on any folder structure I get following errors:
1. touch flow only sees 1 song at time
2. nothing plays, Audiomanager error
3. sometimes audiomanager error the moment I even insert mem.card!
So please, what is the best way to add music to card, what files should i delete to reset play lists etc?
Any advice MOST appreciated.
Seen this thread?

I can't help you other than this - I copied music onto my card and it just worked. I created a folder on the storage card called 'My Music' and copied mp3s (organised into folders) into it and TouchFlo added them to the library automatically.
Thank you, I missed that post..will try it now
God bless you ! Fixed...anymore time spent on this and my girlfriend would have left me !!
Well done. Another hurdle overcome
im trying to put movie files on my 16gb card and were wanting to know were i put the video files so they work and misic files, ive also downloaded the htchd2 converter, but wanted to know, is it easier to place them on the sd card or use the converter. and how to place the music file so you can see the cover with the artist. please can somebody help! thanks:
My music is just in a folder on my storage card named "Music" & the sense player automatically finds it. I have the album cover in each albums folder & it's named "folder.jpg" & that pulls up for the cover art (same for WMP on the PC).
I'm guessing for videos you could probably put it in a folder named "Videos". If you use WMP on your phone you may have to have it update the library to find all the new files.
I've tried syncr, I've tried double twist and I've tried dragging and dropping but in all cases, the phone is not recognizing the artist names of many songs. It labels them as unknown. This is driving me nuts.
When I take the SD card out and place it in my droid X, all the songs that went previously unrecognized are now recognized.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I am, i thought it was just my music collection. I've been doing everything to try and fix it with no luck

Are they m4a files? There is another thread where people have found that m4a files aren't working properly. They play just fine, but the artist and some other info isn't recognized properly for some reason.
Haven't seen a fix yet, but it sure is annoying!

Just move allo music folder or/and files to the main Music folder. it doesnt work if you have music files in you own SD card or another map. It has to be in Phone memory.

You have to move your multimedia files to phon memory and it will work fine. It doesent work if your multimediafile´s are in extern sd card.

Not sure if that is right. I've tried it on the phone's 16gb memory, and on my external microSD card - neither works. When I add them to Kies on my desktop they are also missing the some of the info in the fields shown in the 'library'. It's all very confusing - really hope it can get sorted out soon as it's the one thing that's annoying the hell out of me.

Didn't seem to make any difference. To be clear, I didn't have a 'Music' folder in the root of the internal phone memory, so I created one and put my music in sub-directories. Is that what you meant?
Do you use MP3 files? Then this could be an issue with the ID3 Tag. You can solve it in two ways:
1) only using ID3 V1 Tags
2) using ID3 V2.3 Tags with ISO-8859-1 Charakter Set. Android seems to have problems with UTF-8/16 and ID3 V2.4

It's my m4a files that I think I (and others) have the problem with.
Is there any program that you know of to change the tags of m4a files as a batch? Really don't want to have to do it individually!
I use usually a Prog called "MP3Tag". Unfortunately I do not know actually if a) it is available in English language (I'm German)
b) it also works with m4a files.
Usage is quiet simple: Just open your Music folder on your PC with the program, edit the settings to fit with what I've written above, apply the settings, select all files, copy and paste the tags, save the files - finished.
Cheers
Zap
Edit: I've checked it: The Prog is available in English and it supports m4a. Just look at the website: www.mp3tag.de
The test files I'm working with are files purchased from the iTunes music store. I certainly don't want to rewrite the ID tags for any files, or convert the files from one format to another. I think this would classify as a bug that Samsung should fix, in my opinion.
I have a workaround, namely browsing folders via Poweramp. It's certainly not ideal, but will get me by for the time being.
What is the proper method of inquiring with Samsung about this? Call Samsung via the Support number on their pages? Is their phone support any good?
Since I bought this UK model and shipped it to Canada, would I need to call Samsung UK? (Samsung Canada doesn't list the GT-I9100 as a supported model on their site)
I can understand this, maybe you crash more than repair it. Yes, a different Music app with its own - well, let's call it "engine" - could also solve the problem. This could be worth a try.
On the other hand there are also users who do not want to have that much apps and want to use the stuff which is coming with the little green bot originally - they definetely will suffer from that issue, because it's Android - dependent and not Manufacturer - dependent. So I think you will not reach anything by talking to Samsung.
Just have a look here. Lots of defects regarding The bot and MP3. Just search "yours" (the one that fits best) ;-). Hopefully the big G will fix them some time.

This drives me nuts too.
They display properly in double twist, but not in the stock player. I like double twist to sync wirelessly, but like stock as a player.
Found out the AAC music files are the ones that are not getting tagged properly. I'm thinking of converting them to MP3 which will be a long process.
Is their an easier way to tag the songs so that they get recognized?
did anyone further forward with this? I've got m4a files. I transcoded all of them to mp3 and still the artist showed as unknown.
Is it an ID tag version issue as the earlier poster said?

I updated my tags (option 2 above, maybe I'll have more time to try option 1 tomorrow) like you recommended but the default player and Songbird both do not recognise the Artist... :-(

Whats the point in having the external card?? Surly media files is exactly the sort of thing you would want to put on an external SD.
I have my music files on my external sdcard. I synced with iTunemywalkman, the key is to code them (Playlists tab) NOT in UTF-8 but Western European (ISO Latin-1).
I created a Samsung/music/ folder on my external sdcard and the built-in player as well as Songbird player are working fine.
Might be worth trying mediafix by gorgonloop
Its on the market, it's free and it worked for me (Itunes .mpa files not showing artist and using folder name as album name, etc.)
Try MediaFix from the market.It fix almost 90% of the m4a issues(unknown artiste).
Sorry but a really noob question ..........
Where do I put music and video's so that the default app's find them?
I thought the SD card was 'external_SD' so that's where I put the music folders. But then, when I try to navigate to that on the phone, there's nothing in there. And also, when I open the music app' it doesn't show anything that I've added!!
So can you tell me where you put audio and video files please.
Sorry, I really show know this but it's not something I've done on any of my phones before!
Thanks in advance for you help.
SDCard : Internal Storage ,the 16Gb build in
External SD : The micro SD (T-Flash) you insert into phone
And inside Windows Explorer ,it should be two drives ,say ,Drive E and Drive F ,one is internal ,one is external
Hope this help
I think memory your looking at is the built in memory. I put some video files in the folder marked media and it found them ok. If you want to find the external memory you need to go to settings,wireless and network then usb utilities to connect tovpc. Thenn i just put all my music on there. Again it found them ok.

Right, I've done the music files. I've dumped them in the 'Music' folder in the above screenshot and it appears to have found them. The only annoying thing is that it's sorted each song alphabetically and not by track number!
Now I just need to work out where to put videos.
I also still can't see, from my screenshot of the folder structure above, where my SD card is. If it is that 'external_SD' then why aren't files showing when I explore it on the phone?
And does the Note not play .mov files? I've transferred some across but when trying to open them it states, "No applications can perform this action".
