Problem with music files

Hi, I have a rooted mytouch running SuperD 1.8 (fried donut) and love it, I have had basically no problems doing anything I wanted. However I recently tried to add music using doubletwist. It synched perfectly and after I tried to open the music app, the songs did not show up. Using AndExplorer I saw that the .mp3 files are all there, with normal looking names except they all have 00- designations on the front of every music file. However when I click on them from AndExplorer they will play in some music player (I am unsure if it is the mytouch music app or some AndExplorer equivalent) perfectly, but the name and album cover art, none of the tags, are displayed. Its not like they show up as unnamed, they simply do not show up in the music app at all. I tried using mixing and other third party music apps from the market, and they did not show the music files either. Again, there seems to be no problem with getting the files onto my flash drive (class 6 8 gigs) and I think it might be a tagging issue. If it is, how would I correct that? I tried to manually change the names of every file i imported but it did nothing.
If there is anymore information needed please let me know, and thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully answer my question. Thank you, and sorry if a similar question has been posted elsewhere. If so a link would be much appreciated.

download "mediamonkey" (for your computer) and try to tag your music witch it

All my music player apps freeze after the song I select finishes.

I'm having a problem playing my music. Any application I use to play my music will only play the first song I select, but as soon as that song finishes, the entire application freezes and the only way I can close it is by using the task manager. Even if I try skipping the song mid-way, the application freezes. Anyone else experience/d this? Any help would be much appreciated.
I'm running on Froyo 2.2.1 DK28, ROM: AhmgskMod TrulyEpic V2.06.12.10

You deleted those 3 or so DRM APKs didn't you? My phone was always having this problem right after I flashed a new rom and I think I literally JUST found out what was causing it because my phone was doing it again after updating to DK28. Usually I go thru and delete all those APKs that I don't need and then set up my apps and I would havethe same exact problem as you describe weather I'm using the stock music app or mixzing or anything else. But now what I did was restore those 3 DRM APKs that I always delete first, rebooted, then sure enough I was able to skip forward without anything freezing. Then I went thru and deleted those three APKs again and then rebooted and I was still able to skip forward and back no problem.
So what I'm sayin I that I think you first need to play some music in the player or anything BEFORE you go and delete all those DRM related APKs otherwise you will run into this problem.

Ya. I did delete this apks. What do you reccomend I do? Can I just restore them now and then reboot my phone or do I have to completely re flash, play some music and then delete those apks?

Just try what I did and hopefuly it will fix it, I'm interested to see I it does fix it for you. Hopefully you made backups of all those DRM APKs that you had deleted, just restore them, reboot, play some music and see if it still freezes when you try to skip ahead, if it works then delete those APKs again, reboot and see if it still plays without freezing. That worked for me.
I might add that I deleted one APK at a time and rebooted after each delete because I was curious to see which one was causing the freezing but after each delete my music player still played fine. So I'm sure you can delete them all at once and still be fine

What I did was restore them (I had back ups), reboot the phone, then played a few songs (the music players were all working again, so the problem had to do with the drm apks), deleted the apks and then rebooted the phone again. Everything works fine now! Thanks a lot for the help

Glad to hear that fixed it for you as well. So then I must be right that you need to play some music or media files first before deleting those DRM APKs otherwise you will run into this issue. Maybe this is also the reason that my home encoded .mp4's that worked on my epic stock when I first got it would not play in the video player after messing around with deleting that stuff first, I will have to see when I get home from work.

New Music/Clock/Camera/Gallery Apps

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/05/download-new-android-music-play-3-0-336/
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/0...y-desk-clock-and-cube-wallpaper-android-apps/
Anyone know of they work on the Nexus One? I'm downloading them now.
Camera installed and works but missing the shutter button graphics. Meh
Music App works great.
Desk Clock fails to install. Could be a permission thing.
Gallery 3D FCs when trying to launch.
Cube Livewallpaper works but FC's when opening the settings

I just tried the new Music app this morning. It works. They have official signatures too so it works even on unrooted phones.
The music app seems nice, though it also seems a bit sluggish to me. It will take a few days to know if some of the Music apps annoying bugs have been fixed yet.
I haven't tried the other apps yet, maybe later today. I'm curious what has been changed.

camera nd music work fine (though you will replace the camera app entirely and the prog is a bit crippled regarding options)
gallery-app does not work for me (force closes)

Music works fine, but still has not implemented Gapless Playback and Album Artist classification.

It won't install for me. It just says "Application not installed".
????

is there a way to install these on an unrooted phone without overwriting the original system apps?

Just install as normal. You can't overwrite a system app.

Any remarkable improvement in the new camera app?

I can't find the “Recent” section with album previews and a scrolling wheel feel? Can you guys tell me how to get to it?
Thanks.

Are any of y'all running unrooted stock gingerbread 2.3.3 on your phones? I am and I can only get the gallery to install and it just force closes
This is unrelated but I tried the leaked skype w/ video app from droid-life.com and it wouldn't install either.

Im on 2.3.3 unrooted. music.apk is working and installed gallery.apk n it fc every time

Im running stock gingerbread and the music player downloaded and is working just fine. Didn't try the other apps because reading the comments from other users they all had the same result as you.

Thanks for the feedback.
I tried re-installing the gingerbread update and installing the app again but I just got the same results. I had rooted my phone using SuperOneClick when it had Froyo because of internal space issues but when I updated it to Gingerbread there was really no need. It is my understanding the phone becomes unrooted after you install the update right?

I am unrooted 2.3.3, and as I said earlier, the music player won't install. I just get "Application not installed".
Is that what other people are getting?

I got the same error. My problem was that I had the updated music player (Gold Speaker Music App). I went ahead and reflashed the gapps, Giving me the old music app (Blue Speaker Music App), now the the music app installs just fine.
Note this will not replace the Blue Speaker Music App.
After the Leaked Music App was installed, I do not have the Music Sync option in the my Google sync settings that came with the Gold Speaker Music App. I have tried to update to the Gold Speaker Music App after I got the leaked music app working however the Gold Speaker Music App replaced both music apps.
Thought I would add: I was doing this in hopes that I would get the Jumper and the Sync option with the new Leaked Music App, just in case Syncing would start working. Maybe this is the key to get the Google Music Sync to work again and I hope someone smarter than me can figure this out.

Ah, a great thing about the new music player (just installed with no problem on my unrooted N1) is that it works with Voice Search's "Listen To..." option, where the old Froyo one doesn't. Very sweet. "Listen to Paranoid" brought the song right up, and it starts playing, no need to hit any keys. Will be great in the car.
Also seemed to grab an existing playlist I made on my phone using PowerAmp, which also makes me very very happy.

(Unable to) Play music with stock app

With my previous S2, I never really played music, for no reason actually. But now I got myself a fancy S4, I'd like to give that a try.
I installed a (usenet) nzb app and downloaded a nice music album containing MP3s. They were stored in a folder on the internal storage called Downloads, and I moved the folder containing the music files to a folder called Music (also on the internal storage).
I now opened the stock Music app to play the newly downloaded album. Alas, that album was not found.
I tried the stock app Play Music, but the same thing. My highly anticipated nice MP3s were not in there.
So my question is: what the hell do I do wrong?
Need I to reboot the phone so it might rescan the files on the internal storage?
Need I to put my music folder somewhere else?
My wish is just to play some nice music with the stock Music app.
Thanks, for I am a noob.

Hi,
Silly question.
After you downloaded from usenet,did you unzip the album?
I make a folder called MUSIC , and put it on my sd card.
All music apps find it without issue.

I searched the play store and found an app called Rescan Media. This did the trick! After the background scan, my music files were found in both the stock Music and stock Google Play Music apps.
Thank you very much!

Stock Apps?

Hello all,
I just bought an Essential yesterday (640 on swappa with the 360 camera). I noticed that there are some "stock" apps missing like music player, file manager and gallery, maybe I´ll found more later. I was wondering what you guys are using to replace this missing apps. For music I use Poweramp (bough it a few years ago, great music player), for file manager I downloaded File Explorer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mauriciotogneri.fileexplorer) and Gallery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atomicadd.fotos)

I'm using simple file manager and simple gallery
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.filemanager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.gallery
For music I'm using shuttle music player

I really like the HTC music player. You can find it if you search xda but here's a temporary link.

They are intentionally left out, this phone is designed to offer software that only has the essential apps to function as a phone (except the Google apps google makes developers put on their devices). Which is the main reason I bought it. I'm lazy and stream music, I just go though storage if I need to access a file I downloaded.

Oh yeah I totally get this. My question was made because I hace not used any Gallery app or file manager other than the ones preinstalled on the stock or custom rom. So I just wanted to see more options

I use Google Play Music and Google Photos as my gallery. I also use FX File Explorer

Thanks for taking my post! Lol I use these exact apps as well. Asus offers a good file manager as well on the play store

Pulsar is what I use for music and QuickPic as gallery.
