Hi. I'm new to this so apologies if this problem has already been answered. I've bought and installed a 16GB sd card in my HD2 and have transferred a fair bit of music to listen to. However media player is playing albums in an incorrect order (seemingly random, not alphabetical). When I transfer an album from the sd card to the 'my music' folder on the device, it plays in the right order! I've tried neptune which plays in the correct order but that won't respond to my bluetooth headset (when I press play, it automatically uses media player). Now when I copied and pasted an album onto my device which was also on the sd card, media player displayed the tracks twice in the correct order 1-15 consecutively (1-15, then 1-15 again). I deleted the device version and the sd card version went back to the seemingly random order. Can anyone solve this irritating problem?
Addition
Could I just add that when I say the problem is with windows media player I am reffering to the music player within HTC sense. Please help!
I have the same issue, very irritating , could anybody help please??
A poor solution
Right, until I can better this I'm gonna cut and paste the album I want to listen to from the sd card onto the device.
No
No, that doesn't work
Have the same problem with the HTC music application and Windows Media Player. Pocket Player and Pocket Tunes don't have this problem.
A solution that works!
Right, it's like this. Got to settings>personalize>home screen tabs and uncheck 'music'. Open 'Windows media player' either by playing a song off your music folder or adding a quick link to it. Then click 'library' and get it to scan for al your files. Now use windows media player as your player not HTC sense and it will all be fine. Thank goodness!
is there the same resolution for the HTC player?
Thanks mate. Now I can see it works fine on the Windows media player. but thats a pain to use with those annoying menus. I like the HTC player as its very much like the iphone player & its easy to use. Has anyone found the fix for the HTC player or is there another good working player thats similar to the iphone player.
Cheers

Hasn't anyone found a solution to this silly problem yet?
When you transfer music to the device, it apparently removes any existing track order, yet not every album is out of order when I play it on the HD2! It makes no sense at all.
Using WMP is no solution, I'd rather play the music without order or sit for several hours making playlists for every album.
EDIT: Googling the problem, I found a thread about a problem like this for the HTC Touch Pro, where a solution was proposed:
Found a solution for you...
you will need a registry editor for your HTC Touch Pro. I recommend the PHM registry editor (google it).
Locate the following key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored and modify the key Music Gizmo1 to the path you want the music file to be stored. I created a folder on the SD card named MUSIC and updated the path to \Storage Card\Music then rebooted the phone and all is well. Now I can turn off my phone, pop in the SD card and copy all my tunes over and bam.. I have all my songs at my finger tips. I hope this helps

hi,
if this does not work, i can share my application. It scans your music folder and generates playlists in the correct order.
it uses mp3 and wma tags for cd and track sequence. it works well for me but sometimes you need to clean up tags on desktop before copying music.
I have a 16 gb card as well and all my albums are ordered correctly using playlists instead.
I am sure using media monkey to synch gives you an option to push playlists as well and should give desured results.

Damn, it didn't work. Quite disappointing.
Now how about this app that you mentioned?
And I can't find such a function in Media Monkey, any ideas?
Regarding media monkey please have a look at here:

You will need to connect the device in usb disk mode and then you can synchronise playlists when uploading tracks.
I will upload the application later on today or earlier tomorrow morning. I would however recommend the option above first as the application I have is picky on the tags and it expects track numbers and disc numbers to be set correctly in metadata.

They are. I'm also picky.
But yeah, the Media Monkey solution does sound smoother, I will try it out.
Thanks.
Hi again,
I have attached the files to this post. I still think, if Media Monkey option works for you thats the way to go. But this little tool helped me with the track order issues I had.
If your files are not in \Storage Card\music folder, you will need to set the location using the botton next to the text box.
Then you need to point the location to save the playlists. For me "\storage card\playlists" worked with every version of manila I used (Polaris, Diamond, HD, HD2)
It only supports mp3 and wma so there isnt much point to add more extensions, however you can remove one to exclude files of that extension.
Once all set up, you need to chose file - > Create playlists and application will scan your files and save the playlists in desired location.
I am using it with 16GB card and on Hd2 its pretty fast.
Here are some limitations:
1 - Extra information is created in the palylist file but still, when you select the playlist in manila player, it does not show fields like artist.
2 - Although some tags are valid, they cause errors in the application. I have some very old track I converted from CD's records mid/late 90s and if I see the issue on the mobile, I just run an application like Musicbrainz Picard to reftesh the tags and it all working again.
3 - If you have multi cd albums and disc numbers are not tagged, the track order may not be correct.
I always use usb mode to copy tracks and for me this tool works good enough to create the playlists the way I want to listen.
Hope it helps someone.
Simple Fix that worked for me
I to had the same problem with CD coming up in the wrong order in the player in HTC sense. When I checked what CD's were in the wrong order I noticed that they were all ones I had purchased off itunes and that the track information wasn't being picked up by my windows desktop. So i converted all my itunes music to MP3s using real player converter and now all of my library is in the correct order.
Hello,
I have the same problem. However, the tags are properly showing in all of these software :
MusicBrainz Picard
Windows Media Player
Windows 7 properties
So the track numbers seem to be correctly assigned. But still, the album tracks don't appear in the correct order for several albums in the HTC audio software.
The playlist utility keeps crashing on me, too.
By the way the HTC support regarding this issue is *terrible*, they keep telling me that the player sorts the music by "last time you played it". Nope. It doesn't. If so, when I play a single track, it would either pop at first place in the album or last place, depending on what they meant in their ballistic explanation (1 sentence). It, obviously, doesn't, and a player acting like that would be the stupidest music player in the world.
Does anyone have a solution ?
Did the "MediaMonkey" solution work,Overlord Yuri ?
Thanks in advance for any anwsers,
Regards

I barely tried and didn't have any luck. Since then I've given up..
Oh, okay.
Thank you for your input, anyway.
This thing with the HTC support is starting to get on my nerves, especially how they still try to convince me that the problem will go away if I hard reset the phone (nope, done two times already due to FixOperaFlash ruining my config, and still the music player doesn't work)...
I have figured a work around to the track order problem.
Download mp3tag you can find it on download.com or just google it.
I opend up all my music and looked at the albums that were out of order.
They seemed fine. I just right click on the track and saved the tag. I though why not nothing else seems to work.
I resynced the album and it was in order!
I guess try it out and see if it works.
S**t man , it worked !
HUGE thanks to you !
By the way I just opened the whole library (which was already on the phone), selected all, and clicked on save so it refreshed all tags. And after deleting /Application Data/HTC/Audio Manager/AudioManager_eng.vol so it regenerates the library, it worked like a charm.
Hello, my name is Fernando.
First of all, I apologize for my english, but my natural speak is Spanish.
I have a problem with the HTC HD2 music player HD2 since I bougt it 2 weeks ago.
When try to playing a song from any album with the player, I see the spinning circle in the upper left corner.
Please, seek a video of that in YouTube called "HTC HD2 music player stop after a few seconds" (I can't post it 'cause I'm a new user ...)
I assume that is seeking changes and updating the music library. After a few seconds (30 approximately) the music stops and can’t access the library. Even in landscape view, the library is empty (see video on the end part).
I searched help into this site and various others forums on the Internet, and I found many people with the same problema, but no effective solution.
The files are stored in “Storage Card \ Music \ Artist \ Album” folder structure, and they are called “01 - TrackName_AlbumName_ArtistName.mp3” structure.
My phone has the following software characteristics:
(Please see pic attached)
I have made many unsuccessful trials to solve this mistake, I will try to list all of them:
• Updating or changing ROM versions to 6.5.3 , 6.5.5 and 6.5 (actually running 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE version from laurentius26, that is excelent by the way)
• Update Manila version
• Update Radio version
• Format memory card (8 GB) with the PC in Disk Storage mode.
• Format memory card (8 GB) since the included HTC HD2 Format SD Card app.
• Conversion of all audio files to MP3 format 192 Kb / s (no WMA files)
• Tag all files to ID3v2.4 UTF-8
• Put a file called folder.jpg in each audio folder with the correct front album cover disc (all albums are showing it correctly)
• Change the length of the audio MP3 filenames (shortest names for test)
• Change the folder of the files locations (put all in the root folder of the SD Card for test)
• Delete the file located into “Application Data \ HTC \ AudioManager_Eng” and called “AudioManager_Eng.vol” several times to be generated again when start the player for first time.
But nothing Works !!! …the software always stops after a few seconds of use.
At this moment I'm using another software called S2P v0.80 beta to play music, it has the iPhone's style and works very well, but has some mistakes handling the hearphones' HTC remote control, and the audio quality is not as good as Sense version because S2P uses WMP….
Can anyone help me please? I am desperate to fix this ... 'cause I use the phone for music player mainly and is impossible to do it with this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Can you play the media in the windows media player?
If that works then an application you have installed has caused the problem.
For me it was tomtom(the edited version that fixes bluetooth) it broke my HTC media player.
The only way to work out which one is to factory reset the phone so it works.
Then reinstall your apps 1 by 1 till it breaks again.
[Deleted!]
try refreshing using total commander.. path to the storage card, refresh a few times, soft reset.. generally works
This problem occurs when htc music tab is unable to update album art. Please check wheter there's a read-only file in the directory. Uncheck read-only box and run album art updater, you should of course have a connection to internet. I had the same problem both with my hd and hd2 but after clearing the read-only status of the files, I 'm able to play them as I love to do with my music tab....
this is how i solved it. convert everything to wma.

Yes, media can be played with the WMP. But the problem isn't caused by any installed application. I'm burned the phone with every new ROM listed above, and then inmediatally try the media tab and the problem continue.

Mmmm ... no ... no really, I have got installed SRS wow and Audio Booster and comparing sounds, the HTC Tab has better bass and clarity sound. I'm not using the original HTC hearphones, instead I'm using an AKG ones (don't remember the exact model) and the difference in sound is appreciable !

Now is working ... I'll testing for a few days, because in the past in one opportunity, I don't know how or why, the player works a few days with no problems with the MP3 files library and then stop working suddenly.
Cons: I have all my music library in my main HTPC in MP3 format ...
I will post again in a few days with results.
Thanks !
Well, I was testing for a few of days the HD2 tab player after convert all my library to .wma format, and everything was OK, the stopping music effect was solved.
Thanks to everyone.
same problem
what software did u use to convert all your library to wma?
,
i also have the same problem, and Im just so desperate to find an answer for it...
i think this solution works, but i have no idea how to convert my library to wma
the only that you need to do is to transfer the music to your hd2 only with windows media player via active sync,but first:erase completely the music map in you sd card,make a copy of the sd,format the sd with the phones program(you kan found under windows start>tools)put back all to the sd and make a new music map,ready!!you can start to transfer music!!I have a 16gb sandisk with more than 1600 tracks in mp3 and aac and no problems any more!I speak spanish to so, if you want you can make a private question if you need some help,saludos
I had a similar problem to this where it would stop playing a song after a few seconds then refuse to play anything else. I can't remember the exact program I used, but to fix it I ran an MP3 error checker through my music library, which fixed some corrupt files that were preventing the rest from playing. Has worked fine since I did it about a month ago.

You can use Switch Audio Converter (free on basic mode, but works fine)from http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html or dBpoweramp from http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ (15 days trial, but faster than the other).

Hi
I Have the same problem with Manila's Music Player...
but there is a thing and that is that I have changed all my music tags with a specific program (Mp3Tag I think...). the question is do I have to make all tags again if I convert all of my MP3's to WMA?
and I have another problem which is so annoying indeed!!!
if I hadn't have any phone calls since my last soft reset there is no problem but when I make a phone call or answer an incoming call after finishing the call when I lock the screen while listening to a track the music pauses after about 3 seconds!!! and actually it is independent from listening music with sence music tab or Windows Media Player !
both has same problem...
is there any solution???
First, try to convert all your library to WMA format, tags will not be lose. Try downloading Switch Sound File Converter from http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html, it is free.
Maybe, this process solve the last problem explained about shutdown music after calls.
Im sorry, converting to WMA just is not a solution, you shouldnt have to, the player can play MP3s, and so it should play them well. Mine has only recently started doing this (latest energy rom) it has never done it before
Hi all
Uploading songs to HTC was a messy affair initially.Following are the lessons i learned the hard way.Hope these may come handy for a new user of this amazing phone:
Mistake 1:First i created a folder in Storage Card-->Music-->English and uploaded around 500 songs into it.The result was that the music player took ages to load and was extremely sluggish.
Lesson learned:Never upload more than few(20-25) songs in a single folder.
Mistake 2:Next i used Windows Media Player to sync the music with HD2.The syncing was super fast with songs automatically organized into artist folders.Neat.But wait,when i opened my music player,the albums were blank.The songs where there all in the storage card but some how the music player was unable to read them.
After many unsuccessful tips gathered from net,i finally solved this by copying all files from HD2 back to my PC and pasting them back to Storage Card-->Music-->English (of course after deleting all files from there first)
Lesson learned:Never sync with Windows Media Player(this also leads to few other problems)
Mistake 3:Use ID3v2.4 UTF-8 in Mp3tag.When i did this,HD2 was unable to show the album/file cover art.
Lesson learned:Use ID3v2.4 UTF-16 to tag the files if you want the album art displayed.
Why not use Automatic album art update?:The Automatic album art update in HD2 works like a charm but it always go for the lowest quality image.
Finally:
This is how i upload music files to get the album art display correctly:
Tag files with Mp3tag using ID3v2.3 UTF-16 (Tools-->Tags-->Mpeg.Check ID3v2.3 UTF-16 in "Write".Leave other options unchanged).
Active Sync HD2.
Explore-->My Windows mobile based device-->Storage Card-->Music.
Create a artist named folder in Storage Card-->Music-->English (or any other name of your choice).
Just copy and paste the song/songs of your choice into this.
It works just fine for me
Hope u too will find this useful !!!
very useful post thanks for sharing
should be made a sticky because it is actually a very common problem
thanks again
right no offence here but surley my method is easier, if your tracks are tagged properly which most peoples are create folder on storage card called music, i have mine like this
storage card >band name>album
pop them on the card.
album art rename the picture in the album to folder.jpg
works simple
I must be lucky. Never had a problem using Windows media Player to sync music to my HD2. Works flawlessly syncing to my MicroSD card. No extra steps required. Album art transfers fine for me too but I have noticed that the Update Album Art feature does sometimes provide better quality features.

over 60gig's worth of music is album art tagged (mp3 tag) and levelled out (mp3 gain) on my pc and using sync is sweet for me. after uploading an album to my phone i always refresh the sync button though as i once bricked my phone after putting 20 albums on all at once...

How much memory r u usin?
Also,an album may contain few singles with a diff cover art.But once we upload,the album art over writes it.U kno anyway 2 avoid this without putting singles into individual folders?
I have to completely dissent
The only sane way is trashing the builtin eye-candy media player and disable its tab, install mortplayer and copy your music over, wherever and however you prefer, then simply add it and press play
It's not like you're watching the animation of albums and songs passing by when you listen to your MP3s, you're most likely keeping it in your pocket with the display off.
If that's only for the sake of impressing friends, you may just keep the music tab and use it with 10 songs to show off the graphics
well,using a 3rd party software is the easiest way out....but i want to use the default player with full features on.
Also I want to see the album art while selecting a song and it completes the experience....nothin 2 do with impressing friends.
In btwn,Mortplayer indeed is a good player..... I liked GSplayer too...

So if I'm reading your instructions right, I have to create a folder of each artist then transfer the music over? Even if I do that which takes a lot of time, when you transfer the music over using activesync it tries to reformat the songs and that could take forever. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, I'm brand new to WinMo.
I think to make the transfer of the files faster, use a card reader, load all the songs on the memory card, pop it back in, and off you go.

ok then, I stand corrected you alone can decide what you want your phone to be doing Me, I tried using manila player, but gave up after couple minutes, realizing that it just picked up the mp3s at its own leisure without me being able to control it in any way. Another manila tab off the hook
so i simply cannot put all my music into storage card>Music? i have to make new folders within music folder of each band name and album?? i guess my question is.. whats changed?? from touchflo 3d to sense??
because i uploaded my music just like that... on ym fuze.. and everything worked perfectly... and it was all under the music folder. no individual band names necessary... so did they change up something or what??

How is removing the SD card, load the songs then pop it back in different from connecting the phone to the computer and selecting the Disk Drive option instead of ActiveSync? Also, do you have to remove the back cover of the phone, not the batter cover, to remove the SD card? I had a hard time trying to pull that sucker out. Thanks.

I checked the the Media box is checked. It got stuck at 89% transferring so disconnect the phone, connect using Disk Drive, delete everything under the Music folder and I am going to retry again. I have also put a movie under the Video folder but I couldn't locate it anywhere. I tried Pictures & Video, I tried looking at the document folder, nada...sigh.

keep the media box unchecked.otherwise the folder will be formatted each time u active sync with pc.
if u find it hard to create artist named folders on your own,sync using media player;it will do the job for you.But then sense music player may not detect the songs.If that's the case,try opening a single song with file explorer or phone media player.then soft reset.the songs may appear.for me it dint work as i mentioned in the first post.so i copied all folders in "music" to pc and deleted the folders in "music" and re pasted the folders to "music" from pc.

OK. I followed nessqn's instruction and all the songs are there along with the album arts. But it freezes everytime I go to Music. I have to take out the battery or do a soft reset. Is it because it's trying to compile the library therefor it's slow?
I'm happy with the stock HTC Music player, but what I don't like is that there is no duplicate deletion function for playlists, rather if the song is on a playlist twice, my only option is to DELETE THE SONG FROM MY SDCARD!
I also am unable to edit the tags (like if on my computer I've edited the tags so a song is like "Aira Mitsuki - Fantasy.mp3", it might show up on my Android as "Aira Mitsuki - Shintakemodo.mp3" (and it'd be in Japanese characters, and no that translation is not correct, just typing random transliteration haha).
Anyone know of an addon, or must I use a different player?
~ I'm using HTC Desire with Android 2.2 and everything stock (unlocked but not rooted, living in China haha).
I would suggest doubleTwist, but if dupes are an issue then you can usually locate them using a file manager, like Astro or something
Honestly, the bigger concern is tag editing.. the duplicate files is inconsequential.

you are talking about editing the ID3 tag or the file name? Not sure if it makes a difference though. I am also using the Stock HTC Player in connection with iTunes Playlists (will be synct with HTC Sync). No issues like that yet, I am always adjusting the ID3 tag in iTunes itself (for instance for Thai songs).
editing
what I'm referring to is editing the filename and the id3 tags/properties. As well, is there a way to select songs and create a playlist from your computer, and then have the phone recognize it? going through manually and adding 1 song (or a group of songs from 1 artist) at a time to 1 playlist on my phone is ANNOYING (I have 1300 songs on my SD card)

Ok I misunderstood the issue, but maybe that's something that could be quite useful! And maybe even integration with gracenote or musicbrainz to retrieve data for the track(s)? This is waaaay out of my league I'm afraid but anyone who can do this, I'd happily accept commission for the idea
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
- no title bar means more space for the list
v0.65
- fixed bug sometimes adding folders(maybe not even noted it)
- feels like pressing buttons now
- minor other bug-fixes
Hope you enjoy this as much as I do
Waiting for your opinion

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.
