I have two songs that I want to change the artist name to reflect a change in letter casing. At first, I had these two songs downloaded from the gtunes music downloader app, but after discovering that the files were 128kbps, I had deleted them, although I did change the file name a day or two before deleting it. I imported these songs later on, but with a higher bit rate. The album art, song title, and album title were tagged on each song, but the artist name did not change (All the changes just involved capitalizing the artist and song tile). The file name, however, is the same as it was when I deleted it. Since noticing this problem, I have used multiple tag editing apps from the Play Store, but the HTC Sense music player does not reflect the change, nor does other local music playback apps like doubleTwist.

Is one of the apps you've tried iTag? It almost always works for me.

I used iTag, DroID3Tagger, and AudioTagger (correct me on the name if I'm wrong). In all those apps, it appears capitalized. Even when I view the two files in Windows Explorer, it's how I want it to be. Still, it doesn't match up on the music player.
Try clearing the cache and data (unless you have playlists) of the music player. It's a long shot, but perhaps the changes you've made haven't come into effect yet?
I tried those options, but there's no luck. Still the same typing on both artists...my best hypothesis on this music player right now is that it
must have some kind of cache deep in the storage that won't let me change it

I don't know how the majority of you sync music to your X1s, but I've been using Windows Media Player (Desktop version) to sync all of my previous HTC phones, and figured that it would be the best way to sync my new X1 too. The issue is, as I'm sure most of you have found, that Windows Medial Player syncs playlists to the phone in .asx format, which happens to be unreadable for the media panel.
This is pretty unacceptable... (Please let me know if the newer media panel fixes this issue). So I've come up with two workarounds for you guys to choose from. The first is involves a program called "Playlist Editor". The second involves using the pay app, "CorePlayer".
Playlist Editor is a simple playlist manager for use on our devices, it allows you to save your non-compatible asx playlists in a multitude of compatible formats. Download it here
Just navigate to your playlist (even though there isn't any text that shows up, use the left softkey to go up a directory) and then goto the "Save As" menu from the program.

CorePlayer as most of you know is a robust media player, with the added feature of being able to re-save a playlist in an alternative format. Navigating it is a bit more complicated however, but it doesn't balk at any of my playlists like Playlist Editor has for a few. Here are the steps.
Step 1: Goto File>>Open>> Navigate to your playlist
Step 2: Goto Database view, and navigate to the virtual folder containing your playlist
Step 3: Click the Database softkey, and click Store As Playlist
BTW, please post if you have a more automatic solution.

As long as I know, the new MXP panel can handle desktop playlists
So with this program it's finally possible to creat playlists on the computer for the xperia media panel
@getrab
It can, but it's buggy. Some playlists are always shown as empty, I don't know why.
hey all
So I'm putting out music and trying to get the release page in a simple, touch-friendly format. So far, so good...
http://dopanex.com
except that when I click on a link on my TP2 with Opera it asks me where I want to save the MP3, instead of playing/streaming it automatically.
Is there some way to get it to stream on mobile browsers as it does in a desktop browser? Some fancy html perhaps I can include in the page code to make it more mobile-friendly?
Is it just a TP2 thing? What happens when you click a song on your phone?
thanks!
This is the message I get when clicking one of the songs from Opera.. Pretty standard really.. I'll even get that message from the links on a site like this one-> http://www.filtermusic.net/ Who use a lot of .pls extensions and some others..
Nice music btw..

hmm thats exactly what I get too.
So is that standard behavior then? No way to automatically stream an Mp3 out of a browser? Bleh...
but thanks for the music comments

i've been trying to figure this out too. i feel like the Streaming Media app that is on the device should take care of this like how Quicktime does on the iPhone but it doesnt really do much of anything. ive had the phone for about 2 months now and that is one of the things on my short list left to get it working exactly like i want it to. so if anyone knows how to force Opera multimedia files to stream automatically i'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know.
Hey guys,
Is there a widget/app that will allow me to control my music from the lockscreen? Specifically, I want previous, pause, and forward controls. The rest of the screen should be occupied by the cover art as much as possible.
A good example of what I am looking for can be found using the default Music Player on HTC Sense. The only problem with the default player is that on the lockscreen the album art looks blurry (but not so in other apps). So esentially, I am looking for a replacement.
I am currently using PlayerPro but I want the album art to cover the whole screen which it does not do... (or as much as possible instead of being constrained in a square as it currently is).
Thanks.
Winamp has a lockscreen player which looks like
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
dunno if thats what you're looking for or if thats exactly how PlayerPro does it (never tried it), but it suits me just fine
Winamp looks promising, I'll try it out and let you know.
DoubleTwist player gives you lockscreen music control.
CM6 (and Im assuming CM7) has simple previous track, play/pause, and next track buttons if you use the default music player.
If you use a cynageon mod rom I think there is a setting in cmsettings to do so, aswell as (like you said) the htc sense one but also miui has good lockscreen controls
Check out poweramp. Really nice lock screen widget.

Widgetlocker replaces your lockscreen and you can customize to your like. Its what I use and its pretty cool. Put some widgets or shortcuts on there for quick access from the lockscreen. Highly recommend.

Well I'm looking for something that occupies the entire screen with album art (when locked) and still maintains a swipe to unlock feature. It's difficult to find this. The problem with WiidgetLocker is that I only want the music to appear on the lock screen when its playing (and not every time).
Or, if anyone knows how to make the default HTC Android Music player from displaying blurry/pixellated album art, let me know
When you put music on your phone the music player sometimes splits up the albums like this: (not my screenshot, credit to styckx)

I am not responsible for anything this may do to your phone, or your music (although nothing should happen to it)
This is how to fix it, simply without having to edit song on PC:
1. Go to settings > applications > media storage and tap "Clear Data"
2. Install ZduneX25's epic port of the Honeycomb music player (may work with Gingerbread player, not tried, can someone try and skip this step) from here:
On ZDuneX25's deviantART (install by replacing Music.apk in /system/app with it with root explorer, changing its permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooting.
3. Open the music app and it should be sorted (worked for me)
Done!
If you want the CM7 music app's apk to copy back to /system/app as above you can download it here
If this is happening it is because the id3 tags are different somehow. You are better off just using a program to fix it.

They're exactly the same and this process sorts it. Also, a program takes ages!

I just use mp3tag on the PC. The ui is a little confusing but you can actually match the songs with the tags from amazon including embedded album art. Takes some time but my music is now perfect on every device I put it on. I have noticed Google music loses some of the metadata when uploading for some reason. I have to always re-enter the album artist for some reason.

Making your own tones
But we know many of you have a particular ringtone in mind—or sound files already on your PC that you’d like to turn into one. In Mango, we give you the flexibility to do this yourself—with some important caveats. To qualify as a ringtone, a sound file must be:
1. 39 seconds or shorter
2. smaller than 1 megabyte (MB)
3. saved in MP3 or WMA format
4. not copy-protected (i.e. DRM free)
In short, custom ringtones can be installed using the Zune software on your PC. Once you’ve created an audio file that meets the ringtone requirements, find it in your Zune music collection, right-click the file, and change the Genre field to Ringtone. Then just sync the file to your phone like you would any music track.

Don’t worry: items marked Ringtone won’t show up in your phone’s music collection—so there’s no need to fear that during a workout you’ll suddenly hear your dog barking or other homemade ring. Instead, you’ll see them in Ringtones + Sounds in Settings, under a new Custom category we’ve created.
god very nice solution, thank youuuu. it s better short way to make your own ringtones.
This trick was posted in WP7 forum at begining of September. Can be used only on Zune 4.8 final.

you can use any MP3 editor to change the Genre to ringtone as well...
I use MP3Tag
