I have my music on my storage card in (dun dun dunnnn) My Documents\My Music. Each artist has a folder and in those folders are the albums. In the albums I have cover art. Not all of it is showing when the songs are played....what's up with that?

1. Could be due the album art not being in the song, not sure ghow it reads but think they need to be id3 taged with album art "Someone will have better answer than me as it doesn't bother me but know that the ones of mine that show have been id3 taged with album art"
2. Does she have the allow incoming beams activated, different than having the device visible..
1. Album art should be in the format COVER.JPG then nearly all media players will display it (wm media player sometimes does not show art due to it being complete crap)
2. Beam is simply bluetooth. Both units have to have bluetooth on and be set to allow incoming files.
OK cool. Thanks for the answers. Bluetooth was on for both phones at the time. I looked through the settings and didn't see anything that would amount to being visible but not allowing incoming data so I will look again. It's not too much of an issue. She keeps me updated anyway.

I just flashed Schap's 4.31 rom to my att 8525 (hermes) a couple of days ago and I am having a few minor issues.
It is awesome. I am loving the extra space and look!
But here are my problems:
The first was my keyboard mapping. But, I got that fixed.
I cannot watch youtube mobile. Streaming player just sits at "connecting..." when i use the media net connection, or the dialed connection gets rejected for isp.cingular. Nor does it work with an operating WiFi connection (phone off.).
How can I get the pictures on my storage card to be recognized by the camera album program? Pictures and videos still sees them.
Also, what is the best radio to be running? I have 1.16.00.00
And is there a way to make the email icon on my today screen go directly to my GMAIL account instead of the account picker?

1. good work.
2. www.ytpocket.com
3. Check Advanced config and change the default save location to My Pictures.
4. Since youre in the USA, you should be using the same radio Im using. 1.54.07.00
5. Uncheck "Display account picker when opening Messaging" under Messaging options.
1. Thanks.
2. Is there no way to make the streaming player work from youtube mobile? We can only use ytpocket?
3. I changed the save location to My Pictures. And the 'default storage location for image files' to /storage card\my documents\my pictures. The pictures on my SD card still don't show up in the camera album program.
4. Will work on flashing the radio today.
5. I tried disabling the account picker and all that does is take me to whatever messaging account I had open last. I wanted to make it so no matter what I looked at last, it would open my email page. Can that be done, or am I just asking a bit too much customization?
Just been syncing some music to my TP2 and, rather annoyingly, the HTC music player will not play in track number order!!
If I use windows media player, the tracks play in their correct order.
Anyone else seen this - or got a solution??
Are you using .m4a (AAC) files from iTunes? If so, my Touch Pro (raphael) does exactly the same thing. I find it so annoying too. Real shame to hear that HTC still can't even get this one simple thing right. Search the forums, there are various posts about it here and there, though as yet I don't think anyone has worked out a way around the problem - do have a look for yourself though as I gave up searching a few months ago ; )
If you use MP3 files, they will appear in track order...
Come on HTC - this is terrible!
My source music is wma lossless, and the sync process transcodes it into 192K WMA files on the phone.
Can`t believe this is a long standing bug!! V poor!!
just disavble any crappy "transcoding" in activesync - you don't need it.

I cant do that - my source files are *lossless* - that means file sizes of around 40mb per track!!!!

I have the same problem. I'm use the same songs from my fuze and the fuze loaded them right
anyone found a fix for this yet?
My source files are also lossless wma and the sync transcodes them to 128kb/s wma and I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to convince some HTC tech support guy that this is actually happening. I'm about ready to pull my hair out, this guy will not admit even the possibility of this happening. He keeps coming up with yet another thing to try or another reason that it is my fault.
I'm OK with the occasional bug in SW. Just as long as the company acknowledges it and works to fix it but when they go to this much trouble to avoid even acknowledging it ...
S
i had been looking for a fix to this issue for a very long time, until i found out that the problem is caused (in my case) by
1) windows media player not saving the track numbers correctly into the files
2) touch flow only looking in the "right" place for the track information, which is not the place where wm player stores it
my solution:
1) download mp3tag (freeware app)
2) put all tracks of album you want to fix into the program
3) select all tracks and re-save the tag information (you don't have to change anything, the program just saves the information that is in the audio file "somewhere" into the right place)
4) place the fixed files on your phone again
easy fix....use coreplayer
I never liked the way WMP or the native media player handled files, etc. Coreplayer has been such a better experience!
I used Windows media player to sync music to the default storage card location which is "my device\storage card\music". When I go to the HTC music Icon it starts searching for music and never finds any. The songs are mp3.
When I first got the TP2, I transfered a few files to the phone prior to getting a microSD card. When I went to the HTC music icon at that time it didn't have any problem finding the music.
What is the solution?
Thanks.
Anybody - need help on this.
Try delete everything (files and folders) under this folder
My Device\Application data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\
(if you have trouble removing the content, reboot your device first)

Thanks for the reply. I tried the following and it worked:
I used Advanced Configuration Manager to change the default location to "\Storage Card\Music".
I deleted the music in the Music folder on my main storage and when I touched the touchflo Audio tab it said searching. I opened up library and when I clicked all songs they started to appear. After I did that, all was good.
yeah i don't like the sync option with windows media player.
i have a question though: how do you keep the music playing when the screen is off? i like to keep my phone in the case & i want to play music thru the speaker but i don't want the screen on.
wtf? double post? how?
my question is: How do you get it to change the artwork? I have the same picture appearing for every song, even though it is a different artist. Why does that happen?

Glad to know that works too
I recently changed my music folder's location (also to Storage card\Music) and Audio Manager refused to refresh. Deleting the content of AudioManager_Eng resolved the issue very well for me without resorting to Advanced Configuration (which I haven't installed)

Do you have to do this step every time you add new music to the phone so TF3D knows to re-index the music folder?
Just wanted to get a feel how different users add music to their tp2. Personally, I use the drag-n-drop method to copy mp3's from my laptop to my tp2, simply because it's infinitely faster than syncing files.
It seems my preferred method makes using the touch-flo (sense) music tab obsolete, as it doesn't seem to properly recognize the files, so I use wmp. I know I'm in the minority, but I love wmp.
Anyway, how do you get your tunes on your phone...???
Drag and Drop
But...occasionally my album art won't show up, and I have to sync an album, which takes forever and a day.
Ive always been keen on drag and dropping using folders. I might be old school or whatever but syncing and other setups just annoy me and get in my way.
On a different note though I wish the media player could sort by album artist and not just song artist.
p-
I do drag and drop as well, but I actually just stream alot of my music because I only have an 8GIG memory card, and I have 250 on my server (my computer) so, i use WMP, but drag n drop is the way to go!
I have 7gb of music on my tp2 and i have never plugged my tp2 to a computer. i always download my albums directly to my tp2. i dont have a problem with my music tab or album art.

where do you download from...???
Hi everyone, I installed a new radio in my car yesterday which has a USB port. I figured I could easily move the music onto my sd card /Music for example and simply plug the phone into the USB and I would be able to navigate through artists folders/albums/and chose the song.
Unfortunately, it has not been so easy. For some reason the radio will not read sub directories. It will see all the folders that are in the root (ex. LOST.DiR, Handcent, Music, doubleTwist etc...) but it will not read most folders inside Music. The weird part is that it does recognize the ACDC folder and the A.F.I. but nothing else...It will also play any song that is inside the Music folder as long as it's not inside an artist folder.
I also tried to create a different folder in the root directory and move music there and it wont even see the manually created folder.
I'm truly baffled by this, i've done extended amounts of research and come up empty handed. Has anyone had this problem?
I too would like to know how to get this to work.

If it will read anything in the root of the Music folder, why not put all your music there? You dont need to separate the music into artist and album subfolders, the player will read the id3 tag.
Honestly, I wouldn't even mess around with it if I was in your situation. I would just go and buy a $30 thumb drive and put all the music on that and call it a day.
No the radio will just display every song individually and i have around 6000 songs. Oh well ill just use the aux port. I hate scrolling through music on my car stereo anyway. It's just really annoying and if your like me then you want to know how things work. Thanks for the suggestion though.
