Audio Manager Question

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?
Oh and I do so love lumping to inquiries into one thread so here goes! I cannot beam using this ROM. My fiancee has a Dash at the T-Mobile (USA) standard ROM. I wanted to beam calendar appointments between the phone but the two cannot see each other unless Bluetooth is on and even then "beaming" fails. I noticed that her phone has "Beam" in the Connections Manager whereas my phone does not...

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.

TP2 Music app doesn`t play in track order!

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 ...

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!

[Q] USB Radio not working correctly with EVO

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.

music players can't find music files

hi there,
There's something that's bugging me lately.
With any music player (stock, meridian, ecc) when i go to "all songs" (or i think it's called "tracks" on stock player) it only shows a half dozen files, as opposed to the 400 there should have been.
Funny thing is that when i explore with those music players inside the folders, the files are all there and magically from that point on, they appear in the "all songs" section and they play fine, but looking better, when i explore the sd card, it says "refresh to scan media" under each previously invisible file.
Every time i reboot the phone those files became invisible again and it's kinda annoying... anybody has some ideas?

Is there any difference in the music files? What format are they in? Maybe the scanner doesn't scan certain formats automatically. Just a guess though.

thank you for the answer, however, the issue disappeared. Don't know if that's what healed my phone, however i went exploring with ESfile explorer and found a rather useles file called "nomedia" with no extension and no format which appeared in the music folder. After that everything went back to normal.
I forgot to say that i recently bought a 16gg class 4 sd card and almost thought to call for a replacement... but things are working now!

.nomedia files are there to tell the default android media scanner to ignore that folder. It's used so sound and picture files from apps and games don't show up in media players. That was were your problem was

Whats the best way to load music onto my note 2?

I push fodlers to my SD card currently but there are times when it splits songs/albums for seemingly no apparent reason. Like the album A Deathgrip On Yesterday is split into two albums. Track 1,2,3,4,6,7,8 and then Track 5 is on a seperate album.
Is there a cure for this or is it something Im just going to have to live wiht? Most of my audio files are from thepiratebay and I just unzip with utorrent and push the files i want to my card

You can edit the mp3 tags to fix that, if it's what I think it is...
