Media Player on Cingy Black

Ok, I'm very sorry if this is a total noob question... I suspect it is. I searched on several occasions to find posts about it but came up with nothing.
I have a Cingular 8525 and I am currently enjoying the cooked Cingy Black rom. My problem is with Media Player. I have a 100 or so mp3 files on my storage card and I would love for them to show up in Media player but they do not.
From the Library screen I choose "Menu" > "Update Library". It searches for files and finds the ones I want... shows that it is "Adding files..." but when it is finished there still isn't any music available. I can browse and select files but I can't create playlists and so forth.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Were these non-DRM mp3 files? Or were you using something like Napster to sync them before?
If they were DRM, when you flashed the ROM windows no longer has the DRM licenses for the songs. If so, You just need to sync again. Deleting the old DRMed mp3s

I have the same problem and they are not drm files.

all song names have to be in english

Try MORTPLAYER. That is what I use to get around...

does it support bluetooth playing and when i press the "next" button on the headset it goes to the next song?

I am sure you guys have done this, but if your mp3 are on storage card, make sure you select "Storage Card" instead of "My Device" under the menu/Library pull up. By default it's set to My Device which will turn up empty list.

I had a problem with this once before as well. Its weird because on my moms and brothers 8525 you can choose in the storage card as an option to view files where mine requires me to go to the menu (bottom right) and select open file. You can locate your storage card and playlists. I just got the moto s9's and they work awsome and I can control from headset.

also make sure you didnt delete the METADATA folder on your storage card because thats used by WMP to see the files on the card. Make sure you have "view all files" checked off on file explorer.

You may have a corrupt playlist - this happens to me a lot. Try deleting the folder "MSMETADATA" from your storage card (you'll need to select "show all files" in File Explorer's Menu to see this directory), then go back into media player and rebuild your library.

This is _exactly_ what has been happening to me. Never had an issue with TCPMP or MortPlayer. But I have to use WMP10 to play my new DRMed Napster tracks (what can I say, all-you-can-eat is sweetness).
This is what I did to fix (for now) the problem. It happened after about...a week after uploading some tracks:
1. Shut down WMP. (Start>Settings>System>Memory>Running Programs>)
2. Delete MSMETADATA folder on storage card through file explorer.
3. Open WMP and Menu>Update Library.
If I don't do step 3 WMP doesn't have the option of using the storage card.
Thanks for the help!

i had this problem before...
fix: file explorer > storage card > DELETE the folder MSMETADATA nd then reupdate...should work...always does for mee at least

WMPmobile Library

Hi
Posting it cause people here can have enough knowledge to help me.
I have problem with library on my htc touch2.
First of all I don't want to use Windows Media Player on my desktop computer.
I keep my music on \Storage Card\My Documents\My Music\.
I also have some wav files ringtones on Device and some wav game files on \Storage Card\Games\.
I want to been able to play music in WMP mobile.
If I clear my library (delete XMEMediaLibrary.mlb) and tried to use files browsing instead of library browsing I can't select multiple files to add to current playlist, is there any way?
If I want to add my music to library I must go to 'update library' with no any directory selection to scan, it result that my library have all audio files from device and sd card. I know I can remove XMEMediaLibrary.mlb from Device to restrict library to sd card only but don't want to have game's audio files in library also.
Also when I put new music on sd card I must 'update library' and again delete .mlb file from device, right?
It's really pathetic! is there any way, maybe some registry tweaks to make WMP mobile library scan only My music directory? it must be something :/

nobody knows any sollution?

Unable to set custom ringtone

Hi.
I've copied a few small mp3 files to the folder 'ringtones' (which was present in the root folder out of the box). Unfortunately these songs do no appear in the list of ring tones when I choose to change it in the settings.
If I select "add" a list of songs on the phone is displayed, but only those who are stored in the music folder.
I'd rather not have the ring tones stored in the music folder, any suggestions on how to find them when choosing ring tones?
All the mp3-files have worked flawlessly on other android systems (all non ICS).
/r
PS: I've also put a m4a file in the notifications folder. This one shows up as expected under the list of available notification sounds.

Strange, MP3s work fine on my ICS-running Sensation - and I put them in the same folder on my SD card...perhaps they have to be m4a now??

Got it working now.
There was a .nomedia file in that folder avoiding it to get parsed by the music applicaiton on my Desire. I tried to remove it, but that was apparently not sufficient.
I had to connect to the PC, remove all files, disconnect the phone to force update of "sd card" contents, and then connect again to copy back the same files.
/r

Ballache!! But at least we know what to check now! Good find

Install something like Tone Picker.

Custom Ringtone

Hey What's up.
I cutted a scene from a Video (TS format), Duration 0:16 .
Then I converted it from TS to Mp3, Wav, MP4, MP4A
and transfered it to the phone. No matter what format I tried, the file doesn't open, can't change the default ringtone
because the phone does not detect it in Files Manager nor Music.
I tried to open the files followed download paths (where it stored on phone) I recieve Error(1). What to do?

Rebbot your phone, to allow the system to poll new files and list them properly, then use a file explorer (I recommend you use MiX File Explorer as it works best), and move the ringtone you've just made to this directory:
storage/emulated/MIUI/.ringtone/
(Or your internal storage directory) then open settings and it will appear quickly. Ringtones can me *.MP3, *.OGG, or even *.WAV I believe. The reason Music doesn't see it is because in the Music app, it filters out small files and short music so it doesn't clutter up if you have actual music there. Below is a screenshot of the default settings:

Export playlists from Sony Music App

I would like to transfer (export) playlists I've made using the Sony Music app, to a new (non-Sony) device.
The playlists are all referencing files in my downloads, which I'll transfer to the new phone as well.
I don't know the format of these files, such as .M3U, .PLS, .XML etc, but if I search for a playlist name with my phone connected to my PC via USB (Internal Storage) - no results are found. I was hoping I could transfer playlist files to the new phone.
Anyone know a way of doing this please?

No?

It can be done... I just copied the Music Center database from my FIIO DAP to my Samsung phone, but it does require effort to change entries in the database to make it work. The database is in SQLite format.
If you're copying the same audio files from phone A to phone B in the same directory structure, it is less of a hassle.
On the source phone there should be a database file - [root]\MusicCenter\metadata.db. Make sure you completely close the Music Center app, then copy this file somewhere on your PC.
Create a temporary playlist on the new device with a couple random tracks and copy it to your PC.
Using something like DB Browser for SQLite, open the database from the new device. Go to Browse Data and select the "storage" table. Copy the data from the "system_storage_uuid" and "app_local_storage_id" fields into a text editor.
Select the "playlist_members" table and note the "storage_uuid" field (it should match one of the entries from the "storage" table).
Close that database file and open the one from your original phone. Change the entries in the "storage" table to match those in the database from the new device. Then select the "playlist_members" table and update the "storage_uuid" for each entry to match as well -- there is a search/replace option in DB Browser for SQLite that can change them all at once. Write the changes and copy the updated database to your new device.
YMMV... but this worked for me.
