Windows media player help PLEASE

I am obviously a noob- so please be gentle!
I loaded quite few commercial cds onto the windows media player and so I have say 200 songs all alphabetical by album showing on my screen when I go to library and then my music. I would like to choose the music by artist or by genre, but it is not listed anywhere on the screen AND going to options did not give me an option artist or genre. Is there something that I AM NOT doing???
If using Windows media player is going to be so limited I would also like a recommendation of a good music player. I have not even attempted to watch a video but if there is a player that would do both well, that would even be better.
Thanks

I used windows media player to get all my music onto my tilt. Ok I guess I am a noob- I THOUGHT that I would be able to see all that information when in now playing- I see now that I CAN go to album artist and genre in MY MUSIC- thanks for getting me to look a little deeper!!!!

Ok, once the files are onto your device, you need to update windows media player's library on pocket pc.
Open Library page of windows media player on pocket pc, choose menu and then select update library.

yea like what carty said...everytime i put new songs i have to update the library for it to show up

ahhhh music libary

Hi all,
got something that's driving me crazy, i can sync my music with windows media player fine and the music copies across as it should however when i come to play the music with touchflo 3d it only shows the first lot of music i put on.
I cannot seem to figure out how to refresh the libray on touchflo 3d...
does anyone have the answer for me?
thanks

If you tap 'Library', then slide accross to Albums... do your recently synced items show up there?

I am having this problem too
I cannot see any of my music in TF3D music player

no nothing is showing up i resynced all my music with media player and still nothing shows, it nows says no music found.
there must be a better way to sort the library.
there shouldnt be this hassle just to put music on the phone!

I think you require too much for a phone so cheap.
Try the advantage,or wait for HD.

i want your job if you consider this to be (a phone so cheap)
you get paid too much.
on the plus side to the normally challenged people out there , you have to update the library in windows media player, then go into library on touchflo 3D, select all songs and play the first track it then updates all the tracks for you.

thannks man, this has been driving me crazy - talk about a flaw in the system!
Will

Delete Application Data/HTC/AudioManager/AudioManager_Eng.vol and do soft reset.
this will rescann your complete library.
i got the same problem and this helped

I still cannot get it to work - all my music syncs of from media player and I can play it on media player on the diamond but on TF3D it just hangs on Searching!!!
If i delete all my media and load 1 song it works fine if I do the above deleting of the HTC application folder but if I then try to add some more it does not work!!
Has anyone got this working? or is it just me?????

prob just you lol, works for me try this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397819&highlight=tf3d+music+albums

just add the music to internal storage yourself? :S works fine for me

nope didn't work...must be just me!!
I have moved to S2P but its a shame i wanted to use the built in stuff

I had the same problems too. Until I read and followed the instructions for adding songs and album art and updating the library on TF3D.
Now for the enchilada!! Does anyone know how you can update windows media's library (once you have added more songs to the Diamond from PC) and set it to search in a particular folder instead of adding all the media files on the phone(tomtom files, alert & warning sounds and the like) to your music library. Only solution thus far more is to delete these files every time i update, which is now getting a bit tiring .
Any help or suggestions welcomed.

anyone's media player automatic closed when playing music using BT?

I use the orignal ROM with my HBH-DS220 BT stereo headset.
When I open the Windows Media Player to playing music via HBH-DS220, I turn off the screen, after about 10 minutes, Windows Media Player will automaic closed everytime.
I try to find the root cause of this issue, but nothing found.
Does anyone has the same issue like mine?

What do you mean by "closed". My understanding is that WMP (and all other apps) continue to run when "closed". You can see this on any of the tabs by pressing on the upper right hand corner which displays a list of currently running apps.

Album Music Out of Order in TF3D Tab

Since a few days ago, when I sync music onto my Diamond (I use WMP since I convert my MP3s to WMA), the album tracks are always mixed up. My previous syncs kept the album listings intact, but now they're random.
Does anyone know what causes this problem and if there's any solutions? Thanks.
EDIT: Does the TF3D Music Tab follow music tags? I'm assuming it isn't for some of my music since I have it properly tagged for track listings.

Track order...
I use WMA as I've always used Media Player when ripping my CD's to my PC. You're right, the tracks do get mixed up with HTC's music player (it may be the tags, I don't know... perhaps they assume we're all MP3 users!).
The best way to sync them (in my opinion), is to first create a new playlist within Windows Media Player (name it the same as the album), drag whichever album it is you want on your device into the playlist (the right hand pane in media player), then drag the playlist you've just created into the sync window (rather than the album itself). This will keep your tracks in the order they're meant to be in.
You may also need to rename the album art on your device because Windows Media Player sometimes calls the art Album_Art{blah, blah, blah...}, which admitedly seems a very descriptive file name for what it is, but HTC's Music Player won't recognise it, so the album art needs to be renamed 'Folder'.
Sorry for the long-winded answer. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the tip. Seems to help.
I still wonder what causes this to happen, gets annoying.

I had the same problem with my albums. I found out that TF3D sorts the music files by their track number tag.
So check your track tag, and number the tracks the way you want them to be sorted.

Hi, does anyone know how to resolve this issue properly? I mean, How to list and play WMA album tracks on Diamond correctly by track number? Because for MP3 it works fine, why for WMA not? File names and Tags are ok and works perfect in WMP, thanx for infos...

anyone can help/???

to direct audio to the bt headset use a software like btaudio. many players exist, e.g. the core media player (TCPMP) is considered one of the best.
