So i got the ATT Tilt on Friday and put my microsd card in there which has mp3s in the "Music" directory. However, when I browse to it using the file explorer, the Music diretory is not there. What's weird is, Windows Media Player 2 lists all the mp3s in that directory that i can't see, but it wont play any of them and gives me an error, like invalid location.
Did ATT install some sort of digital rights management to keep you from using your own mp3s? When I put the microsd card back into my 8525, everything works fine and the mp3s and the music diretory show up fine. Anyone else experience this? That would be really ****ty of ATT if that's the case.
Well, my music is in STORAGE CARD-> Music
I synced it via wmp11.(IMPORTANT)
Try using HTC audio manager, it MIGHT be able to play the mp3s... idk
If you still can't find it and/or it doesnt play then it is best to assume ATT locked it.

Hello,
I just got my new TyTN II, I put all my songs onto a 2gb Micro SD card in a folder called "My Music" the app does not seem to find the songs. Media player seems to find the songs just fine, but I would rather use audio manager. I'm still using the stock ROM. The audio managers version is 1.2 (build 725.711)
I'm still quite new to Windows Mobile any help would be appreciated.
i dont use htc audio manager anymore, but i recall there being an option somewhere that scans the external memory for any songs.
I have mine in a folder called music, and it found those with no trouble, so maybe try changing the folder name
Hello everyone - I think either I've missed posts on this, my "buzz words" are not correct, OR... it's only MY issue.
Trying to download and play MP3s. The download perfectly to my computer. Now...
1. Took FOREVER to Active Sync the files over to MY DOCUMENTS for my device. Is there another way?
2. Now that they're over there, I successfully move them to my storage card. When I ask Media Player to "update the library", it pulls everything in to include my voice commands for TOM TOM!
3. I want to create a playlist, but for some reason I don't know how. I click on MY PLAYLISTS (selecting Storage Card of course), and it finds NOTHING!
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Do you have a memory card reader for your computer? if so just load everything up on your memory card and just put it in your phone
No card reader I'm afraid. My wife has a Treo 650, and the files just FLY right over when she syncs. And now that the files are OVER there, I can't put them in a play list. I guess I don't know how. And I'm searching the net fevorishly trying to find out! The Treo 650 uses Real Player, and I'm using the Media Player that came with Dutty's 4/29 hybrid.

Try plugging the device into the computer, click on explore, mobile device, storage card, create a my music folder in there, then just select the songs you want to move, drag and drop them. It does take a little while to transfer, especially if the music files are good quality. After that is done, open windows media player search for new tunes, make sure it is searching in storage card, my music. That should do it. I never use activesync to move files. btw htc media player is very basic and doesn't have play lists wmp does.
Alright so I'm trying to get my music onto my phone and I am running into some issues. I tried first to drag and drop onto my 16 gig storage card and got all the music on there but when I would go onto my Windows Media Player it would search and find the files then it would add about 3 or 4 then quit. So I did some searching and ended up finding out that I should delete MSMdata. So I did. That did not help. So I decided to try HTC's audio player and it would search, find the files, then quit out. So I then went to Kinomo freeplay which found the files and could play them but only about half of them because the other half are in AAC format. So I did some more searching and found that using Windows media player to sync my music with my phone is supposed to work, but sadly it didn't help. WMP find the files then quits out, as does HTC audio player. Kinomo freeplay finds the files but there are about 3-4 copies of every song and only 1 copy works. So now I am out of ideas and very frustrated. Anyone got any ideas/ suggestions?

Could it be that one or more of the music files are corrupt?
Does DRM mean anything to you ? Is that the problem ?
I recommend Mortplayer. It's the best MP3 player bar none and it's free!!!
I just loaded an album via usb and for some reason only a few songs are showing up on the music player(stock and mixzing). I am running cyanogenmod 6 rc1, I have a 4 gig sd card with about 1 gig free and about 200 mp3's. If I use Astro to look for the files, they show up and can be played but still wont show up on the music player. Anyone know a solution to this problem? I have tried rebooting the phone and unmounted the sd card.

Are they all under one folder? A music folder?
You might have to set a default music folder depending on what player your using.
They are all in a Music folder, I have some full albums in subfolders, but some songs show up and others don't, even if they are not in a subfolder. It seems like its only this latest music loaded that is having this problem.
I downloaded an mp3 tag editor(TagScanner). The only difference I have found between the mp3's that don't show up is where is the Tag Bar. Mp3's that have ID3v1.0 don't show up, seems like all other ones are good.
I had this problem a while back and it was pissing me off as I couldn't work it out. It turned out that I had a space character at the end of some directory names for some reason which threw the scanner off. (Maybe it was a space at the end of the ID3 tag descriptions? One or the other).
Good luck, I know how annoying it is!
does anyone know how to put music thats on itunes one the music player of a hero i tried but when i go to play the sng it says that it doesnt play this file type
I use a program called double twist on my mac. It's not great but it gets the job done. I think it supports Windows now too.
Could also bee cause your music is all aac files and Idk if the hero will play those. Google it. If not you'll have to convert your library to mp3 or a compatible type.

The only way I know of would be to burn an audio CD and then rip it with your computer as an MP3 or similar format the Hero music player can support. The audio format of iTunes is a protected format and without some unique software tricks you cannot directly import these files into another player.
I use itunes agent....double twist does not seem to sync all songs at times, it is quite haphazard for me
You could drag and drop the music from the folder on your computer to the Music folder on your sd card, that's usually what I do, and it works a little better for me than a sync program.
I've used doubletwist and it always syncs really rally slow for me. I love the doubletwist app on android, but the desktop app is terrible for me. When you put the music on your sd card whatever music app you use should read it and load out into your library automatically.
That Being said, do you know what file format up have?

thats how i was doing it and it wouldnt play when i went to my music player on the phone and i found a program called salling and it syncs it but doesnt sync the album that wont play in the first place so i think its the file type that keeping it from playing
If your music is protected then you wont be able to drag and drop it on your sd card. As far as i know, iTunes no longer sells their music that way. Ctrl+i (Cmd +i for mac) will tell you what format your music is in. Under summary it will say either "Protected AAC Audio File" or "Purchased AAC Audio File". I have no problem with the Purchased files but I do with the protected. Hope this helps!

Any idea if its possible to convert the protected aac to a purchased aac format? I ask because aac is usually much smaller than mp3 and before I knew that aac would not play on most players I let iTunes convert all my mp3's to aac in order to save space.
