hi, i'd really like to use the touch flo music player but when i go into the library it shows upto three tracks of the same song, with two of the tracks having an exclamation mark next to them. even when i click on the song that has the music note/ album art, it wont play it (but it plays the song in wmp or s2p). i have deleted one of the tracks but it still shows three of this track in the library. the files are in 'integrated storage/ MUSIC/ $artist/ $album'. i've also seen the audiomanager_eng file stop working a couple of times. i have about 2gb of music at the moment.
thanks, kris
kpm, try to use Clone Remover. It's the best duplicate file remover i've ever met.

Hi all,
I have finally managed to get the album art to be displayed in the Touch Flo 3D. When I select a song from the library, the correct image is shown. However, I'm still not able to flip / browse / scroll through the different albums which are stored in the 4GB internal memory. Flo 3D just doesn't display the albums, only individual songs.
When I just unpacked the Diamond, there were two demo albums (with one song) stored in the device memory. Those were displayed correctly, but I've erased those demo albums, because the songs were not my style.
It seems that the Internal Storage is not scanned in a proper way to display the albums, because I get the message "Geen muziek gevonden", which is Dutch for "No music found". But the strange thing is, is that the individual songs are selectable through the library.
I used Windows Media Player 11 to synchronize my music albums. Anyone having similar problems, because I could not find a thread on this.
Is the album art included in the tags? If not you could try that. I don't know if WMP does that, but media monkey and other free apps do. If it doesn't even work then somethings probably not right.
I've added the album art in the tags using MediaMonkey. Before that, the images were not even shown, but as I said, I've managed to fix that. The only problem that remains is that I'm not able to scroll through the albums. Am I missing something? How do you select album flipping? Is this a special combination?
There are a lot of ways to show up album art. Mediamonkey works but i just put the song under content/music, create an folder with the artist name and put the song with a jpg picture in that map. Rename the picture to folder.jpg and you're device creates the album art. Under the touchflow select library and play the song so it shows up.
It sounds like your issue is not in getting album art to show at this point, but in getting the flip interface to show albums rather than songs, correct? I'm afraid you are mistaken about the original configuration. The flip interface always has and will continue to merely show songs. It's just that the original samples only had one song per album, so it looked like it was showing you individual albums. To browse through your albums, you need to drill down into the appropriate screen in the library. The flip interface will only show the songs in your active playlist.

Hmmm, could that be the case? Let me settle with this explanation (for now). Thanks!
I have a stock Sprint TP. I noticed too that the Albums disappeared from the flip interface in TF3D after playing a song. As stated above, to get back to being able to Flip between songs on Albums you need to go to the Music tab, select Library from the bottom then navigate to All Songs tab, select Menu > add to Playlist. Now all the songs in your library are in your playlist and will be displayed on the main Music tab in TF3D.
gbrailsford, thanks that worked great for me! I used windows media player to sync songs and put the album covers through
I have tried just about everything in every thread on here to get the albums to actually show on the main screen of the music player.
I can see them all if i go to library albums and they all show their art but when i play one i cant see the other to scroll through them.
So Far :
I have embedded the art in to EVERY file
I have created a folder.jpg in each folder
Tried syncing it with my Media Player
Still no working, all work fin in slide 2 play but want to get them working with music player as well.
Any help much appreciated
Pah...album art has to be the single most awkward thing to get to work consistently in any media player at all.
If I were you I would give it up and listen to the music...
Do you mean that in the main screen only one or two songs display (regardless of album art)? If so, go to library, choose for all songs, and press up again. You can also go to All songs and select one song, it should start playing and show all the other albums also(when you flip through them)
I use mediamonkey to embed every mp3 i have with an album tag. Then i simply copy the mp3's i want to the phone (I've created a folder called MP3 in the Internal Storage and copy the files all there)
Then all album art is there (sometimes one or two pictures missing out of hundreds of songs)
hi there everyone .
can anyone explain me how do i play music files that i stored on the internal storage , thrue the music TAB ?
thanx
Music tab?
Select left softkey (Library) and choose the album / playlist you would like to listen to. The first icon in the library is the currently selected playlist. Then Artists, Albums, Playlists, All Songs, Genres, Composers and finally Purchased.
Of course to be able to play tracks, you need to have synced some first using Windows Media Player. One further note... sometimes Media Player names the album art something strange which Music Player doesn't recognise, so to make sure your album art is displayed, use file explorer to rename the album art in each of your synced albums to 'Folder'.
e.g. \Internal Storage\Music\Girls Aloud\Tangled Up\Album Art.jpg - rename to Folder.jpg (Sorry about the Girls Aloud reference... it's my wifes', honestly!!)
thanks a llot budy /
you have made my day better
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...
I bought 'Anthems' Ministry Of Sound Electronic 80's Volume 2 from Amazon MP3 and it shows in Music as about 60 different 'Albums' each with one song in it. Perhaps 2 songs if there is more than one track by a particular artist on the compilation. This is not good as I can't play the Album.
I imported the set of MP3s into iTunes, and it shows on iTunes and on my iPod as a single album. Must have got that from the ID3 tags, I guess?
I deleted the album from my Amazon MP3 folder on the Galaxy, then used DoubleTwist to import it back onto the Galaxy from my iTunes library, and it /still/ has 60 different 'Albums'.
How can I get this album to show as one Album? I've tried the Galaxy stock Music player, and MixZing and Zimly. They all show it as multiple albums.
I'm trying to get rid of my iPod and use the Galaxy as my main music source, but things like this are getting me down.
Please help!
Thanks
Done some searching and I find that compilation albums are a sore point in Android and no app will sort them properly. A lot of my music is multi artist compilation and it's just a mess in any player app that I can find. Just tried winamp too.
Guess I won't be replacing my ipod after all

Just use the folder option in the library to play the album.

Not sure what that means - if I look with Astro or My Files apps, each song is in a folder of its own, hanging off the 'Music' folder on my external SD. Single artist albums have all the songs in an Artist/Album/Song hierarchy.
it was probably done that way by doubletwist.
Download media monkey, copy the compilation, go into media monkey, find that copy, then using media monkey select all tracks, and change album name to whatever you want. Done!
Fix Found
Had this issue, it appears it's an ID3 tag error.
You can fix it by getting an app called ID3 fixer.
Select the folder that holds your music and set the charset to "US-ASCII (English)"
If you still have issues, try different charsets.
