Hi,
I copies all my music to internal\music\"CD_title" as mp3 files
in each folder there is the cover as a jpg file
I never get touchflo to show all cd covers one after another in a scrolable way.
It only shows ONE cd cover.
When I go to library, I see all uploaded cds, here I can pick a new one to listen to. The cover then is shown but always one at a time.
I read lots of messages but still can't find a way to solve this issue.
All help is welcome
Thank you all
when you go to library, do you choose for 'all songs' first? If you choose that one it should show all covers in the player.
After reading your post not sure how you did organize your files, I have all mp3's in one folder on the diamond, not in separate folders per cd or artist.
Besides that, what I've found out also, if the album or track titles contains special characters like ":" or ">" then the album art won't show for that particular song. I replaced them with "-" and all is fine now.
makes no difference.... even if I choose "all songs", all I get is 1 cover...
(rommel vrees ik)

hmmm, putting all mp3's in one folder and see how it goes then? When you select all songs, then tap on one song in that list, it should now go to the 'main; screen again, still only shows one cover?
And with one song you mean it also doesn't shhow the 'covers' with questionmarks in it?
(zooitje inderdaad)
I stored all my mp3 files into the \internal\music folder
Did a soft reset
go to "music" -tab
get: searching
get: "nothing found"
go to library: all files with correct covers are shown
choose "all songs"
go back to the main screen...
get: "nothing found"

What happens when you select a track in the 'all songs' library to play it?
Hi
earlier i had the same problem!
then i tried media monkey because it allows you to auto tag your mp3 files from internet.
i copy all mp3 in an extra folder on my pc, start mediamonkey and begin to tag all selected mp3 files with albumcovers , songname etc. after copy the files to my diamond all covers were shown correct in tf3d !
greetings
mr moe
I'm making progress now...
Now I get cd covers, with 2, then another cover of the same cd with 4 tracks.
I can not find any difference in the tag..
I used the suggested media monkey..
What's next
JP
seems the covers are sorted by song and not by album...
If I can sort this out, I think my problem is solved.
Please.... HELP!!!! final step is so near now!
JP
Guys... please do read everything I write... you simply won't find a better source of info on a given subject than those articles... see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415063 , it answers ALL your questions.
all that is left is to know the way to sort my mp3-files by album or artist...

Nobody for this final question?

this has also been answered by my bible. On the Diamond alone, you can't, unless you use either Pocket Player on CorePlayer. Both of these players here far better sorting capabilities than WMP
Do I need the WMP even if I use the default rouchFlo music player... the one that opens when you are on the correct tab... you know what I mean
Unsure why, but having had a few wm handsets this has never bothered me showing cd art, but this has really annoyed me on this one i think before it's just worked ! anyhow eventually sorted this for myself - none of the guides on here helped to be honest my solution is this..
The jpg must be named accordingly:
htc_"album name".jpg
Appears that the album name must be exactly as in the id3 tag and is case sensitive.
Hope this helps as it's been annoying me all morning.

ALright i have a fairly simple question..
where is the folder that holds the sounds for like txt message alerts and such... so that i can add my own custom sounds..
Thanks
Please search before posting, unless you really want flaming!, this has been covered many, many times before...
It doesn't matter where the current sounds are (/windows/) just stick your mp3/wma/wav files in /my documents or /storage card/my documents/ and it will pick them up....
Cheers,

That doesn't work for me for message alerts...
Funnily enough, I'd been looking for this myself and found out from elsewhere that you can just put it in Application Data/Sounds and it picks them up from there
This is still not working, for some reason it wont play the sound.
Note: i am trying to do this for text messaging
Probably MP3 files ain't working/supported for Text Message notifications. Why don't you try placing a wav file in Windows folder?
Regards,
Carty..
Still not working.
I found with all my ppc devices as follows...
Ringtones -
MP3, WMA, WAV and Midi. Can be kept in Documents or Rings Folder.
SMS, MMS ETC -
WMA or WAV in Windows directory only.
Hope that helps

Try placing this file in the windows directory. This one works for me! Odds are if this one works, and yours don't they are the wrong format of wav file. Check out the properties of that one, and convert yours to match. Don't ask me how, that's the one I have been using for the last 10 years and I used windows sound recorder back then, I have no idea how to do it now!
C:\windows\rings has always worked for me.

I have the same problem. Plus, I would like to open a picture in HTC album from file explorer, but it always just opens the default album, not the picture I want to open.
Any help is appreciated!
Yeah, I would be lost without the forum as well!

Hi Laser 21,
Did you ever find a solution to this problem?
Thanks,

Can block all folders except in Internal Storage..
Hello,
the only solution I'm aware of is to set the 'hidden' attribute on the folders which should not be visible in the HTC-Album.
In my experience each individual image has to have the hidden attribute set, rather than the folders.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424784
Hello Dave,
yes, you're right.
I used "Total Commander/CE", and tried to set the hidden-attribute on a folder called "Musik", and selected "Recurse subdirs". Then I checked some subfolders an saw that the folders were not marked "hidden" (that does work with "Total Commander 32" on my PCs). But after a reboot, HTC-Album didn't list any of the subfolders inside the "Musik"-folder. So I thought it was enough to mark the top-folder hidden to hide all subfolders, too.
I just checked the folder again and saw that Total-Commander/CE had marked all files 'hidden'.
So it's not as easy as I thought.

It's easy enough from a desktop computer in USB disk drive mode.
I don't generally use HTC Album but this is a fix I have to do with my music album art in order to keep the program actually usable. It's a really flawed bit of software IMO.
Hi guys,
Ive had a good search and cannot find anything about this problem.
On the music tab of my diamond it lists all of my music when I go into the Library option, only problem being that it is still listing items ive deleted. The library mark these files with an exclamation mark so knows they are not there, but I cannot find out how to remove them from the library list. The player will also still attempt to play them, but just skips straight past them.
Anyone got any ideas how I can make the library update to remove these files?
Thanks for any advice
go to \app data\HTC\AudioManager rename the AudioManager_Eng.vol file. Softreset and it will refresh the library and create a new AudioManager_Eng.vol file, you can then delete the old one you created.
Not sure if there's a simpler way around it.
Typical, had another search around the phoen and it turns out you just delete a file.
For anyone thats interested
Start/File Explorer/Application Data/HTC/AudioManager/Delete the AudioManager_Eng.vol file
Just got the topaz
Doing what I normally do, I wanted to put some music on the thing.
I transferred a folder of mp3s to the device, and at the same time I deleted the two songs already there.
Now the player wont play!
It just says 'searching....'
When I go into the 'library' (softbutton on the lefthand side) - it shows the titles of the two songs I deleted. There is a speaker next to the first of them.
Looking around inside the library - I find the folder that I transferred myself, but I can't see the two songs I deleted.
There is apparently no way to remove the two dead entries - and the TouchFLO player seems to be operating under the delusion that if it keeps on searching the two deleted songs WILL be found.
Any way to remedy this apparent deadlock (besides hardresetting the thing)?
Can you put the two files back? Even if you no longer have them, you could rename a couple of files to match. That might get you up and running again and you can try and delete them from the library then.
That's a good idea!
I spoke to HTC Support, and their suggestion was to find a metadata folder for WMplayer - but we couldn't find it - it wasn't were it was on their device. I don't know it's name, but it was to be located in the very root, or maybe the root of the storagecard (haven't got one yet). So he promised to check it out and get back to me.
Meanwhile I hardreset the device, since I only just got it, I wouldn't lose anything anyhow.
But if the problem IS some metadata that doesn't seem to be deleted, maybe your suggestion would have worked
i had the problem on my phone, i duno what exactly fixed it but i put more music on and soft reset the phone so one of them might've fixed the issue
So as I like to listen to audio books very much and as I bought WinPhone I decided to write this app.
It does a really simple thing - generates a podcast feed from a folder that you give to app (with audio book). Than you "subscribe" to this self-made "podcast",set to play it from the oldest one, sync all "episodes" with your phone and that's it.
If you have a windows phone 8.1+ device please follow to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...oks2-audio-t2922308/post56362244#post56362244
ElAudioBooks - my new app for listening to audio books.
[0.1]
First release
So there are 7 steps you need to do. They a really simple
I'll comment them a little:
At step 1 you need to select folder with files of audiobooks.
Typically you will have smth like
01.mp3
02.mp3
03.mp3
etc. in the correct folder.
At step 2
I try to get and sort all files of audiobook.
You can have 2 types of sorting for now:
like string: 1.mp3 10.mp3 2.mp3 20.mp3
like int: 1.mp3 2.mp3 10.mp3 20.mp3
It's for setting up the right playing order.
Hope you got it
Step 3 is the name of the book. The same name will be on your phone.
Step 4. Select a free port for your system and press Start button.
If it hadn't threw an exception it is a good sign
Step 5.
Now you have a feed url.
It should be smth like http://localhost:8888/feed.xml
Step 6. Add podcast to zune with this feed. Set it up to play the older episodes first and to sync ALL episodes with your phone.
Step 7. Actually sync your device and listen to your book
There's also video available on how to:

*Tries to autofind albumart in the folder with audio book
@Fixed exception when trying to add another book without closing the app
*ability to add info about audiobook to overview section on the phone.
Thanks very much for this
Wonderful!
What about albumart? (I'm downloading right now)
For now it's just a pretty picture of audio book.
May be I'll implement custom pictures in future...
Can this work with protected file?
I don't have any of them, so I don't know....
Updated with new version!
This is awesome!! I have just spent a ton of time trying to find a long and complicated way of doing what your program does in minutes. This makes life so much easier.
Custom pictures would be great.
Thanks again,
Jonathan
Updated with new version.
Now with custom picture for a book.
Awesome
This is really awesome. Keep up the great work.
Very helpful - thanks much!
Feature request: it'd be great to add support for a directory hierarchy instead of a single folder. (This would be helpful for multi-disc audiobooks that are organized into subfolders like Disc1\, Disc2\, etc.)
I'd be glad to assist with coding if needed.

Accepted, I'll code it. Shouldn't be difficult
This is great!
Very nice piece of software!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you! This solves the problem of getting them to list in the correct order!
Now that they show in the correct order under podcasts, is there any way to get one podcast to go automatically to the next file in the series?
I have short segments (5 minutes each, on a 6 hour book) and it's driving me crazy to have to go back to the podcast directory every five minutes and start the next one.
Just hit the play button on the podcast itself (the small triangle on the upper right of the album art) - that will play the segments in the order that you've set in the podcast properties. (For an audiobook, set the playback order to "Oldest first.")
Yes, in Zune set up that podcast should be played from the last (oldest) episode!
Great software, thank you so much.
Thanks very much for the app. It solved the Audio Book problem for me. I do have a "feature request/noob question" though. Can you make the custom picture start looking from the folder I choose the book to be in and not the last folder?
Also not that it really matters but when I start on the next book I get the error:
system.net.httplistenerexception: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request
at system.net.httplistener.getcontext()
at EIWPAudioBooks.FormCreateAudioBook.StartHttpServer(Object State)
I just close the app after each book so its not really a problem although I usally do a few books at a time.
