music on diamond - how to

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

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...

G1 won't recognise WMA ID3 tags!

so figured it out- neither tunewiki nor music will read the id3 tags from WMA files-
problem is most of my music has been ripped to WMA format due to it being smaller than MP3-
So i have 3 options:
1. convert the WMA files to OGG format
2. rerip all the albums to OGG
3. find a decent player that recognises WMA ID3 tags
any help with any of these would be much appreciated.
thanks

Looks like it's time to rerip.
As much as I say go open source, why not rerip in MP3? Granted it may be a somewhat aging codec (and patent-encumbered), but it's a de-facto standard that is guaranteed to work on almost any device that plays digital music.

WMA format on Android

Hi, All my music is in wma format. I copied about 5 albums to my g1 last night but only one of them has been found (in albums). The info about wma format on android is a bit ambiguous and I don't really understand why one album has been found (which is wma format like all the others).
Could someone please clarify the situation. Is there any way to get all the wma tracks to be recognised?

Here are the available formats: MP3, M4A (iTunes application AAC, DRM-free), AMR, WMA(8), MIDI, WAV, OGG Vorbis.
Also seems that you can listen to WMA(8) but you can't set them as notifications/ringtones... Was it converted as WMA8?
I'm personally not a massive fan of WMA, but why not convert the originals into .ogg instead? dbpoweramp music converter does it very well.

I had this issue the other day but all mine are .mp3's. What I had to do was go to settings > applications > manage applications and go to your music app and clear the data. Did that then it displayed everything again.

[Q] Missing Album Art on .wma files

I used Windows Media Player with my Galaxy S in Mass Storage Mode to sync my music. The majority of my music is in WMA format, with a few in MP3. None of the WMA files have any album art associated with them, but the few MP3s I have on there do.
Does anyone know how to get WMP or my phone to copy the album art correctly, or if there is a better way of synching my music that will include the album art (other than using Kies *spit* or converting everything to mp3)?

I use a program called mediamonkey to add the album art to all my songs. Very easy to do using that program. Some file systems use the folder.jpg and some need the picture to be tagged into the files directly, this program does both. Instead of syncing, I just drag and drop albums directly into the phone after that, makes things more neat and tidy instead of having folders for every different artist and album (this happens when using sync with any program... windows media player, winamp or even mediamonkey).
