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

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)
Does anyone know a way to "block" folders from being scanned (added to the library)?
The reason for this question is that I have my music in \My Documents\My Music & my ringtones in the folder \My Documents\My Ringtones
The problem is that wmplayer also adds (scans) the "My Ringtones"-folder and I was hoping someone could give me a HowTo to block it from being scanned....
It is really a pain-in-the-*** when playing "all music" as it also plays all the ringtones......
Thanks
as far as know you cannot 'block' files or folders from being added, but the best way i find to get round it is to make a playlist in windows media player on ur computer of the music you want, then sync the playlist to ur phone, not the individual music, then the playlist will show up in media player on your phone and play that, as the playlist will only contain the music you want and not other files that have been added to the library by media player,
hope this helps!

That's what I have done myself, but sometimes I get music, when at a friend or something, and want that to be played but it is not a two-step-way to add to playlist on the phone itself
FYI: In CorePlayer they do it in some other way (much better ) There you can set the folders you want to be scanned.....
Thanks anyway
thats ok, i tried!
the other thing i would have said would be to use the TD3D music player! as you can edit the playlists from the phone itself, then you could add files at a friends house, then add them to the playlist on the phone.

I really would appreciate some help because I can't see my artists and songs in music tab in touchflo 3d on htc diamond. I can click the songs and play them but I can't see which songs are which.
Try this...
Set your file explorer to view all files (I'm not sure if the built-in file explorer will let you see these files), then navigate to your music folder. Look in each of the artists' folders, make a copy of the Album_Art.jpg and rename it to Folder.jpg - do this for each album in your music folder.
Windows Media Player uses the Album_Art.jpg to display the cover, TF3D uses the Folder.jpg to display the cover. For some reason best known to someone else, Media Player doesn't create album art named 'Folder' when you sync your music
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.
Hi all,
I am now having difficulties to add music folders onto the stock music player on gal not.
Currently i am using poweramp it is much easier, but i have issue when playing a song then the poweramp gets hung. It cannot skip and need to reboot the phone.
If anybody out there can help me please share me the knowledge.
Thank you
BR
Where are your music folders?
I have the opposite problem. The stock player includes every MP3 file on my phone, but some of my MP3s aren't music and I don't want them in the music player.
The stock player should just scan your whole phone and include any MP3s it finds. I don't think there is a way to tell it which folders to include or ignore.
Add a .nomedia file in the folders it shouldn't include.
@beanr2s
Open stock music player - menu - setting - music menu - check mark on folder
thats it.
