[Q] Changes to music not showing up? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an annoying problem trying to update music. I noticed when I synced some of my DMX .mp3's there was a comma after his name. I got rid of it on my Laptop and I got rid of it from my sd card and synced it back to my phone changes didn't take place. I did reboot my phone and still nothing.
I used Titanium backup to clear the data in the stock music player and also deleted the data files associated with PlayerPro. I tried syncing with winamp and WMP and still no changes. I also used MP3Tag and the name to the .mp3's are fine.
Is there a way to clear some kind of cache and allow the phone recognize the music changes?

Touchflo 3d crashes when I open the music tab

As the title says, really annoying... its been fine but now when ever I go to the music tab in Touchflow 3d, touchflo has to restart.. tried a soft reset and turning off/on, still does it.. anyone else had this problem and fixed it without a hard reset?
Had that too... try re-encoding the files.
I too have just had this problem.
I had deleted some songs from the phone and the TouchFLo player interface said tha the somgs were stil listed.
Also, I couldn't get any pictures of the album art to appear.
I used Explore via Activesync to delet all music albums, songs, album art from the 'Internal Storage' (HTC Touch Diamond) and then did a soft reset to see if that woud prompt the phone to refresh the TouchFLo madia player interface to search again and reset its list.
That's when the ******* thing started this crashing.
Windows Media player mobile is working fine.
I have many programs installed and do not wish to hard reset unelss it is absolutley necessary.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Can't really recode as I've deleted all the music files.
Cheers for now.
Only way I could get it to work more or less properly was to sync music via media player and set it to convert to wma as it syncs. I'm still looking for alternatives as syncing with wmp is a pain.
OK, I fixed it.
I had tried using WMP to sync, but it still didn't cure the problem.
For anyone who still has this problem, please try this....
1) Go into file manager on your phone
2) Navigate to My Device > Application Data > HTC > AudioManager_Eng
3) Go into the Playlists folder and delete all playlists.
4) Exit File Manager
Try the Music application again. It should now seach for music again.
The above fixed mine.
Good luck

I will bare this in mind for (I'm sure) when it happens again, sadly I got bored and did a hard reset before I checked replies here.
I got the same problem here. There are some mp3-files that seems to crash the Touch 3D Music app while it is scanning the Internal Storage. While it happens the whole Touch 3D is laggy. A very frustating bug I think. And syncing via WMP will only help when it (re)encodes the original MP3 to WMA. I think it's HTC who had to fix this bug.
On some files it helps to first remove all Mp3tags and than retagging them. So I think it must be something with the tags.
I have the same problem on my HTC Touch Pro.
after adding album art the music tab crashed.
I deleted all the music files (from the storage card) and tried what rowleav suggested than did a soft reset, but the music tab keeps craching........
This really s....
don't like to do a hard reset as I have a lot of software on it.
anyone knows a way to fix this ???
I have a 16 gb Micro SD card on the Touch Pro, and the Touch Flo player is really not up to the job. Selecting an album or a play list is okay, but I like to listen to music on random. Select all files and it can take 5-10 minutes for the player to display album covers. And sometimes it crashes.
Pocket Tunes handles this many files far better. But I can't get it set up to be the default music player with my HTC bluetooth headset. It still opens the Flo player.
WMP works okay if it is open, but doesn't have cross-fade. Which I like.
I fixed it
Only deleting the playlists like rowleav wrote did not work for me I also had to delete a file called "AudioManager_Eng.vol" (application data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\AudioManager_Eng.vol)
Then a soft reset isn't needed. Just go back to the music tab and it will create the AudioManager_Eng.vol file again and search for music files.
now i have to try and add my music again to find the one causing the problems. at least it's now easy to repair once it goes wrong again
Worked!

This worked beautifully! Thanx!
I'm having the same issue - with a crash every time I go to the music tab. I was having problems deleting the AudioManager_Eng.vol file. I did a soft reset to delete the file, and now all seems to be working as it re-builds the library.
i have a similar problem but tf3d hangs when i want to stop the musicplayer and select another tab. only 'start' still works so i can stop and restart tf3d but when i finish listening to music the ritual starts over.
any suggestions ? (i removed the mentioned files but that didn't fixe it).

[Q] Changes to music not showing up?

Disappearing Playlists

Has anyone noticed any issues where sync'd playlists just randomly disappear from the phone? I have tried iSyncr and Tunesync and both work well for getting my iTunes lists over to the phone, but lately every couple days the lists are just gone, files removed from SDcard. All the music and album are is there, but the playlists themselves are missing.
I use both the PowerAmp beta and the WinAmp beta as my players of choice. I am running one of the Cognition 2.2beta9.x releases. The most unusual thing is the stock player is still showing the playlists accurately.
My two thoughts are either the stock player is "importing" the playlists and for some reason removing the files or there is something wrong with the WinAmp beta that caused them to delete. I have just uninstalled winamp and will wait and see if it happens again, but thought I would ask if anyone else has seen this behavior.
Thanks.
I have same problem. Galaxy S Fascinate (Telus) - I'd synchronize my m3u playlists using media monkey. File manager would show that all playlists were present and MediaMonkey would "see" and play all songs within every playlist. But after removing phone (safely) the Music Player would only see a small subset of the number of playlists. Android File Manager would also only show the same small subset. All the rest had disappeared!
I discovered a workaround - Create 2nd Backup folder for Playlists. Create a .nomedia file in the backup folder. Copy all Playlists into Backup folder while hooked up to PC. When unhooked, see which playlists are missing and copy them from Backup folder to Playlist folder. They stick around now.

[Q] Music sync issue

Has anyone come across this problem recently?
I have been happily syncing playlists to my sd card via musicbee on my pc for ages now. Flashing Rom's on and off with no issues (currently on Crash rom v10.1plus).
Suddenly my music all went to pot. So, I have done a clean install of my note (formatted everything) top start again.
Now whenever I sync my music I don't get the tags accross onto the phone. In other words I get "unknown" Artist/Album etc.
I have tried musicbee (which I have used for ages without problems) and now mediamonkey to see if it was musicbee causing the problem. It's the same whatever windows software I use to sync with.
However if I just copy and paste one of my music folders it all appears on the phone fine. This method isn't really a useable one for me as I have an extensive music collection thet won't all fit on my phone so I like to sync playlists so I get my favourite subset of my music at any one time and can change it as my mood changes.
Anyone else noticed this and/or have any idea how it can be fixed?
EDIT: Just noticed that If I sync an album manually the tags go over ok but if I make a playlist of the same album and sync the playlist the tags don't go over??
