[Q] Music player - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there some way to make the music play in random? I hate creating playlists and currently it plays songs in alphabetical order by song title. Also, I used Windows Media Player on the PC to sync songs to the Captivate, but many of the songs did not bring their album art over despite it being in the folder on the PC. Any fix for this? On my Tilt 2 I had a WinMo program that fixed this.

Toggle the 'shuffle' button
Does toggling the "Shuffle" button (on the "Now Playing" screen) not work? It's on the left, just above the progress bar - looks like two arrows crossing over each other.

Got it!. Thanks. Don't know how I missed it before.

Music issue

When I slide to the music icon, all the sounds that are on my phone appear, and I mean all the sounds, voice for gprs, phone sounds etc.
I have downloaded music from my pc to the storage card, but they do not appear under this icon. They do appear under windows media in the programme headings. Any help?
Am I the only one with this issue?
I Think so...
I also have that problem, I have moved about 650 songs over to the music folder on the storage card. All in their correct albums and by artist.
I then goto the music tab on Touch Flo but the only two songs that are there are the two that are pre-installed!
I can listen to them all through the windows media player which doesn't bother me as I've just hidden the music tab under touch flo.
What does bother me is that in windows media player hardly any of the songs I have transferred over are in the folders they are meant to be in! 80% of my songs are listed under unkown artist and then all. So there is no way to listen to say listen to a particular album by The Beatles.
All the songs have the right name but about 500 of them must be all grouped together.
I really want a way to sort this?

I had the same issue a while ago. Try soft and then hardresetting the diamond; that fixed it for me at least, after the hard reset it reloaded all the songs.

If I hard reset tho won't I lose the other applications and settings I have changed?

Music Library showing duplicate tracks and not refreshing after file delete

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.

anyone has the same issue with bluetooth headset?

when i use bluetooth headset HSH-DS220 with music play, it will always displayed error when switch to another song in playlist. either windows media player or Flo 3D music play error.
i have try Swift and Dutty cookies, but the same.
i don't know what cause it happened, any one know?
I'm not sure about the HSH-DS220 but I've been using the HBH-DS970 for way over 1 year - first with the PPC-6700 and now with the HTC Touch Diamond (Sprint version). I love it! However there are various Bluetooth problems like the Bluetooth connection dropping mysteriously or a sudden loss of the Handset control but continued connection through the Wireless. This means I can still hear the music, but pause stops working. Other times I'll start playing and it'll skip to the next song for no particular reason.
Let alone the absolute crappy implementation of the TF3D "Sprint Music" player! Oh I can go on and on about it's stupid implementation including the foolish fact that you have to select Menu: Shuffle [off] only to be presented with yet another menu to select whether I wanted "Shuffle [off]" or "Shuffle [on]"! Ah duh, if it's off then just toggle it!
Nor that the Voice Command allows you to ask "What song is this?" but will respond with "No media playing" if you're using TF3D "Sprint Music".
Nor that there's no capability to save where you're at in a song, of if you flip forward to see what's next it starts playing what's next, nor that you cannot edit any playlist synced from Windows Media Player, nor delete playlists you create, nor the fact that it's just plain horrid to be able to find a song flicking your finger through hundreds of tracks?!? Where's the A-Z strip! Etc. Ad Nausem!
But the HBH-DS970, as a device, is a good device and does Bluetooth well.

anyone's media player automatic closed when playing music using BT?

I use the orignal ROM with my HBH-DS220 BT stereo headset.
When I open the Windows Media Player to playing music via HBH-DS220, I turn off the screen, after about 10 minutes, Windows Media Player will automaic closed everytime.
I try to find the root cause of this issue, but nothing found.
Does anyone has the same issue like mine?
What do you mean by "closed". My understanding is that WMP (and all other apps) continue to run when "closed". You can see this on any of the tabs by pressing on the upper right hand corner which displays a list of currently running apps.

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...
