Hi Suddenly my phone can not play mp3 files. I'm using player pro, and default player 'music player' both of them. If I try to play it the "Sorry the player does not spport this type of audio file" message keep coming out. Even it can not play video, and it says it has problem with playing video. Even the ringtone I made from an mp3 file can not be played right now. So when it get calls it gives silence.
I've heard that there's some apps for playing media files, I might miss that now. can anybody tell me where i can get those apps?
Do you have any idea about this? I rooted the phone, but didn't change the rom. it has still 2.1.

I'm having the same issue after the Froyo update. The only solution I've found is to reboot which, to me, is bull****.
I have two Captivates running Phoenix Ultimate and they have both exhibited this. rebooting does fix it but I don't really consider that a fix.
Pro Player is the prefered player but I noticed it does this with the stock player as well.
Did anyone find a permanent fix for this?
My Captivate was working fine but started doing this randomly after I upgraded to 2.2. I will not be able to play any media, won't connect to youtube either. Of course the reboot works, but I miss calls because it randomly stops playing my custom ringtone.
Same here. Anyone have a fix?
Not playing mp3 suddenly
I am also having this problem with audio and video files not playing.Yes, reboot works but is not a fix!
I am also having this problem. It happens like twice a day now, really starting to piss me off. Any solution get?
U see alot of posts but no info that is needed to help. No rom version, no modem, no kernel info. All these things matter.
Mine is SGH-I896
Firmware 2.2
Baseband I896UXJL1
Kernal 206.32.9
Build FROYO.UXJL1
This is getting so annoying...
I am on 2.3.3 (Mosaic III, a jvh build) using X-cal's 1.2 no voodoo reorient jvh kernel. Previously, I used Phoenix and mostly speedmod kernels. Since upgrading to Froyo, I cannot play 95% of my music.
Currently, the included Mosaic music players (both stock 1.1.1 and miui v. 1) only play about 5% of my non-drm mp3s which are stored on my external sd card. (The error says "sorry, the player does not support this audio file" or something like that; but they are all mp3s with Id3v2.2 tags. I painstakingly checked. 95% are rendered unknown artist and are unplayable by the music players.) I have deleted and reloaded the music to no avail. Again, I had the same problem under Froyo (Phoenix Roms) but no problems under Eclair. I don't think this is a Rom based issue but I'm not prepared to rule it out.
I have tried at least four other music apps and they all have the same problem.
I will try to remove both included music apps (which are regarded as system apps) and reinstall.
Question: is there an explanation as to what is causing this? Whether or not there is an explanation, has anyone found a resolution?
This has been a frustrating several months and I thought, foolishly, that Gingerbread would solve the issue.
Any relevant insight on this (ruled out culprits, etc.)?

Unfortunately, this still doesn't work. I'm completely perplexed. I use my phone as an mp3 player. But now, that functionality is useless.

This might sound VERY WEIRD, but trust me, remove the official Twitter app. I was facing this issue as well and when I Googled around, I found that other people were running into this as well and was in-fact caused by the Twitter app.

I found that answer too but, fortunately or unfortunately, I don't have the twitter app and never have had the twitter app.
Is it possible to bump this problem/error to the Team Phoenix Devs?
Just to restate the problem: My phone refuses to play mp3's. Since Phoenix Rising Froyo Roms (using Speedmod kernels) to Mosaic III (using X-cal's 1.2 no voodoo reorient jvh kernel) I cannot play my non-drm mp3 music collection stored on my external sd card. The error says "sorry, the player does not support this audio file" or something like that. I've only used Team Phoenix Roms. I've searched far and wide on the Internet, I've reformatted my SD card, installed different music apps, uninstalled and reinstalled music apps, changed the mp3 ID3 tags on iTunes, tried an mp3tagger on the phone, reinstalled Adobe Flash 10.3, cleared music app caches, rebooted, deleted and reloaded the music all to no avail.
Is there something i have not tried? Can Team Phoenix help solve this dilemma?
Short Mp3 ringtones also do not work. :-(
This seems to happen to my youtube app also. Just stops playing videos and phone needs a restart... So I can't listen to music or watch youtube videos.. happening at least once a day now..
For Music:
Try switching your id3 tags to v2.3. I had v2.4, switched to v2.1 when this problem occurred only to discover that only old Android releases had problems with v2.3. (I'm led to believe Android still has problems with v2.4.) I now hear v2.3 should be read.
Based on this message from Apr 11, 2010, on the official Android open issues debugger list, several users reported improved functionality after employing the following: After switching tags, Go to Menu, Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, Options Filter All, Media Storage, Clear Data, Power off the phone, power on the phone.
Youtube: I'm sure you have done this but have you tried different versions of Adobe Flash (latest version 10.3, available in Market) and uninstalling twitter (if you have twitter installed)? Did you clear youtube's memory cache, uninstall, reboot, and reinstall?
Hope something here works for someone. I haven't be able to try the music suggestions yet.
Captivate - Mosaic III
Progress!
Update:
So I decided to go back to a music syncing program to see if that would solve the problem of making the music playable. In particular, I went back to Doubletwist (which was buggy as hell and why I dumped it). So I deleted all of the songs from Android, deleted the media storage cache, deleted the old library file restored in Double Twist, and synched as outlined above.
Result: Roughly 60 - 70% of the music works! The syncing took nearly 12 hours to load 20GBs of music. When I would simply "transfer" it by selecting and dragging, it would take 3 hrs. Unfortunately there are still 139 unknown artists -- even if songs are from artists with other (if not the same) readable album.
Why do some of the songs play and others do not? Not sure just yet. Will investigate further.
Note: If after syncing Doubletwist, and your playlists don't show up, according to this XDA post I hear a reboot may work.
Again, hope this helps someone.

I have a MT3G, CM 4.2.11.1, with Stericson's lockscreen for same. This issue started to occur roughly with CM-4.2.9 I think. If I start a music player (Music, Meridian, Slacker, Pandora etc), and then attempt to do ANYTHING else on my phone, the music player will stop and close. Has anyone else had this problem?
I have a 16gb uSDHC card, with 128k swap, if that makes a difference.
EDIT: Also, if I start another app THEN the music player, it will work fine. FOR EXAMPLE: If I start the SleepTimer app, set the timer, and then start Pandora and turn my screen off, it will work fine. However, if I start Pandora first, then open SleepTimer, it will close Pandora and I'll have to go back into it. Or, if I've started SleepTimer, and Pandora, and then I try to use the browser, it will stop Pandora.
I use Pandora as my example because I use it most often, but this has happened with all 4 listed media players above.
I was having those problems too, where the music player just has a black screen, the phone lags for about 30 seconds then I get the FC thing. This was happening on both cyan and dwangs ROMs. After a while it stopped, it works fine now. I don't know what was causing it. It might have been another app I had on the phone that was conflicting with it.
i have this problem as well. it is really annoying, and would love to know how to fix it on cm 4.2.12
I used to have this issue also. It was fixed in one of the newest CM updates.
Hey guys anyone know of any new changes in the stock music player? Will there actually be an EQ? I even noticed the music player looked different at the Google IO correct me if I'm wrong if anyone knows anything let us know even though the froyo out now still has some bugs thnx
Mine did not play .aac files
No changes yet. The demo was for whats to come in a later update. Theres absolutely no change in froyo.
No change in Froyo. The new music player is for the Gingerbread update.

That is a shame, if google put as much effort into the music player, as they did the gallery, they would be set.

Nope, no sign of the Music player demoed in the keynote. I suggest Cubed, it's a very slick music player.
I like mixZing too. Automatically makes intelligent choices on what to play next based on your current music queue

are you sure look at when that guy transfers music onto his phone from a computer the controls look different unless he is using another player?
apk path has to be different, because i tried to apply the music mod that was available on 2.1 (allowed you to put a decent looking widget with album cover on a screen)
now i have two copies of music :/ my headset buttons control only the froyo version, but not the music widget i want.
sucks, lol

Hey guys if your having problems playing some music files here's what you do:
Put the music that you can't play on your sd card.
Get "Astro file manager" from the market.
open the app and find your music.
select the song click and hold it...
select "Edit" and then "Rename"
delete what ever is after .
(for example, song Iloveyou.wma)
(delete the wma and type .mp3
and your all SET!
I cant play .wav files, I get voicemail from my office (exchange) in a .wav format and I cant play them anymore (used to on 2.1).
Runing 2.2 now, any suggestions?
I contacted the developer of btunes and he said he doesn't even have permission to develop or put an equalizer on his music player whatever that is supposed to mean? lol

Same here. My voip carrier send voicemails as GSM6.1/wav email attachments. My N1 cannot open play them. So I have no suggestions but would love to be able to play them on the phone.

I suppose it is just not as important to very many people... but it sure would be nice to be able to listen to my voice mail I get in my inbox.

I seem to be able to play wav files in the CM music app, Rock Player, and PowerAMP. Suggest trying one of those...

I had the same problem until I upgraded to Gingerbread (using micromod777's ROM). Now all of my music has been recognized again.
Anybody here who experience music player to "Force Close" once you clicked the albums tab and tilt the phone horizontally to view the CDs? it says:
THe appplication Music Player (process com.sec.android.app.music) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again. dumpstate_app_201009052141_com_sec_android_app_music.log has been saved. Use *#99099# to copy out log.
then the button Force Close.
idk how long has this problem been going. i remember just loading a bunch of music and rooting the phone and i noticed this just last night.
what causes this?
Edit: i just unrooted the phone, deleted some files.. and still going. and btw it only happens under the "Albums" tab.
easy way around
So If you have a lot of mp3's in the phone it chokes for some reason, only the albums tab and only the stock captivate music player every other one works. I went around this by installing the stock android music player. looks and acts like the Samsung one but it actually works.
This was taken from cryogens rom. To make it perfect I installed "music player lock screen" from the market.
Hope that helps

Hi and thx
I am running Nookie Froyo for EMMC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926749
I have the weirdest problem mp3's will not play and when trying a youtube video is says, "Sorry, this video cannot be played"
Seems like some kind of codec issue. Any ideas?
Yea there is some kind of audio codec problem with playing mp3 on Froyo. I noticed that too with youtube app. It run but won't play any video. However, with flash extension and going to youtube.com on Dolphin Browser, the music played. I've also noticed Gameloft games have no audio too but other games have audio. I guess audio source from ogg worked but not mp3. I think we need to wait for a kernel fix.
I was able to get at least MP3s playing by downloading the sideload update zip file for 1.0.1 from B&N directly, unzipping it, and copying the contents of /system/lib/dsp to my device, then rebooting. YMMV, but it at least got stock and winamp to play MP3 files, though winamp still wont play shoutcast streams... its little by little though i guess.

Either it doesnt work with the files from the 1.1.0 update or i did it wrong
Edit: Just restored the original files, then put the 1.0.1 and youtube nor pandora work. Theres something else thats changed that prevents it. Youtube.com with flash works albeit the video is very laggy (sound is fine though)
I pulled the /system/lib/dsp folder out of the 1.1 root flashable zip, copied it (after backup up current dsp folder) to my Froyo 0.5.9 nook, running on eMMC, and rebooted. I can now play mp3s, however, I have to launch them from root explorer, which is less than desirable.
I just upgraded to froyo 0.6.8 via EMMC, dual boot, and dalingrin's OC kernel and Mp3 playback seems to be working fine, however, mp4 streaming apps like youtube, pandora, and cnet tv all seem to be broken still.
Someone in the forums said they got Youtube to run after clearing the Dalvik-cache but that did not work for me.
I synced about 3,00 songs to my Xoom and the Xoom refused to play 100 of them. All the songs were standard mp3s that I ripped myself. If I copied the files back to my PC, they play fine.
In an effort to fix this, I cleared the data of the Media Storage and Music app. The Xoom is now rebuilding the music, but new files are showing up in the music player with an unknown artist and these tracks give me an error trying to play. Strangely enough, the player recognizes the album art, album title and name. Just not the artist.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is their a work around? I have tried other music players, but all yield the same result.

Someone posted a similar issue several weeks ago. Try downloading PowerAmp from the market and see if they play. It seems the stock player cannot play everything.

Thanks for the tip. That did the trick. I just wish the stock player worked because it has a much more tablet friendly interface.
thx this happened to me too. my evo, xbox and pc can play all of my music but for some reason my xoom cant play about 3 albums
For those still having this issue, I have isolated my issue. While all the mp3 files that have given me problems play fine everywhere else, the Xoom is a little more particular. This happened to me years ago with one of my iPods.
I tried resyncing the files. I tried editing and updating the track tags and album art, but none of that worked. Finally, I reripped an album and that did it. Most of my mp3s were ripped 10 years ago by the old musicmatch program. That has caused problems in the past, but none for quite a while. I have successfully synced about 20 of the 100 songs that were giving problems.
If it matters, I have used Windows Media Player and iTunes to rip the problem songs.
Yeh IV found these problems are 99% due to problematic rips. These days I just use windows media player on mp3 320 then mp3tag to change any additional.al stuff or embed the album art.
Some programs don't correctly meet the standard and some staggers just make a mess.
