This is odd. I have just for the first time copied my .mp3 music files from my PC to the SGS but for some odd reason it says this file type is not supported when I try to play them in the music player (I have the stock and Gingerbread ones). The only way I can play them is via YxPlayer which is a multi format video media player. I thought all MP3's were the same. Any ideas?
Edit: Fixed with a re-boot. Still odd why it did this though
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.

Hi guys,
Wondered if you could help in suggesting a good music player besides the standard MIUI one, (I'm on an MIUI rom), that plays almost everything especially music which has been ripped of YouTube into a MP3 format via an unnamed YouTube rip app. MIUI music player thinks they are all videos but on other roms with galaxy s standard music player recognizes them as music so makes it much easier to play them all.
Ta.

Try doubletwist or poweramp, google play music should work too.
I like player pro.. mostly because of its feature of selecting the music folders.. only files in the folders you have selected will be shown in the music library
There is a weird and annoying bug in XXLSC and XXLSZ's stock Music Player (and Google Play Music in XXLSZ).
In XXLSC, all my music was in /sdcard/Music, like it was in ICS (and it was fine there), but the stock Music Player said 'No songs'. Nothing I did (including restarting the app, restarting the phone, renaming the folder to 'music' and 'MUSIC') worked.
A similar problem occurs in XXLSZ. When I turn the phone on, the stock Music Player says 'No songs'. But when I open Google Play Music which is installed by default, 8 of my 12 songs are displayed. When I switch back to the stock Music Player, it also displays the 8 songs. It's really annoying that I can't get all my songs on the app.
What can I do to fix this in XXLSZ?
You can resolve installing Rocket Player, it find all media
Hey guys
I was wondering if it is possible to listen to music that is downloaded directly from your phone and isn't just transfered from your PC?
It seems like if I download any music from my phone browser I can't listen to that music later as it says 'unable to play this type of audio file'.mp3).
Any programs to open it or android converters?
thanks in advance
Seems strange.
I've downloaded an album from the phone and i can listen it.
And, if the file is mp3, phone will play it.
