Hi:
Since the AT&T Froyo update, I am having odd music playlist problems. I am using the stock media player., and all music is stored to external SD card.
When in the song list, to add a song to a playlist, I hold down on the song, and select add to playlist, and then choose the playlist. It does not ever show up in the playlist I chose. This is the same way I have always added songs, only now it won't work.
If I go to the appropriate playlist, and remove songs via the menu button, and then add a few songs, the changes work properly, EXCEPT after the phone is turned off then back on, the changes disappear, and the original songs that were removed are still there, and the songs that were added are NOT there.
Any thoughts on what is causing this? I am desperate to fixe this. Every time I want to listen to music I have to go in and add/delete songs, which as you can imagine is hugely inconvenient.
Any thoughts will really be appreciated.
Thanks!!
Hi again:
I just tried using PowerAmp music player, and the same problem happens as with the stock player
Bump.
This is really a huge problem for me, any suggestions would REALLY be appreciated.
Thanks!
Have you had this problem on any custom ROM?

Hi:
Thanks so much for your reply. I have never flashed a custom ROM. I can however say that I did not have this problem on stock 2.1.
Thanks again!
I actually had this problem on a few roms I was using. A reinstallation of the music app seemed to fix it. In this case, a reset may help unless you want to root and remove/add the app back in the system/app folder.

Hi:
Thanks so much for your suggestion.
I am already rooted. Do I actually go into the system folder and remove it, paste it somewhere else, and add the same app, or do I need to find a file of the music app online to replace the original?
Thanks again!!

That's about it. I'd cut and paste it somewhere else just in case then move the new on in. You can probably grab the app from a lot of ROMs that use the Samsung Music Player or just search for it somewhere. It should be called MusicPlayer.apk

Great thanks!
One last question. Do you think this would affect the proper functioning even in Poweramp, because this problem is occurring when I use that also.
Thanks again!

I have an HTC Raider from Rogers and I installed PowerAmp on it. After it completes the library scan, it shows every song twice. However, when I open up the stock music app, everything looks normal. All of my music is currently stored on the external SD card. I did try moving all of the music over to the internal SD and poweramp only showed the music files once. However, I don't want my music eating up all the space on my internal sd.
Anyone else encountered this problem and possibly have a solution?

Never had this problem... that's odd. Maybe you could contact the dev of that app. Many of them are really good about resolving issues with users.

PowerAMP's library management seems to be a bit rubbish. It wouldn't read about half of my Japanese ID3 tags, nor 1/4 of my Korean ones... It's a bit of a disaster.

I also have an HTC Raider from Rogers and have the exact same problem.
Did you ever hear back from the developers about this?
Have you tried making sure that ONLY your music folder is getting scanned (by manually selecting it in the settings), then going into the advanced settings and initiating a full wipe/rescan?
I'm on a Rogers Raider and have never had this problem, so it's a shot in the dark. Been using PowerAmp for over a year across three phones.

Yes, I made sure that only the music folder is scanning. But still having the same problem, Please someone help me. :crying:
Using Nexus 4 with Android 4.2.2
I had this problem, uninstall it, clear your dalvik cache, reinstall it, select only your music folder, double check that you don't actually have duplicate files :laugh:
Hi,
try this:
Open Settings in powerAmp > Folders and Library > Music Folders (scroll down & down to make sure you select only 1 Folder where your music is stored).
that fixes mine. Hope that fixes your problem.
Maybe have a closer look
I have the Nexus 4, too and just solved the problem.
The first thing I did when acqiring Poweramp was de-selecting everything but the "music" folder.
But then I noticed that there was not only a folder of that name in /storage/emulated/0, but also in /storage/emulated/legacy, which was still selected, causing the problem.
Deselected the second one and everything worked fine
duplicate songs
the dual listing of songs files etc is usually caused by the app scanning dual paths. Set your app to only scan one folder for your music.

Hello all.
Does anyone know of a way to move the songs that have been purchased from google music onto your sd card? This would enable me to use a different music apk to play and listen to my music.
I know it has the option to make the selections available offline. However, it would be nice to know where those files are kept. Thanks in advance.
better put some water on that ****!
You can download it on your computer then put it on your phone, or use the "avalaible offline" option then you can find the mp3 files on /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music.
The first option is easier.

My google music works fine. And does it really take longer to uninstall/reinstall then it does to make a thread and wait for a reply? Or does this happen often and you have to uninstall/reinstall? Cause like I said, Google Music has no problems for me. However, I'm using a slightly older version (4.1.512) that's was modded to be transparent - don't know if the newest version might have issues?
I'm using 4.1.513 with no issues.
Mine works fine,but i added my own music and only play music at home on wifi normally.Never had any problems with it not showing.

I would try uploading my local music to google music.You can them make your google music available offline as well.
Do you have a custom ROM? Did this problem start with an upgrade such as ICS? I have ICS on a stock, unrooted Vivid. The Google Music app is 4.1.513. As soon as I started it, it found all my local music on the SD card as well as albums on my internal storage I had recently purchased and downloaded from Google. I don't mess with streaming music, so if that is what you're doing, maybe someone else can help you.

Same sd card? If so try reformatting it (backup important stuff, format card, replace important stuff)

This happens to me, too. The easier workaround than uninstall/reinstall is to locate the Google Play Music app under Settings/Apps and clear data.
Then use the Google Music app and go through the usual stuff. Your local music files will be there when you're done.
I know it's not a fix, but it's a better workaround than reinstalling the app.

So, I am running ParanoidAndroid on my GN and its f'cking amazing, but...
Something that I miss very, very much is the stock music player!
I have a lot of music and my twisted mind likes to create and organize playlists in a certain way and this is where I'am getting frustrated...
Samsung stock music player has a magical option which I cannot find, or I'am just to stupid to find in every other music player I tried
After creating playlist by selecting that playlist it shows all my music and that magical options-- ADD MUSIC, and then option to select all or just a few via checkboxes!!
I dont care abaut equalizer and all that other stuff, I just want back that simplicity!!
Please help- call me stupid, show me light, recommend me app that can do that- just HELP!!
Here is what you are looking for...

Thanks, tried it but thats not it!
I have to add songs one by one. I did found thread which states basically that I cant get what I want because someone has to port apk from /system/app because its linked in samsungs Tw framework and will not work with aosp rom no matter how i push it!
Or something like that...
Wish that i can provide link to thread but cant find it right now(working)!
If I got something wrong abaut this, KILL ME, I'AM A NOOB

LMAO, don't think your a NOOB if you can flash your phone with a custom ROM. Any ways have you tried creating your playlists on iTunes or WMP and just exporting the playlist to your phone

I flashed Paranoid Android to my Note coming from JB and everything's awesome. However, I too, really miss my stock Samsung music player. Did you in any way find a solution?
Btw, I backed up the apk of my music player using ES File Explorer before flashing. But when I try to install from it, I get an "Install failed" error. Any suggestions?
I really connect with your post because I also edit the tags on my mp3's in a particular manner which used to go really well with the stock Samsung music player.
I have exactly the same issue, everything else about Paranoid Android is amazing!!!
I have now started using WinAmp because I couldn't find a solution, but I would love to be able to get the stock music player back if it's possible or something similar
afaik, it's most likely not going to work because the stock music player relies on touchwiz framework, which paranoidandroid isn't based on.
I need some help with regard to the Sony Walkman app. It won't recognize a song (910 files copied to my phone, 909 songs available) and off course it's a big hassle to manually find the song.. Anyone know 1) a way to find the missing song, 2) why it's missing (read something about weird symbols in id-tags or something). Thanks in advance!
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Where did u copied the songs? SD or main memory? If its SD card just take it out and insert again. If its a main memory make
sure the folder is visibile by non root file commander. You can also try to clear cache and data of walkman app in settings.

Maybe the song is in some other format that doesn't come under songs in the walkman app..perhaps it's recognising it as a ringtone or stuff..btw it's just one song lol...a number I could live with..

Yeah, i know... It just bugs me I guess.. You 'fixed' it I guess, by searching for the format, I found that the folder contained 909 songs, but iTunes contains 910 songs (used Synctunes). Will try to find the missing song in iTunes now. Thanks!

Spoke too soon: Windows explorer tells me there are 910 songs in the folder, but when I select 'sort by type', I have 903 mp3's and 6 mp4a's. So one's missing, but when I scroll through the folder when I sort it by name, I don't see anything extraordinary.. I know this is not really a Xperia Z problem, but I guess I'll just share it right here, in the hope someone knows a little more
