Hey guys,
I went to play some music on my phone today and i have every song twice.
I am using Cyan 4.04 and HTC music. both songs acording to the player are sitting in the same place.
I just tried deleting all songs off my SD and rebooting but no go. The songs still appear in HTC music but now i can play any of the cos they arent on the SD card to play.
Anyone else seen this or know of where the data file for HTC music is kept so i can delete.
Thanks guys
I did a couple of searches for duplicates but with no avail
Cheers
I'm having same problem. All songs have duplicates. But there is only one actual audio file in the music folder. I have my music stored on '/My Storage/Music/Artist/Album/Songs.mp3'.
I tried deleting the files in the HTC/AudioManager folder (music.vol & cache files, then restarted) but didn't help.
And on a separate note, should I be able to flip through multiple albums on the Music tab home screen, or just the songs from the current album? I can only flip through the songs from one album, then have to use the Library to find another. And am I stuck having songs listed alphabetically instead of album order?
Anyone track down any answers for this one? Really would like to get Audio Manager working properly.
THANKS!
Ok, so the last 3 phones I have had, I just hooked up and opened windows media player, dragged over a playlist and loaded to the phone. Now with the Captivate, I load a playlist from windows media player but the phone doesnt see the playlist, I now have to browse music by Albums or Artist. This is really annoying when some playlists have various artists, it makes a bunch of new playlists for each artist Is there a way around this, or a better music player. I have about 4K songs on the songs, a few hundred are all seperated now instead of being in their respective playlists. Im not gonna sit there and create playlists
I see a Playlists folder with the lists I loaded frmo windows media player, but I cant access these Playlists through the stock app
You posted in wrong section. Thiis is for Developement for Captivate not general questions or help questions about getting something to work.
try the stock player for the android, I know that recognizes the m3u's or try doubletwist
Sorry about the wrong section, but yea I tried the stock music player on my Captivate. Didn't recognize the playlists.
This is a known issue - many people are using alternate music players that do recognize playlists. The Captivate seems to store its "phone created" playlists in a DB somewhere.
What else do you recommend other than double twist.

Media Monkey is a great PC solution - I like it much much much better then Doubletwist - but you need a player that supports M3U playlists - most music players do.
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.
Hi guys......I've been using Apex 5.3 and I've noticed something......You make a playlist in your favorite music player and then reboot the phone, after the reboot and the media scanner, you check the playlist and there are no songs in the playlist!!..............I've notted that it just happens in Android 2.2 Froyo, when i was whit a GB ROM It didn't happen...... I would like to know if there is any way to avoid this!.....It's annoying making the same playlist a lot of times!!! I would appreciate you to Help Me
And....sorry for my bad English ...........If you don't understand my words tell me please I'm just learning and i'm from Mexico!! Greetings

Your playlist are usually saved on your sd card as a little file. You could back it up and re-open it after flashing a new ROM.
Might be different with different player tho, I haven't tested it. Just my though on it as I don't use playlist
Do you know where I can find this file???

Usually would be in a folder created by your music player (with the name of your music player). Although, like I mentionned, I don't use playlist so I'm not sure where they would be placed
I'm going to go ahead and mention this now:
This is an issue relating to the media scanner. It is not specific to any one application, phone, or ROM. I've done a ton of searching on Google for an answer, and it is obviously not restricted and seems to come from the media scanner. Winamp, Songbird, PowerAMP, Instinctiv, Android Music, etc... all seem to have this problem.
As far as I know, there is no fix. Your best bet is to get an app that will let you sync playlists from your computer, and sync regularly. If you use an app that saves playlists as .m3u, you can create a new folder called .NoMedia, and media scanner will ignore it, and thus, not try to update it. If your app does not create playlist files, your playlists are stored in a database file and you're really out of luck.
Please, if anyone knows of a fix, please help!

The only solution I've found is FLASHING A GINGERBREAD ROM...I haven't had problems about this in Gingerbread........But I think they are still a little unstables!! :S
I'm having the same problem with FroYo and PowerAmp on my Captivate but the problem only occurs when I unmount and re-mount the SD cards and then the media scanner runs. If I reboot on the phone normally the scanner leaves the playlists in tact.
If you're using PowerAmp there's actually a 2 different settings that fix this, under Advanced Folder options: No System Scan For Folders, and Create /MusicFolders. For the first one you just select which folders you want to exclude from the scanner, for the latter it creates said folder (on both SD cards) and then you need to move your music to the MusicFolders folder(s). I suppose the former is easier if you have your music spread out over both SD cards or just don't feel like moving your music underneath another subfolder. The trade-off to this is that you lose use of the System Library and can only use Folder Playlists.
I used the Create /MusicFolders option, moved all my mp3s under it, created a couple of playlists with a few songs each. Unmounted/re-mounted the SD cards and also rebooted the phone and let the media scanner run both times and the Folder Playlists were untouched. Hopefully there's a fix eventually but for now, I can live with cumbersome functionality of using only folders since I only use playlists and very rarely shuffle all the songs on my phone. Not having to spend a half hour recreating playlists is more than worth the tradeoff.
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??
